  1. In the private rented sector, indeed! That looks a sizable house and likely a nice earner for sale. There are no such issues in council/housing association houses where you can live in the same house for your life and the rent is controlled too.

  2.  @mihaimoroi6291  Whoosh!

  3. If only there was some method of grouping countries together so that you could cross borders and work in any of them without a work visa....you could even create a common currency to make it easier. Why has nobody thought of that?

  4. Isn't it bizarre that in the 21st Century we still have separate tribes called countries. Think of what could be achieved if tribalism wasn't a thing and humanity had a common set of objectives. It's unfortunate that the "elites" selfishly block such progress by purposely using conflict to prevent it.

  5. RCN have stated that the average is 34k, something many people would be very happy with!

  6. I'd rather the police officer found the legal guardian and then conducted the search.
    7
  7.  @enochpowellslibrarian5595  Neither do most of those strip searched.
    6
  8. Would you like to try that again, but in English?
    6
  9. Blame high interest rates.

  10. "Why, how even do you stand up in a court under oath and "admit" to something you haven't done? I'm obviously missing something." You aren't under oath when entering a plea.

  11. How did you raise a deposit in four years when you were also paying rent?
    5
  12.  @BabyAndlou  It got to that level due to them not cleaning it. I've cleaned that sort of level and kept on top of it.
    5
  13.  @davidlamb7524  "Do you think it was good advice to plead guilty ?" When faced with a custodial sentence, yes. There are many an innocent person rotting in prisons due to their principles.
    5
  14.  @davidlamb7524  Regardless, the outcome is the same whether you enter a guilty or innocent plea, you still have a criminal record when found guilty and in this case you WILL be found guilty as others have. By taking the deal you haven't been locked in a box 23 hours a day for 3-5 years. I'd rather be guilty on the outside than be guilty locked in a box.

  15. Once she got the court order she is a priority on a council waiting list. That is clearly her plan hence why she sat in the property until the court order came through. She will now get a rent controlled housing association house in London where "average" working people can't afford a house to buy. Not bad eh?

  16. That prison leaks like a sieve. This one is genius: "Wandsworth prisoner Neil Moore, 28, used an illicit mobile phone to create a fake email account to send bail instructions to the prison staff. He was released on 10 March 2014 and his deception was only uncovered when solicitors went to interview him three days later, only to find him gone."

  17. Mould can be controlled by the occupant. The issue is that people think it is just cosmetic damage so don't bother. Keep on top of it until the underlying damp issue can be sorted. Plenty of videos on mould control. An LCD hydrometer is only a tenner from your favourite shopping site. In my case it is caused by the chimney, probably needs pointing and the lead flashing sorted.

  18. "11 accusations of abuse and he's still a serving officer?" From how many accusers? 11 or 1? Context matters! It could be a serial accuser and the allegations are without merit. It could be that more effective officers are the ones that receive most complaints from criminals who use the system to get back at the officer. Let's not convict people on social media without ALL the facts to hand.
    4
  19. Yeah I am sure she is loaded and could afford to pay rent and save for a deposit...
    4
  20. Yeah because when all your available income goes on rent it is obviously easy to save for a deposit...oh wait.
    4
  21. Shame on anyone not defending a persons right to being considered innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. How do you know the women are not lying?

