There are plenty of people with notions on what we'd LIKE to do, but . . .

What we CAN do is send illegal immigrants back to their country of origin. International law requires countries to accept their own nationals returning to their country.

We are too soft - no wonder they all want to come here to be looked after.

I think now, to be on the safe side and to protect British citizens, we should just deport all Afghan Nationals. Start with them.

Including those that acted as interpreters for us, risking their lives helping our forces? Send them back to the Taliban?

They should be allowed to remain, definitely.

It was said with tongue planted in cheek, but my point remains the same.

BTW, was this murderer one of the Social care people, or doctor or engineer that you kept saying we need to welcome with open arms?

Typical, we’re supposed to trust her to run the country’s finances and she can’t even handle her own affairs. That’s the issue here.

It may look to be a minor transgression however, if it was you, I or Jo Bloggs that was found guilty of of such we would be looking at

a civil fine of up to £30,000, prosecution and an unlimited fine, a rent repayment order and being added to the national rogue landlord database

It wouldn’t have happened to Gordon Brown, that’s all I’m saying, the lack of serious political figures, on either side, is worrying.

To be fair, it was the local application of laws, which are another example of councils being vindictive. Forever charging money for not doing anything.
It only applied in certain areas, so would be less easy to be aware of. The licensing system was intended for HMOs, made up of flats and/or bedsits.

Starmer trying to sweep it under the carpet as usual


she has been campaigning for this law in other areas

as you say this is a serious breach of the law the local council should pursue it through the courts

[Carth]

She doesn't seem to be having much luck regarding houses . . . unless I'm mistaken and she's not the one recently in bother over a new house purchase in Brighton

oh well, how the other half live eh


edit: . . . just checked, I was mistaken, that was the other muppet, Rayner

MPs should not be landlords are this point. So many of them are, it's a conflict of interest when they're passing laws regulating landlords, and they keep getting into trouble over it.

She and Labour have passed tighter regulations so falling foul of them is pretty impressive.

It was indeed worth pointing out that if she can't run her own affairs, let alone lawfully, then she shouldn't be running the economy.

That said, when she moved into Downing Street, it was fair enough that she should let her own house (until she leaves office!), albeit overlooking a matter of detail that she might not have known about. But here agent should have known about it (assuming she had an agent), in which case pointing the finger is not unreasonable.

So what exactly, should MPs be allowed to own, buy, sell, or even do? A law exists connecting to almost everything.
It was local council decisions that created the issue, not national government. A licence wouldn't have been required if the property had been in a different area within the same council area.

The owner is still required to make sure that any agent has the required licence.

They should be allowed to do their actual job, they get paid well enough for that.

[OLD BOY]

This political ‘GOTCHA’ mentality is childish and must stop. They are behaving like infants.

Reeves actually asked about whether she needed a licence and was told she didn’t, so in the circumstances, she appears to be blameless.

What this actually shows is that we can all get caught out when even the professionals in the field are confused. The law is too complicated and it should be simplified rather than have more layers of complexity added.
