This will teach me to regurgitate ill-informed comments and pass them off as my own original thought.

Our detailed investigation found, once again, that it was entirely the fault of the most junior identifiable individual responsible.

Their entrails have been fed to the media dogs as a lesson to other disposable employees and no other lesson need be learnt at an executive level.

How would a landlord leaving the business cut supply?

Unless they're demolishing the property, it'll go back on the market. It'd be available as a property to buy, wouldn't it?

You say that, but the last US President didn't. Despite quite a bit of urging from his own base...

Zack and Ed.

They're the only ones who are human.

Also, they don't ooze contempt for those who holds student viewpoints to them

I think it's that point of it's good to kill an Admiral from time to time.

When those at the top can act with impunity, we're all fucked.

All Americans should be executed.

They prove it themselves, every day

Always useful to hear opposing viewpoints. Thanks

What would be the solution, then? Strong enforcement of minimum standards for space and quality? Higher taxation for landlords?

I means it's surely an accepted fact that the status quo is failing us. Isn't it?

The maths of this is so confusing. Mercifully your explanation kind of makes sense.

Is this, notionally, Nandy's job?

She seems to be the queen, nah, empress of CBA

How *do* you right the wrongs of slavery though?

I doubt paying descendants of slavery a trillion is the answer, but I have no idea what is.

If a news organisation is making -200% margin after five years, it is not a commercial operation and should be assumed to have a different purpose.

Check their hard drives. They should be on a register.

Sex offenders, each one of them.

One of them wanted incest legalised FFS!

There's no evidence that they're financially corrupt.

Equally, it's there any evidence that they're *not* morally corrupt?

Actively promoting a partisan agenda which will destroy the country, whilst pretending they're impartial arbiters of the truth.

Rent controls are so obvious once 2 think about it.

What's strange is that rent controls were cross party orthodoxy in Thatcher's time, but it's entirely forgotten now.

Without them, landlords will *always* pay more for properties and raise rents to pay for them. Pushing prices ever upwards.