  22. Over half had no further action. Do you suggest that "chav" children should be strip searched simply for not being wealthy?
    3
  23.  @user.0704  So? Do you suggest that "chav" children should be strip searched simply for not being wealthy?
    3
  24.  @user.0704  A 50% FAILURE rate is not. It is bizarre that you believe the police should flip a coin and randomly strip search law abiding citizens.
    3
  25.  @user.0704  Again you miss the point, a 50% failure rate means that their "reason" was nonsense and therefore the strip was illegal. Statistically the failure rate should be MUCH lower.
    3
  26. According to the RCN the average is 34k. Not bad at all.
    3
  27. People rent as they are unable to get a deposit together to buy a house. It isn't generally a choice, they rent and then can't afford to save for a deposit because they rent. Chicken and egg.
    3
  28. At some point you have to realise that you can't afford where you want to live and do something about it.
    3
  29.  @liam-james  She needs the court order as it forces the local authority to provide shelter. Criticise the SYSTEM not this person who is merely a victim of it.
    3
  30. Calculating loss of earnings and pension contributions should be fairly straightforward. Add to that the loss of equity in the home she likely had to sell, plus a bunch of interest on savings she lost etc. Just don't use the Horizon system to make the calculations...
    3
  31. So we should strip search everybody then, you know, because it saves lives?
    3
  32.  @rickydaley3347  You are saying that people should be profiled. I am pointing out the ridiculousness of being profiled based on how you look. Since over 50% had no further action, then the success rate was no more than chance, a flip of the coin. So much for profiling then, that is how silly your suggestion is. How about instead using powers of investigation instead? Like, you know, how the police used to catch criminals?
    3
  33.  @rickydaley3347  What is difficult to understand?
    3
  34. @pros3304 How is Brexit to blame for the housing crisis in France and Germany? I'm no tory but can you tell me what massive house building program was done during the last Labour Government? If you believe that Labour are going to be any different, then you are going to be very disappointed.
    3
  35.  @jjefferyworboys8138  Except they arrested protesters that had been given permission to be there. When a mobile phone strap is now used as a suspicion of committing an offence to arrest somebody, you should be worried. What on Earth do you think the concerns are about? That is a very dangerous slippery slope. What next? Arrested for wearing a loud shirt in a built up area?
    3
  36. Why assume it was men?
    3
  37. With what? The money from the money tree she has growing in the garden?
    3
  38. A kitchen porter doesn't get annual pay increases within a band, 30+ days holiday, generous sick pay, NHS discounts, plenty of training and opportunities to jump up a pay band and a good pension. After a few years that porter will not be on the average 34k that a nurse is, not including the overtime, so 40k.
    3
  39.  @ony583  The new Met Commissioner is a politician. He is saying what YOU want to hear.
    3
  40.  @myliinhv  Then leave!
    3
  41. But, but, this is now a New Labour....oh wait.
    3
  42. Oh, how quickly people forget how Labour was a disaster for the NHS. As for Brexit, if you allow freedom of movement, it drives nurses' wages down due to greater numbers of cheaper labour!
    3
  43. What has studying harder got to do with the housing crisis?
    3
  44. You need a large deposit to buy a house. When all your available cash goes on rent and utility bills, where does the spare cash for a deposit come from?
    3
  45. A couple of years wouldn't get her a deposit.
    3
  46.  @jjefferyworboys8138  Except if it is determined that there was insufficient grounds for suspicion.

  47. Two bedroom Housing Association house up north. 400 pcm.
    3
  48.  @jjefferyworboys8138  Of course an apology is necessary for throwing them in a cell.
    3
  49.  @jjefferyworboys8138  Because other "ordinary people" shouldn't protest over something they feel strongly about?
    3
  50. Indeed and people were jailed without trial.
    2
  51. People owning property and charging whatever they want for rent is not "corruption". It is nothing to do with governments what private individuals charge for rent, they should stay out of it. A lack of housing stock is everything to do with government and the solution is right there, start building.
    2
  52. LOL indeed. Replacing a plastic pipe isn't rocket science!
    2
  53.  @michaelclifford6468  "state funding of political parties" The state funding extremism, what a genius idea! Or is it only parties on your "approved list" that get funding? "compulsory voting" Absolutely not, that is not democratic. What a ridiculous idea.
    2
  54. What prison sentence? It was a civil trial and the allegations have not been proved to be true!
    2
  55. Deposits don't grow on trees.

  56.  @jjefferyworboys8138  "Within the law" This whole thing has gone way over your head.

