I don't know how the details work I just got it from here when looking if you can get a mortgage without a deposit.

Just stumbled across this.
Am I going crazy or is this David Cameron announcing almost exactly the same policy in 2015?
-
The change never happened – but a version of the idea popped up in David Cameron’s 2015 manifesto, only to be junked after an unsuccessful pilot in the West Midlands, which found that nothing like enough of the properties being sold off were being replaced with new stock – a red line for housing associations that were participating.

This is how I imagine the cabinet brainstorming session

I am glad the BBC in Ros Atkins and Dan Roan are tackling the LIV Golf Saudi sports washing exercise.

It has been good to see these golfers embarrassed by the questioning.
Why do Man City and Newcastle get a free pass though?
-
Yeah, thoroughly enjoyed the visual squirming from them on those questions yesterday.
It does seem like the golfing press are gunning for them. The Athletic wrote a good piece just begging them to stop parroting PR talking points and admit why they're really playing in this tournament; fuck loads of dirty cash.

If you’re on benefits how can you afford a mortgage.
I could, but I'm too busy paying my private landlord over the mortgage rate to be able to get near my own mortgage. Not only that, but also what Nationwide deem to be "affordable" is a shitty 2 bed flat in the wrong end of a newtown development. Or I can keep renting my little house in the green belt with a garden and off-road parking... I'm not trading down just to "own" my own shitty flat.
They just want to create some ‘winners’
Or they want to to create some losers - get those payments in only for the owners to eventually fail and the house to fall back to the bank to be sold again?

A jury has found that a woman driving a Range Rover smashed into a
cyclist after drinking Bacardi and Coke. Janice McVicar, 57, briefly
stopped in the middle of the road after the smash and attempted to
move a deployed airbag that got stuck under the windscreen, before
driving away…The cyclist, Jade Edmonds, who had taken up bike riding in order to get fit for her wedding, was left with significant injuries -
including brain damage and a partial loss of sight in one eye - and
needed intensive surgery…But, as McVicar’s GP concluded that she falls under the Disability
Act, she was given an absolute discharge from court without any time
in jail. Instead, her driving licence will be sent to the Secretary of
State to decide whether she will be disqualified.McVicar went on to make a number of unsolicited comments including: “I
didn’t think I was over the limit. I hate cyclists, I can’t stand
them. Some of them are stupid, aren’t they. I’ll sign anything, I
admit I’ve done it, I just want to go home.” -
Is her disability that she's clearly an utterly dangerous fuckbag?
McVicar was seen trying to move the airbags out of the way of the
windscreen before the man’s wife told her to reverse into a nearby
driveway, however McVicar carried on driving, going onto the wrong
side of the road before colliding with a parked car and rolling her
Range Rover onto its side.Ms Edmond’s suffered from a number of injuries including frontal brain
damage. She had to have her full face rebuilt during a gruelling nine
hour craniotomy surgery and has been left with a scar from ‘ear to
ear’.She also suffered from a broken femur, a broken wrist, damage to one
of her kidneys and she was left with 10 percent vision in her right
eye. -
Sochi was bad. As were the various Beijing events.

Sounds like your current situation is pretty idyllic
-
At least they were countries that had some history with the sports in question, plus some pre-existing infrastructure. You will not convince me that there has been a more ludicrous example of bringing a global sports event to a country with no reason (nor existing ability nor climatic suitability) to host it than Qatar.
-
I agree with you overall but just because Qatar don't have a decent league or international team doesn't mean football isn't a big deal there. It goes off when local teams play...it's an amazing experience to go to a match where the fans are jubilant but sober. It's the same in the UAE...small teams have partisan followings.
Of course, it still doesn't mean the World Cup should be hosted there.
-
Thinking about it, European Football is pretty huge in the Middle East too. You can't move without seeing Mo Salah selling something and everybody you meet seems to have a PL team they support.
-
I posted this on another thread about why golfists are taking dirty Saudi money
$40mil in gambling losses is some hole to fill.
-
The golf thing is self evident. The only reason you'd ever voluntarily endure playing it is because you're being paid millions. And maybe driving the cart is slightly fun the first time I guess

Wouldn’t it just get abused exactly the way it did the last time round?
Rich/shady and entities will move in on poor tenants like moths to a flame.
