One image and comments that show how flawed, ****ed up in fact, your interpretation of data and graphs is.
1. The time line runs 1995 -2015 making the graph, source unknown, nine years out of date.
2. People in social housing have less floor space per occupant in England than those in privately rented accommodation outside of London.
3. The lack of control of private landlords and tory government housing policy lead to poor conditions for renters particularly those with low incomes.
4. The biggest contributor to the housing crisis was Thatcher's right to buy and prohibiting the use of sales income to build new stock.
I remember the enthusiasm from Southampton Council Housing Director when there was talk of allowing him to use that sales income to build …

It was cancelled before it happened

Why has this thread been allowed to be taken over by one person and their nonsense?
Trump Era.


Choose Trump. Choose being orange. Choose nepotism. Choose incestuous comments. Choose a ****ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose private health, low investment, and dental insurance. Choose buy-to-let mortgage repayments. Choose a race riot. Choose rich friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of ****ing fabrics. Choose McDonalds and wondering who the **** you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that Oval Office couch tweeting out covfefe and watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing ****ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ****ed up electorate you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.

Choose Trump.

You sound very angry.

He’s going to be a fantastic president :)

Look, you know that Os just spends all his time on the web, picks random posts without reading them fully, pastes them here trying to be the all knowledgeable one. If it makes him feel better, I leave him to it. I don't know how many subtle (and not so subtle) ways I try to tell him that he is talking to the wrong forum and 99% of posters on here think he is either a crackpot, wind up merchant or plain stupid.

Why would you keep posting on here when everyone ignores 90% of what you say (mainly because of the way he says it), I really don't know.

Good advice.

On the contrary, I mean every word.

UK has huge problems and smart people like Trump/Musk are needed here.

Unfortunately most wealthy and smart people are being forced to leave by the ridiculous tax burden.

I genuinely find most of your opinions as crackpot as you find mine. The fact you are all ok with the decline of the country perplexes me.

I try not to be rude but sometimes the insults and bullying makes me retaliate

So when are you off?

We do need more street cleaners.

14 years of Tory government and taxes went up and up. Now apparently is time for all the rich people to leave. Almost like there is an agenda.

Yet you cannot make a single post without insulting someone. Then you cry "bullying". I thought lefties were the snowflakes?

Why do you think Elon musk, one of the most successful and smart people in the world is only worthy of being a street cleaner?

Could it be that your brain has been corrupted by Marxist propaganda?

But how many times do yo have to see that people on here just aren't interested in listening to your opinions. I have said before that somethings you say are quite interesting, but mostly ignored by the way you put it and by some of your other outlandish claims.

Know your audience. That is all I can say.

This is a question I've asked quite often, why do have to put up with him? He seems to think it's his duty to reply to everything on behalf of everyone else. He quite often loses his temper and gets involved in childish name calling. I find his boorish behaviour quite tiresome, but in the end he has a right to post on here just like everyone else no matter how narrow his outlook is. I should put him on ignore but his responses to obvious leg pulling is amusing at least.
So yes, Loading is a bit of a brain washed bore but rough with the smooth eh? On the other hand Os is very entertaining, we should have more posters like him on here.

If only I didn’t see the punchline in the first line… yawn.
