Also, in our dicrepit years, wouldn't it be prohibitively expensive to give adequate cover?

Is there anything wrong with a two tier health service where the most advantaged in society get seen quicker because they have money? If this was paying for private health care then I say go for it, but the jist seems to be that it is NHS resources that are used and paid for by insurance. Is this correct? Or is the argument that this helps put capital in the NHS so that other resources are not stretched? I've never been sure how this works? Years ago my father had to go private to get proper treatment for prostate cancer, but this was in a BUPA hospital, with, I think BUPA consultAnts. Speeded up the process by months. He still died so not the best example I guess.

He's Teflon tbh, and I am sure this is more about Europe for the right wing press than tax avoidance. Happy Thatcher Day Everybody! Ding Dong!

Maybe the labour council have no choice. Maybe they have to choose between housing the homeless and closing libraries because of the cuts. Or between funding adult social care and closing a library.

Black currant is brave coming on here and labelling ED as least desirable.

Moved out three years ago and the property I bought had seen a just over 50% increase based on sales. It's happening all over but has to peak at some point. However, with councils moving more and more lower income families and those on benefits out of London, to be inevitably replaced with those of more means, I think the bubble will last a tad longer. We'll all be asset millionaires by then :( it's turning us into Tories.

A few labour MPs I know want Owen Smith.

?115 million to combat rough sleeping is BS apparently. ?100m of it already exists in existing schemes and budgets. Sigh. Meanwhile homelessness soars.

Depends on how big your family and hose is. When I moved I suggested getting a water meter and the chap from Thames Water laughed at me. In a 4 bed house with 2 kids he said no way would I save!

Ooh touched a patriotic nerve there!

In! I'd vote to leave this uncaring, selfish, poor bashing shithole of a country if I could! Viva Europe!

Being funded by disposal of Bournemouth road as I understand it. Are councils not allowed to provide decent working environments for their staff?

Am hoping to buy a franchise to do similar in Catford Broadway with ex homeless clients training to be baristas.

Not the poor woman on the documentary tonight I hasten to add after watching it.

Camilla's kids. We had a 22 yr old come to us shortly after the collapse of KC. One of Cammilla's kids. They had been paying for her to live in a ?2k per month riverside flat. Once they closed the YP faced eviction. Local Housing Allowance would stretch to just over ?400 for a room in a shared house. She had a breakdown of course. Perfect example of Kids Club in my experience.

Housing crisis trumps planning / residents' concerns? - discuss

Let's just get this straight - you want to make them homeless? You're happy to jump the whole, "Get them to change their behaviour" phase and go straight for the homeless route. Well, if you are hell bent on getting them evicted then you will need to find out who owns the property / who is the landlord / managing agent. SASBU can help this.

Yep. Was a live in flat for workers that looked after the homeless. It was twenty five a month. Not 250.

Can we get a description of the chap and I'll speak to Southwark council about it.

I had a Little Venice 1 bed flat for 2 years for ?25 a month, between 98 and 2000. It was ace! Bills inclusive an all! Moved out of there to a free place in Primrose Hill. These bargains however no longer exist! Personally I'd move to Manchester, which is definitely still cool. (apart from the fact that it is full of Mancs!)

Perfect for dogging.... Ahem, so I hear.

Loved it. Love Star Wars and always will.
