Over a quarter of tory MPs are private landlords. Lots have links to the big house building cartels. It's in their interests to choke supply of decent new properties and flood the the market with cheap junk, pushing up rental prices and the value of Victorian and Edwardian townhouses - the nice stuff they own.
Property tycoons gave Tories more than £11m in less than a year

- Once had a court judge insisting I used imperial feet to describe distances between vehicles just before a car crash...microkorg
- ... I told him I was never taught inches/feet so couldn't make an estimate in case it was incorrect and was not accurate evidence...microkorg
- ... me as a cheeky c*nt teenager then suggested that as a Court Judge however that he should know both units or at least be able to convert. ;)microkorg
- Ha! Ha!monospaced
- This is a meagre change in the law to simply make it legal to state things in none- metric terms. That's it. Nothing more. Metric's going nowhere in UKNairn
- Every half-wit ultraEuro or moron is jumping on this like it's some ultimate affirmation of the stupidity of Brexit. Nope, it's just making things a bit freer.Nairn
- Do I want that extra freedom? Nope. I, like you, couldn't give a shit. Do I think it's improves things? Nope, not for me. Is it the apocalypse? Also, nope.Nairn
- For the record - we also never tried to metricise time.Nairn

Escalator falls have soared in Tube stations because passengers are too afraid to hold handrails over fears they could catch Covid
- But they're comfortable putting themselves inside a cramped, enclosed tube carriage? Says everything about general risk perceptionBaskerviIle
- I used to avoid that if I could before covid. Don't understand how anyone who's ever been in a public toilet at a train station does otherwise.Fax_Benson
- 'soared' = there's an observable statistical increase.
I touch everything in the tube. Sometimes with my tongue.Nairn
