Stuart - I am not blaming the immigrants, but just look at the numbers and you'll see that they don't add up ! More affordable homes? I've already explained why Councils don't want to build them and also why Private Builders don't want to build them. Great soundbite 'Affordable Homes' but the financial reality of supplying them has to be taken into account. Then why mention it in isolation without adding other factors such as house building targets being enforced by regulation, setting economic conditions, helping with stamp duty or other financial assistance to builders, landowners, buyers and mortgage lenders, encouraging under occupancy to downsize and even that people are thankfully living longer. There are many factors of which immigration is one, all of which the government of the day can have influence with. |

You have explained nothing. Just stated your un - quantified opinion I showed you how the p&l works. I know how P&L works. Unfortunately, building 'affordable homes' doesn't work for local councils nor private builders. If they made a profit building 'affordable homes' then they'd bloody well build them wouldn't they ! Do the P&L on it. Copy mine and amend if that helps you make your point |

The simple fact is that these 'affordable houses' are not being built, so the 'P&L' outlook is probably not that good eh? This ain't rocket science now is it! 25 rip roaring years in the City you say? |

new headline Tory policy to be announced at the manifesto launch I've watched this about four times, and just where is there a racist comment? Maybe I missed it? "Dogs in Germany need to be licensed and are subject to a 'Hundesteuer', meaning 'dog tax'. Most European countries scrapped the dog tax in the 20th century but Germany still stubbornly refuses to change the law. This is possibly because the dog tax is big business in Germany; in Berlin alone, dog owners paid €11 million in 'dog tax' last year. Dog owners pay a lot more dog tax per animal if they have multiple dogs. This is because the aim of the tax is to keep dog ownership down." Depending on the breed of dog it can be anything from 24 to 100 euro per year for a dog. |

Man of the people etc.

To be honest I don't think Johnson is interested in dog poo in the park. I'm not sure what you expect from him in these situations. |

Here is Dawn Butler this morning giving an interview that ranks right up there with Dianne Abbott as a mighty car crash interview. According to Dawn, in 2007 her constituency had 3,000 rough sleepers. 5m in cash sorted this out.....Under Labour. Now her constituency has 248 rough sleepers, and it's all the fault of those nasty Tories. In 2017 there were 4751 rough sleepers across the whole of Britain. Um....err......3,000 under Labour and now 248 under the Tories. Seems like a mighty improvement to me ! Dawn Butler |

This ain't rocket science now is it! 25 rip roaring years in the City you say? It was actually based upon new build costs in 2007 and doubled, so conservative. Depreciation was standard straight line (accounting principles) and rent based upon my knowledge of rents as an elected official updated to 2019 by an assumed inflation and taken as a non London average. Yours. Zip, zero, nuffink. Just your completely unfounded opinion. |

I will be voting Lib Dem on the basis that I refuse to vote for an incompetent, entitled, idiot or an incompetent idiot. Not sure about Swinson, but voting for revoke as a protest vote. |

Enough. You are exposed, just leave it there. Ha, ha, and your back of the fag packet calculations are gospel eh? You're having a laugh. You didn't answer the question though. If building council homes and affordable homes make a profit (according to you) then why are they not being built? Not a difficult question I would have thought for a man of your calibre. |

in other news Boris speaks/blurts something out
Has Boris Johnson just accidentally revealed his big election tax pledge?
It sounds like it.
Mr Johnson was asked an awkward question about whether tax cuts would be for people like him while on a visit in Teesside.
And he blurted out that he was going to cut National Insurance payments so people didn’t have to pay until they reach £12,000. Cue a lot of excited hacks and less excited advisers.
We still don’t have the full details. But it looks like the threshold would go up to £9,500 next year - with the ultimate ambition over time to raise it to £12,500.
That’s big saving for most of us - more than £400 a year - if it's true.

Personally I would like to see it invested. It apparently costs £11billion at full value. Let's put that £11 billion into social services, please? |

High earners and millionaires are loving Labour's policies. They will get free broadband, free dental checks, and if they hold a senior position in a company they will also benefit from the 10% of the company shares given to 'the workers'. Let's not forget they can then send their kids to university for free as well.
Labour - giving to the rich.

After 25 rip roaring years in the City I expect 500 quid is not much for you. Probably doesn't even cover a decent lunch. However, for many lower paid workers it is more than welcome. Surely anything that puts more money into the pockets of lower paid workers should be encouraged and applauded. |