  57. He did a deal with her. Now he pays the price for his idi0cy. First day in the job and his integrity is damaged, what a m0r0n.
    2
  58. Not if they join NATO, that is the point of them and Sweden considering it. Had the Ukraine joined NATO when they had the chance years ago, they would not have been invaded by Russia.
    2
  59. Yeah because saving for a deposit while also paying the rent is a thing!
    2
  60.  @Tayloraurrekoetxea  "considering how incredibly rare false allegations are" No they aren't. Ask a police officer. That is an incredibly naïve comment.
    2
  61.  @s.a.y4117  Plus overtime etc etc. The RCN state the average is 34k.
    2
  62.  @user.0704  "The police don't strip search for no reason" You haven't read the report then. Half of these CHILDREN had no further action taken against them. 50% means a success rate no better than had they flipped a coin, in other words, the "reason" was invalid and simply made up.
    2
  63. An average of 34k isn't bad at all too many people. Plus all that overtime and 30+days holiday. The average would be raking in 40 grand.
    2
  64.  riyadougla539  "London has the most to offer in the UK." Because you know all about what every other city and town offers, oh wait no, you are talking b0ll0x.
    2
  65. 53% were no further action. That is a huge number to get "wrong" and suggests that reasonable cause is being overused as an excuse to stop and search, which we all suspect is the case anyway when dealing with the police abusing their powers. 53% means they'd have equal success just by flipping a coin and randomly stopping people walking past them. It is not a "complex issue", it is merely a scattergun approach rather than using an intelligence led targeted one.
    2
  66.  @robertcarter4423  It is for those far clever that I to decide what intelligence led policing should be put in place, it clearly isn't in place at the moment, it is no better than simple chance!
    2
  67.  @adrianthoroughgood1191  A success rate of 50% is no better than chance. That is not intelligent policing, it is flipping a coin.
    2
  68. Generally agree with you on r@cism, however with the Met I tend to believe their bad press. In 2018, 75% of those stripped were bl@ck when only 19% of the population aged 10- to 17 in that policing area are. Pretty difficult to argue that isn't about r@ce, the percentage of non-bl@ck should be MUCH higher.
    2
  69. Imagine not knowing that you need to save a minimum of 40k and then be in full employment with two incomes.
    2
  70. @Lee Ohh The average pay of a nurse is already 34k and that does not include generous overtime, so it will be around your 40k!
    2
  71. @caravan stuff Perhaps the police should have arrested themselves as they are a proven danger to the women there? I mean we are talking what could have happened, yes?
    2
  72. Some of that is clearly damp penetrating the walls. That is absolutely a building maintenance issue.
    2
  73. "Bad legal advice." Her stark reality was: 1. Admit guilt, walk away free with a criminal record. 2. Be found guilty (an absolute certainty). Be locked in a concrete room 23 hours a day for the next 3-5 years, and still have the same criminal record on release. Added on top the trauma of being torn away from friends and family. You think she was given bad legal advice? Hope you aren't a barrister!
    2
  74. You don't mention what he was arrested for.
    2
  75.  @TitanMind1  Possibly, but not mentioning the reason is suspect.
    2
  76. I worked at a hospital when the government had the great idea of being businesspeople in as department managers rather than clinical staff doing it themselves. They created these expensive roles where every department got a "Business Manager" regardless of the size of department Yup, that's right, we had many departments of less than a handful of staff, each with its own Business Manager. I kid you not, I personally knew a nurse who had her very own personal Business Manager!

  78.  @rickydaley3347  Ginger people should be strip searched because ginger people carry knives?
    2
  79.  @rickydaley3347  Read your own comments, YOU said profiled. You completely miss the point that you would get the same success rate merely by flipping a coin. That is not intelligent policing, it is random chance. You may as well randomly stop people in the street and strip search them.
    2
  80.  @rickydaley3347  Nice bit of whataboutery. Perhaps we should all be strip searched as we leave our homes just in case, right?
    2
  81. It is no different to the rest of the World. Were there enough evidence then the state would bring charges and go to a criminal trial. Her going for a civil trial suggests the evidence, if any, was not credible. The only difference with the US is that there are plenty of vulture lawyers who will take a civil case such as this knowing that they could get a settlement without having to step foot in a courtroom.
    2
  82. When you are paying rent and likely living from pay day to pay day, what exactly is left to save?
    2
  83. @Wendy Adams "Keep your views to yourselves like most of us do." Irony right there.
    2
  84.  @woden3894  "Developers are forced to make 20% of UK housing affordable." If only that were true. The rent is based on the value of the new build property so hardly affordable!

