No no and no. Community activism (or even just caring) is NOT about keeping you head down, minding your business, and assuming there are Mensa-level experts making infallible decisions based on impeccable advice and in perfect sympathy and harmony with public sentiment. Especially when it's with our money and impacts green space, no matter how trivial it might seem. The council cuts down way too many trees and never replaces them, there's no urban canopy, trees on my road especially are trimmed to within an inch of their lives so people can send an invoice. Southwark has a full time tree removal person but no green regeneration person around street trees in particular. It's like having 25 morgue workers in a hospital but no midwife. Best gift you can give anyone for the future is to plant a tree today. -
National insurance for landlords? I’d say over half of them are past retirement age -
Is it just me or does it feel like the governments romours, hints and leaks about what Reeves may do in the budget is spooking the horses? Reports in the media have hinted at proposals to change council tax and stamp duty are causing the housing market to stall, the idea of changing the vat threshold is causing concern for small businesses and bank shares took.a hit as a tax hike is floated. Whilst nothing is concrete till budget day, surly the fall out from rumours is doing a lot of harm to the economy and anxiety for a lot of people. It feels almost like we are being shown the worst case scenarios so when a bad one hits us we will all go, oh its not as bad as xyz would have been. Whilst there are always pre budget rumours, it does feel a lot like its out if control this time. -
