Posted in: Trump selling Bibles to encourage supporters to 'Make America Pray Again' See in context

Trump goes from MAGA to MAPA. I doubt Trump even attends church every Sunday. Biden does that much. This shameful man would sell his sole to the devil except he's already done that one.

Has Trump read a single page of the Bible?

Trump supports abortions even if limited to 15 weeks.

What a terrible shocking event unfolded on live TV. I was shocked that a ship, even this size, could take out a bridge-supporting pillar.

Putin has tried blaming the Moscow attack on Ukraine. He has not acknowledged ISIS claiming responsibility. 

But close ally Lukashenko appears to have publicly undermined him.

Lukashenko, said: 'There was no way they could enter Belarus. They saw that. That's why they turned away and went to the section of the Ukrainian-Russian border.'

Sorry, but at this point if you're getting hacked, it's your fault. Yeah, China's doing the hacking, or someone else. But you're letting it happen one way or another.

Many people do not have the skills or experience to prevent the hackers.

Posted in: UK homes have worst value for money in developed world: study See in context

In the UK in 2022 there were 25 million homes. 17% or 3.9 million were local authority or housing association homes.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE U.K.’S COUNCIL HOUSING? (HINT: VIENNA ISN’T THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL HOUSING.)

Social historian John Boughton explains how the U.K.’s social housing system changed millions of low- and middle-income people’s lives—and how privatization has crippled its power.

Ah_so

The lack of affordable homes started with Thatcher and her sell-off of council properties to the tenants.

> There is a confusion here - the properties that were bought by the tenants still exit - people still live in them and they are part of the housing stock, even if privately owned. The real problem is two-fold:

There is no confusion. Hundreds of thousands of council-owned homes were sold to the sitting tenants at greatly reduced prices. That reduced the number of housing units owned and controlled by the councils. There was no further income from those sold homes. The profit gained wasn't used to replace the stock of local authority homes.

Since 1980 Housing Co-ops and Housing Associations have built hundreds of thousands of homes in the UK at higher standards and cheaper building costs than those provided by the local authorities.

I was involved with the housing co-operative movement in London for 20 years before moving to Japan.

Those homes are at affordable rents. The tenants also have greater control over how their homes are run.

English Housing Survey 2018-19

Size of English homes

Homes in rural areas were larger on average. (123m²) than those in city and urban areas. (80m²) likely due to the higher proportion of houses.

We all know but it's coming soon and when it does I will support your right to have a same-sex marriage.

The odds of that are the same as you becoming a professional photographer, merchant marine, engineer etc. Or getting your hair back.

I have done most of those. ex-RN sailor. Professional photographer, I studied at art college, electrical engineer, and I have a full head of golden colored hair.

Anything else I can do for you other than supporting your right to same-sex marriage?