  85. @Lauren Lewis You missed the point that half of them did not, "walk round with knives, guns and drugs with NO accountability". That child could have been YOUR child.

  89. What would being in or out of NATO matter? The Finnish border is with Russia regardless. If Russia does not "feel safe" then it hasn't since WWII. Your point is ridiculously irrelevant, Ivan. Finland granted asylum to Jews and had Jewish soldiers serving in its armed forces. You also failed to mention that Russia and the Nazis were allies in WWII, how convenient!
    2
  90.  @ony583  The position of Met Commissioner is a POLITICAL one not a policing one. You are literally believing a politician who has been brought in to placate people like you, by saying all the "right" things. Are you really THAT gullible?
    2
  91.  @ony583  You really believe anybody will read all that?

  92. The Fins do want to join, keep up with the news, Ivan.

  93. I've never quite figured out why government can't build houses and pay for them over 25 years using the benefits they would usually give to private landlords. Unless of course those in power are landlords themselves...

  94. "25k during pandemic" Consider yourself lucky, many got nowhere near that.
    2
  95. Are you suggesting that "young kids" should not be free to step out of their homes without being strip searched? Would you be happy if your 10 year old daughter was strip searched merely for being a "young kid"? Rather than randomly stopping children wouldn't a better solution be to target the adults, you know, by using actual police work? But that's too much work I guess, the police would have to have some intelligence to do it.
    2
  96. People don't have the money for a deposit so they have to rent, meaning that they never get the chance to save for a deposit. Vicious circle.

  97.  @worfoz  modest too!

  98. I read that she gets a pay-out and HER charity gets one. The question being how much actually ends up with victims...

  99. Tells me that she was in it for the money and the evidence was very weak.
    2
  100. It is social housing that is required. That would not affect house prices, but it would drive down rent costs in the private sector, so no bad thing there! It is not hard to build for the reason you stated, there is simply no political will to spend the capital costs of building social housing.
    2
  101. Your "right" to turn up and enjoy your day does not trump another's "right" to protest. The police should be there to ensure that BOTH groups enjoy their day.

  103. Mould around and behind radiators is VERY common. Condensation and warmth of the radiator is a breeding ground for mould.

  104. I feel for those in Russia who have been arrested and beaten, maybe even disappeared, for protesting. They are incredibly brave to do so knowing the consequences.
    2
  105. Because paying rent means you have nothing left to save for a huge deposit?

  107. Then go after the adult dealers rather than criminalising the unlimited supply of kids being used by them. Not rocket science, is it?
    1
  108.  @jameswatters9592  It is no surprise that you miss the point. You target the adults not the children and you do that through intelligence led policing not random ineffective stops that give children a criminal record.

  109. The reason the BoE were given it was because of past governments destroying the economy. If you think now is bad, you haven't lived long enough.

  110. What a great idea. Criminals simply keep accusing each officer until there are none left. You haven't thought that through have you. Without evidence, an accusation is just that, an accusation. Police officers will receive LOTS of complaints from criminals trying to play the system. Get a grip.

  119.  @michaelcooreman3509  You might want to direct your blame at the local government, it is them preventing you from getting a cheap house.
    1
  120.  @michaelcooreman3509  The point I am making is that it is LOCAL government that set the priorities on who gets local housing, not central government. It was your own local council that was housing immigrants before offering one to you. The very same issues exist now, local people being pushed to the bottom of the queue in favour of immigrants who are given priority.

Water is penetrating the brick or leaking through the building structure due to a poor roof.

  155.  @danbatesy5492  When 50% are innocent, they have a point about being targeted due to r@ce. Intelligence led searches would greatly increase the ratio of those found to be carrying vs those not. It is difficult to pull a r@ce card when found carrying.

