If some of your plant and machinery were destroyed or worn out, would the local council compensate you by granting you a transferable planning permission worth £25,000? Methinks not.<br /><br />VF, Lola already alerted me to that, it is a load of sub-Thatcherite codswallop. Why sell off the valuable council housing? All that is is a free gift to the bankers who can know collect the rental value via mortgage interest ad infinitum.<br /><br />Far better to bump up the rents and use the surplus to build new council housing, which overall would make a profit anyway. <br /><br />For sure, that means an exodus of the unemployed from central London to the new council housing further out, but so what? That would happen if it were sold off as well so is not an argument.<br /><br />B, I suppose so, they look after their own.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-89377719565557282892014-01-03T12:57:52.923+00:002014-01-03T12:57:52.923+00:00"Why the council should bestow this right on ..."Why the council should bestow this right on whoever owns the land at the time it tumbles into the sea rather than to anybody else is unclear"<br /><br />Because, just as the one ring in the "Lord of the Rings" conveys immortality to the wearer, however short a time they wear it, owning land admits you to the chosen race of landowners for however short a time you own that land.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-35886206788040300932014-01-03T12:34:16.668+00:002014-01-03T12:34:16.668+00:00Happy New Year, Mark , here's one to get your ...Happy New Year, Mark , here's one to get your teeth into to start the year! <br /><br />http://paulkirby.net/2013/12/31/a-simple-idea-to-sort-out-the-housing-market-and-make-the-economy-boom-for-the-next-5-years/Voteforhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232084956094725089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-84435423562434028612014-01-03T12:17:04.921+00:002014-01-03T12:17:04.921+00:00In it's simplest form it is the transferable r...In it's simplest form it is the transferable right of greed. Of course our dumb ass media talk about the house being for sale, which really is about as dumb as it gets. Living on that/this part of the coast, leads me every time to wonder why it is insisted that we try and hold back the tide. There are many commercial interests always at threat on this part of the coast. But I made sure mine was put way above the highest tide level. But should I make some other crass decision that puts my business in jeopardy will I be bailed out with rights of transferable greed ? Not fooking likely, but I am a realist, so instead I just get on with it. As for the buyer of the £25,000 cliff top retreat, he/she {greed is not gender specific in my book} will rub his/her hands with glee. {S}He'll pay a lot more than £25,000 though; those insolvency practitioners were not dumb ass when they garnered the publicity. So what does this tell us ? every one is shafting every one..... bend over patient, you're next in the queue..... ageing manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913665856316754730noreply@blogger.com
