Any chance of an answer to this jim ? Sure your boats going to be moored up for the next 5 or 6 months, room for two there. It wouldn't be legal to rent it out. I do a lot for others in other ways, what do you and the fat boater do? Empty talk. Why is there a housing crisis, tories not living up their promises by any chance, 300k houses a year? Who did you vote for? And you believed them? Andyberg , why don't you help your fellow hedge dwelling boaters, George and Tony. Easy enough to set up a charity. Thus far, you and Pulcinella are the only two I have ever come across that use the enema process regularly on your mouths. So much shit from the pair of ya. ππ

It's possible to be a socialist and a landlord, looking after tenants and the properties responsibly, without being greedy. As I said to Mr Stabby , would you rather a Riley or a Rachman as a landlord. He hushed up, I note. Anyway you're at confused.com today, who recommended others become landlords, it's not like you to twist posts for effect. I suggested Andy start a charity for hedge dwelling boaters that's all.

If I had the choice I'd prefer neither. No one should be able to profit from another person's fundamental need for a roof over their head ... but nobody put me in charge. Rog So what's the third option? Even as a confirmed socialist I can't honestly ever see that working, taken to it's logical conclusion there would be no interest on mortgages. Houses would all be free, who would be responsible for maintaining them. While some are happy to put work in on the houses they live in, some would let them go to rack and ruin. I'd be happy to reinstate the Rent Office, where the rent officer decrees the allowable rent and also it guarantees security of tenure, as long as tenants behave themselves. My mum was a secretary for the Rochdale Rent Officer, one of our houses came with a sitting tenant who had been born in the house had a Rent Office secure tenure inherited from his father, started 1955. He needed more support and maintenance than the house! As for ongoing maintenance, it's not just the bricks and mortar. While sorting a gas test a couple of weeks ago tenant told me oven grill wasn't working, got replacement ordered and fitted the other day. It's not all profit. Is your money in a bank, how does the bank earn the interest they pay you (some of). Things aren't as simple as you (or I for that matter) would wish.

Have you read 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' by Robert Tressell ?
As I said ... we can't start from here.

There is enough regulation and legislation on landlords at the moment, and many who invested in rental property for their retirement fund are now rueing their decision. The Rent Officer has now been replaced by the courts, and with a wily 'Human Rights' lawyer, the lazy grifters know they can continue in their idleness with two fingers stuck up. Local Government has abdicated its responsibility with regard to any social housing, and their sclerotic practices in administration do not keep up with what they have. A roofing job has scaffolding erected 2 weeks before the work starts, and is often up for a month or two afterwards. The local housing trust to me puts up many vacated properties for auction rather than reletting them, and many go to private buyers who do the work and sell, or rent out themselves. A company wholly owned by the local councilinvests in new property which is allegedly affordable with much of it occupied by immigrants on housing benefit whilst local people who have grown up here are ignored. Development companies are only given planning permission after agreeing to the provision of infrastructure improvements which should be the responsibility of local government, so they do not provide as much supply as they could in a fairer market. With regard to the broader picture, the economy has existed and grown on the back of private investment which generally works much better than nationalised industries. Whatever the current state of power, water and transport, it is vastly more efficient than their state owned predecessors.
Tin Hat ready for action.

"...many who invested in rental property for their retirement fund are now rueing their decision..." I'm guessing that includes you. While others invested wisely, buying probate sales (aka Pissy Houses) and other insalubrious properties, doing the hard graft themselves to return the hovels to a decent state, not getting over mortgaged as a means of getting a false income, overpaying on the mortgages too to reduce the debt risk. It's not rocket science. As for one of the comments, local authorities not investing in social housing - who was it stopped the reinvestment of council house sales to refresh the stock, can anyone remember... It couldn't just possibly have been a Tory, could it. You really couldn't make it up. Tin hats can be useful btw, an improvement on young andrew's wok. A more comfortable shape. Just don't forget to empty it before the incoming arrives.π

So answer the question Jim⦠What are you actually doing to help house these immigrants that you and your policymakers want the uk to house, apart from virtual signalling?

It's important that we all contribute in some way to society, can't do everything. Of course voting labour will help. What are you doing, apart from vice signalling with tit pics?