  156.  @danbatesy5492  Flipping a coin is no way to do policing and invade peoples privacy. You are literally saying the police should be able to go around strip searching citizens just when they feel like it. THAT IS BIZZARE How about they search your house just in case?
    1
  157.  @danbatesy5492  You are advocating for people going about their lawful business to be randomly strip searched "just-in-case". Where does the line get drawn? Why can't they then search your home "just-in-case", nothing wrong with that, right? What have you got to hide? They will find loads of drugs, weapons and stolen items in random home searches. It is the same argument you are using.

  176. "They succeeded with Brexit and it has clearly gravely damaged the UK no matter what anyone says or thinks. " That depends on who you are. Due to the shortage of imported EU workers I know people who got jobs off the back of Brexit. It isn't as bl@ck or wh!te as you suggest.

  177.  @deelawdazhahs1078  If you speak to people who directly benefit from Brexit you may learn something of why they voted for it. They aren't stup!d, or gammons or the r@cists they are made out to be. These people don't give a stuff about the size of the economy being 5% smaller, they want a job and bread on the table. These people have been prevented from getting jobs due to cheap EU labour that only benefits owners of companies and lazy NHS managers who can't be bothered to train UK citizens. I am fortunate not to be one of these people competing with cheap imported labour, but I do understand them.

  181. Whatever you think of him, he is a war veteran. During the Falklands War, he was a Sea King pilot, he did anti-surface warfare and acted as Exocet missile decoy, literally putting the aircraft into the path of incoming missiles and deploying chaff. He rescued survivors from the Atlantic Conveyor when it was hit and sinking.

  182. Saving while paying rent and utilities is simply not possible for many. Even if they scrape together a meagre deposit over 10 years then they have to have an excellent credit history and prove they have the means to pay a mortgage.
    1
  183.  @vegasmitch1472  A few years? You mean 10 and you missed the point about still not being able to get a mortgage if having a poor credit history or not passing the affordability test. It is not as simple as you believe it to be.

  200.  @enochpowell8607  Why assume that a person is not already working hard? Why assume they have money to waste? People literally have zero money to save for a deposit.
    1
  201.  @enochpowell8607  You know nothing about people who can't afford to save for a deposit. All you are offering up are stereotypes. There are plenty of working people trapped in rented accommodation that have zero savings as every penny goes on basic essentials. Their rent makes it impossible to save for a deposit.

  205. Great, give 17% to over 300,000 people. Then watch inflation shoot up, wiping out the income of EVERY working person in the UK. You're a genius!
    1
  206.  @marywood8794  Great do it, then watch EVERYBODY including nurses lose money due to inflation. Let's push up inflation and increase borrowing rates so nurses mortgage payments shoot up as a result and we all pay higher taxes to pay off national debt at higher rates. The economy is clearly not your strong point. Higher pay today will have a NEGATIVE effect on nurses' overall earnings.
    1
  207.  @marywood8794  What on Earth are you on about? Which bit of EVERYBODY including NURSES lose more money than they gain due to the effect this would have on inflation?
    1
  208.  @marywood8794  It is paying what they are worth. RCN stated the average is 34K, on top of that they get very generous overtime, so more like 40K. They get 30+ days holiday, generous sick-pay and a bunch of other benefits, like good pension. The UK average wage for a person is 38K without all the additional benefits NHS workers get.

  215.  @johnnynick3621  "When you discourage one-third of the real estate investors you REDUCE the new supply of money into building new homes, thereby REDUCING the supply of new homes thereby INCREASING the cost of buying a home, new OR used. " Utter nonsense. These are investors who are not building new homes, they are purchasing existing houses that would usually be bought by people wanting to buy a home. Being cash buyers they are able to secure houses easily compared to a family with a deposit as a cash buyer is more attractive than somebody with a LTV. Developers build houses to SELL not rent, developers are not these people, developers are not buying old houses to rent and are a completely different market to these landlords in the rental sector. I don't agree with forcing landlords to sell, but it would absolutely and instantly increase housing availability to those wishing to buy, of course it would. Suggesting anything otherwise is naïve and silly. You clearly have no idea about the UK market.

