eh? I've agreed with you that was teh problem, it was the community/culture thing i had issue with.

Well maybe the incompetent, blame bucking culture in the public sector....


> Nick Griffin and that Tommy twat from the EDF can claim the moral high ground

It's been interesting to see the Guardian squirm over the past few days. The question will be how much they suppressed in the name of not wanting to be seen as 'racist'.


Curiously, the only journo at the Gruin that looks like coming out of this with any credibility is Julie sodding Bindel, who raised the issue half a decade ago.

I very much doubt anyone else on this thread does quite frankly.

Indeed.


But why let that get in the way of some lazy mud slinging.

Are you saying that if there are people who knew what was happening and were in a position of being able to do something, but failed to act, you are saying there is no blame to laid?

I have decided to take no further part in the hateful shitfest but I have taken names. oh yes. I will however add that jack Straw did raise this nigh on a decade ago regarding his Blackburn constituency. So mebbes ex NUS president and all round political tugster jack Straw should be the new darling of the EDF monday club. See if you can shoehorn this into any further fourm conversation, ideally using a Jack Straw : Strawman analogy for extra points

I'm interested to hear what people think about the culture (not specifically this case) of just calling for resignations from heads of service whenever something bad happens?


To me it's just a crap way of showing the country (and the breying press) that action has been taken, whilst not actually doing anything to fix problems.


That is not to say that Jobs should never be lost given proper investigation, but it seems that a quickscapegoated figurehead is the preferred option for the hordes.

Surely you can find some way of taking the blame all the way back to Maggie?

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
