It turned up today. It's fucking tiny. I went back to look at the six cup one and it appears that was the one I was using.

I'd been (and will likely continue be) having a sex-tuple expresso at the start of every day.

Noice.

I'd probably need the three cup one and with christmas money, I ordered one from amazon (sadly, but my attempts to use ebay have been challenging at least).

Anyway, so I needed a new one. Christmas present perhaps, except I knew there was an ancient one in the junk room of an unknown size, and had to check if that was the same. I looked at it, nooo, it was a six cup one, far too much...

Except until a couple of months ago when I lost the bottom bit of the pot. I reckon the ghost which possesses the house got me to drop it in the bin, in a moment similar to when I find myself sticking the house keys behind a cup on a dusty shelf for some reason.

But still not a law.

What is so awful is that they seem to be concerned about a foreign power taking over the rabidly insane telegraph, yet Levedev hoovers up all the 'unbiased' papers.

Only thing which sates me a little is they're losing so much money.

I know but they did used to be kind of the same newspaper and sort of balanced but not for a long time...

(Metro also now a daily mail mouthpiece too but it could be easily bought meaning it looked like pro brexit when just advertisements back in 2016)

I is the Daily mail now. Independent is lebedevs so unrelated.

It's a marketing tagline not a law.

Them saying the quiet part out loud and expecting hilarity is the world we live in now.

We all know Fartrage is saying "Send them back", even Bad-Enoch is saying it and will be smiling right up until the van turns up at her door, with Patel in Braverman already in the back.

It's the National Front

That will give those quitterati a chance to tell us all those benefits to make up for that.

Finally.

...

Ok, I guess not found any yet.

Written by someone who will be dazed and confused standing at the bottom of some airplane steps in Rwanda a year after he helps Fartrage get elected.

I'm not really sure how you do dialogue but whatever.

To mention about what is happening out in the unemployment heavy "sticks" like Wolverhampton, outside groups are buying flats and charging insane (for the area) rents for them. Then hawking them out on airbnb.

Now we've got empty flats, filled at weekends, and a housing shortage as well.

So you're arguing over precision?

Ok, within rational sense, 2.5 times the average wage of the area. A bit higher in London.

In Wolverhampton, where you can still get a 100K terraced house (but buy to let is killing that), 2.5 times the average wage there is around 50K. So even that is overpriced.

Kind of.

And this is the crux of it all.

Buy to let should have not been subsidised via low interest rates and tax breaks over economic control all these years.

The idea that "house prices growth is good for all" is utter nonsense, and clearly we are at the sharp end of that.