  231.  @ganesha7674  Most civil cases are settled, there is no admission of guilt and they have both agreed to pay their own legal costs. You settle to avoid a vastly more expensive trial which exposes your private life to the media circus. Not hard to understand. The real question is why SHE settled if her evidence was credible? In other words, it isn't! Do you have any evidence for your allegation or not?

    1
  242.  @roncatton7101  It is the Queens Jubilee year, it is a major celebration planned for the UK. It is why the trial was cynically timed by her lawyers to coincide with it. That is likely one of the main reasons he paid her off, nothing to do with innocence or guilt. Another reason would simply be that he does not want his private life subject to the a US media circus for months. Not hard to figure out, is it? I'd pay her off.

  243.  @roncatton7101  What excuse? It is possible explanations for his actions. There is no admission of guilt. English not your strong point?

  245.  @roncatton7101  No. I make no claim of guilt or innocent, you are, hence the question you have tried to dodge. What abuse? Do you have evidence?

  259.  @m1leswilliams  The OPs comment was about joining, there was no mention of timing. Ukraine have not been in a position to join NATO even if they wanted to. You have to meet the criteria of a Membership Action Plan. It can take 5-20 years as it has done so for other recent members. The reason why Finland and Sweden would be able to join quickly are the very reasons why Ukraine can not.

  276.  @JohnDoe-wb9ht  The workload is variable, hence the use of agency staff at busier periods. You don't plan permanent staffing levels around the peak levels of workload, you use the median point and fill in with agency.

  284. Prefabricated houses has been a thing since WWII. That isn't the issue though, it is land to build them and planning restrictions such as Green Belt. Of course developers also have no interest in prefab houses as there is little profit to be had. The solutions are simple, the political desire is not there because MPs are either landlords or in the developers pocket.

  326. "if nursing is so highly paid and cushy, why aren't more people applying to work in this obviously extremely lucrative (s) field" Because they insist on it being years doing a university degree, which only college leavers who don't have to pay the rent and actually go to work can take time out to do. You shouldn't need a university degree to be a nurse as it shuts the door on those that can't give up work for a couple of years. There are literally highly experienced care assistants working in the NHS with WAY more knowledge than nurses who simply cannot afford to become a nurse. You can blame the unions and idi0ts in the RCN for putting those blocks in place.

  330.  @django3422  You miss the point, she can't afford to live now where she is. There are plenty of unfilled vacancies for minimum paid work. She can apply in any part of the country, companies are desperate and will help relocate people. Other than cost there is zero difference between looking for a rented house in London and looking for one elsewhere in the country, you still have to move your stuff whichever it is you move into!
    1
  331.  @django3422  What is it you fail to understand here? There is literally ZERO difference between getting a rented house in London and anywhere else apart from it being cheaper and easier outside the M25. She faces the exact same problems moving from A to B.
    1
  332.  @django3422  I have, it is bizarre that you don't understand something so simple. She has to move from A to B, so simply move further to avoid high rents and have more availability! It really is THAT simple.
    1
  333.  @django3422  How are you missing this? SHE HAS TO MOVE SHE HAS NO CHOICE So because she HAS TO MOVE REGARDLESS move further away and you will pay less and have more chance of securing a rented property. Jesus, it's not rocket science!
    1
  334.  @django3422  Of course she can afford to move, she is having to now. What do you think she is going to do, leave all her stuff in that house? She is literally moving! Had she planned months ahead she could have been moving to a cheaper part of the country, but no, she wanted to stay in the most expensive part when she is on minimum wage and now she expects the tax payer to give her a house. She is playing the system, the council will only rehome you when you have a court order evicting you, that is why she waited, she WANTED the court order, she NEEDED it. Had she moved before that then she would not get council assistance. Understand the system and why people do what they do before you comment.
    1
  335.  @django3422  No you repeatedly miss the point and I now believe it is intentional because nobody is that silly. She can afford to move OUT OF LONDON but she doesn't want to. She has clearly been advised to sit and wait for the court order to get priority for a council property. What she is doing is not rocket science.

