despritdan Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The idea that our police will tackle the migrant smuggling gangs based abroad when they can't even tackle shoplifting gangs in this country is laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotequila Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Re-nationalising the railways probably won't make a great deal of difference, if the unions can still call a strike whenever they feel like they want more cash 🤨 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it's sometimes the councils who are responsible, though not strictly no fault eviction. The secret social housing scandal: when your parent dies – and you are evicted in days Guardian In 2022 I was contacted by a friend of a friend – let’s call her Tiana – who was distraught. Her mum had become sick a few months earlier, so Tiana, who was her mum’s only child, had moved out of her own house and into her mum’s flat in south London, to care for her. Then, in March 2022, her mum died suddenly. Before Tiana even had the chance to arrange her funeral, she received an eviction notice from the council, giving her only a few days to move out. Her mum had lived there for 20 years. Tiana asked them for a two-week extension on compassionate grounds, to give her time to sort through her mum’s stuff and figure out where she was going to live. They wouldn’t give it to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