  336.  @django3422  It is as clear as day what she is doing.

  341. You could say the same for her. Why did she accept a bribe if her evidence was strong? She claimed not to be interested in the money and that she was doing it for the victims. Then took money.

  344. A complaint has to be made to the police first. If there is one, they will investigate!

  345. It will likely be the cost of maintaining the property. The landlord is soon to be required to make the property EPC C rating, which will cost tens of thousands. Better to sell it now. Blame the Government not the landlord!

  356. Smelling cannabis is the excuse used as it can not be later proven that she was not smelling of it. You are obviously naïve to the methods the police use to get reasonable grounds for a search, smelling cannabis is absolutely one of them.
    1
  357.  @jimthompson9370  They didn't smell cannabis. They said they did It is what they do and why you are so naïve not knowing how the police operate.

  358.  @jimthompson9370  It is not against the law to smell of Cannabis It is bizarre that I have to point this out to you.
    1
  359.  @jimthompson9370  Wrong. The Met themselves and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, say that the smell of cannabis is not good grounds for a normal stop and search never mind a strip search.

  378. A civil case being settled has nothing to do with potential criminal charges based on what Maxwell may say to reduce her sentence. Civil and criminal trials are two completely separate things with differing levels of burden of proof. It is likely that he settled simply to prevent embarrassment to is mother, the Queen, during her jubilee celebration year. It is far cheaper to end it now than go to trial and it means your private life is not exposed to media vultures. Not hard to figure out that it is common sense to pay-out rather than risk an unknown outcome due to trial by media..

  383.  @borjator2996  What evidence do you have that he was, "partying with condemned pedophiles"? The claim is that he went to break off the friendship, so what? He had a photo taken with her. So? Neither of your claims are illegal.

  384.  @borjator2996  So? You said he should go to jail. What for?

  387. "I once saw a piece of bowel and a surgical instrument thrown at a nurse!" What happened when you reported it?

  388. 53% of them led to no further action, meaning their reasonable suspicion for a search was NOT "warranted". 53% is no more than chance, you may as well flip a coin and do random searches, that is how ineffective they are being.

  389. That is a HMO, something the landlord would object to.

  394.  @margaretzoheir4468  RCN say the average is 34k. They will be pulling in 40k with overtime. They also get 30+ days holiday and a decent pension. 17% would massively increase inflation meaning EVERYBODY having their pay cut as a result.

  395. That is her plan. You have to wait for the court order and then you become a priority. Of course they don't tell you that in this video!

  396. Putin's only interest is east Ukraine, he has no interest in invading a NATO country, no interest in Finland or Sweden and certainly no interest in nuclear conflict. The Ukraine regions have always been his target since his KGB days. He tried and failed steamrollering the Ukrainian forces in the north so will consolidate the land bridge to the Crimean and occupy the eastern regions in dispute to "save" the Russians living there. He will then call that a victory to his people when we all know it was an utter failure. He is clearly looking for a way out of the conflict and saving face. It has been a dismal showing of force from his "mighty" armies. NATO must be laughing at Russia right now.

  401. Yes, independent ones. My HA sent an inspector every year. They weren't interested in it needing repairs, all they wanted to know is if the tenant had damaged it. Nothing was done about the repairs that I needed, including the cause of the severe mould, I was left to continuously clean and paint it myself.

  412. The damp is not easily rectified as the plaster is continuously damp and will continue to be until the source of damp penetrating the walls is resolved. Scrupulous continuous cleaning is indeed required. You'll be wasting your time with a dehumidifier as the damp plaster will remain as long as it is raining and cold, it also uses vast amounts of electricity that would be better used to heat the home! Unfortunately, people from other climates will likely not understand the mechanics of damp and certainly not the dangers of it. Most people in the UK are as ignorant and don't either.
    1
  413.  @rayfinkle8860  There will be leaks. It is obvious from the position of the damp that it is caused by leaks and not lack of ventilation (apart from the speckling on the bathroom celling). Of course, there does not have to be a leak at all. Soaking wet outer walls causes damp to permeate through brick to the plaster. You also get bridging causing damp in blocks of flats with cavity walls. This is absolutely a building maintenance issue and not a ventilation one. Seen it, dealt with it! What are councils to do? Fix it! You are correct in that the occupier should have been on top of cleaning it though.
    1
  414. @ Mirek Šlechta You don't understand the basic fundamental concept of NATO. An attack on one member is an attack on ALL members. It is why the USSR never dared to attack and it is why Russia will never dare to attack. Finland and Sweden joining NATO secures their borders from Putin.
    1
  415. In 2018, 75% of those stripped were bl@ck when only 19% of the population aged 10- to 17 in that policing area are. The figures suggest it is r@cism as it is disproportionate to the non-bl@ck 10-17 age range.

  416.  @stonehengemaca  They are correct and it is Greater London, i.e The Met.

  420. At some point you have to face the reality of moving out of London.

  421.  @mladeau2105  Only 5k? You'll save far more than that by moving. Like many trying to live in London, I'm afraid you remain in denial.
    1
  422.  @mladeau2105  You have told me your finances in your first comment. You are living somewhere that is unaffordable, you have one salary, you are living in only one room as a result and would need two jobs to get anything more than the one room you have and that is a slum. YOU told me everything I need to know about your situation, moving is the solution, but you want to live in London and are living in denial about what the actual solution to your problem is.
    1
  423. Because they are giving out deposits like confetti!

  424. What has your comment got to do with the video?

  425. I would argue that the average of 34k plus overtime is a decent living to most!

  426. Ukraine isn't a member of NATO, so no, they were not meant to take any action.
    1
  427. This is a valid point. Hence why it is important to open windows to ventilate. Most people don't realise that (if possible) you can hang washing out on cold dry days, it doesn't need to be sunny. It saves a fortune on machine drying!

  430.  @coolcat6103  Indeed, when buying my first home I was up against cash buyers due to all the Buy To Let parasites. After six months I eventually ended up paying way over asking to outbid them. Dealing with the same Estate Agents for six months meant I got to know them and the prices of houses I'd missed out on, so I know that I wasn't bidding low, the sellers simply chose the cash buyers, hence why I had to offer a ridiculous amount in the end. Even getting a viewing was a problem, if you did not phone the Agent within 30 minutes of it being advertised you couldn't even view a house, it was insane and this is the North, not London!

  431. The RCN state the average is 34k, plus of course the overtime and better conditions of employment compared to the average pay of a UK worker at 38k.

  455. RCN themselves say the average for a nurse is 34k.

  456. Numerous reasons. To save your 95 year old mother embarrassment during her jubilee celebrations. To not air your private life on American TV. To save money, it is cheaper to settle that go to trial. The actual question is, why did she take the money if her evidence was credible? She claimed that she wanted a trial and was doing it for the victims. She lied. So what else has she lied about?
    1
  457. Indeed, being around hospitals a lot due to both parents' ill-health was a real eye-opening experience for me. The nursing staff spent much of their time actively avoiding doing anything, it was the health care assistants running the wards. The nurses only appeared to open the drugs cabinet. The nursing station was the gathering place where they appeared to have endless meetings about meetings.

  473.  @thisismetoday  It'll go just fine when British people have the opportunity.
    1
  474.  @thisismetoday  The reason why there are so few training opportunities is due to the NHS employing foreign labour.

  475.  @thisismetoday  What has any of my comments got to do with hating foreigners? Even today Labour leader Keir Starmer has coincidentally said the same, train British people rather than rely on foreign labour.

  478.  @jennid1573  Average UK salary is 38k, nurses on 34k with overtime and their job security plus excellent conditions of employment are doing very nicely in comparison.
