But clearly the LL is refusing to provide connections for electricity or gas so the tenant is in the same (difficult) position?

[islandgirl]

I have always thought the LL has to provide a means of cooking (ie not the cooker but the ability to use one). Social housing has the connections - tenants provide the cookers. I think it is strange that there is no connection provided and I would expect to pay for one (as LL) in these circumstances...

Apologies JKO lets get back to Brexit.....

[islandgirl]

When I posted the Labour plans I knew Mr M would think they were fair and appropriate. I was right! Anyway lets see what the Leadership election brings today...

[islandgirl]

It does not say that there will not be compulsory purchase of the land underneath existing houses..indeed that is the logical next step. Also as JKO points out, what if they want to buy my land and I do not want to sell. Once again complusory purchase at a non- market price. I have also seen other proposals...

But I own my freehold - why should someone else get it off me? Clearly this is the "property is theft" lot...Corbyn = Communist

[islandgirl]

On another note, given that a new Conservative party leader may mean a General Election anyone any thoughts on this - seen in the internet today so cannot say if it is true or not but seems like the sort of thing Corbyn would advocate:

So that is why the EU took us to court about Right to Reside? With all due respect you do have blue tinted yellow star encrusted specs sir. The glorious EU does no wrong. It is easier to get benefits here than anywhere else in the EU (not my conclusion). There are lots of unemployed EU migrants (I see...

Right to reside is the key mr M...right to reside. I know it is complex but there it is!
Having done more research it appears the UK did win the right to enforce the Right to Reside rules in the face of opposition from the EU: https://www.ein.org.uk/news/european...rules-uk-can-w...

[islandgirl]

Not quite.

House of commons briefing paper 2015 remember that benefits come with a right to reside...(a fact which the EU has challenged and is an attempt by the Uk to conrol benefit payments"

"EEA nationals may also have a right to reside as a jobseeker, if they...

and when they find out they will also join us on the Leave side I am sure!

And, until a couple of years ago, most people simply didn't care either.

Well thank goodness we woke up just in time....

[islandgirl]

Well I read all that and there was, sadly, nothing new. So that is a few moments of my life I will never get back. Thank you Macromia for bothering - you really needn't have done so though. Look forward to reading a post from you when you have something new to say. Till then bon nuit mon ami!

[islandgirl]

I love this! You actually use the "add up the votes" argument to make the losers win. Add the Conservatives to the Brexit party and the Remainers lose - but that does not fit the narrative so you don't. Simply wonderful.

You really did write "voters in the UK really don't...

Ask her to send it to you a week in advance of the viewing then if it is OK you can take it with you view the place and sign on the day - or rip it up if you have any problem with the property...however I think the best advice is from JP - find somewhere else!

[islandgirl]

we certainly live in interesting times....I love the rollercoaster nature of politics at the moment. My son is studying Government and Politics at A Level. He must think it has always been this fascinating....

[islandgirl]

"this demonstrates is that they do not use their votes sensibly (voting for 'The Brexit Party' in EU elections being a prime example)".
Absolutely correct if you support Remain. Totally sensible if you support Brexit. Maybe they cannot actually make it happen but it puts pressure in...

[islandgirl]

I get it. I can mirror your feelings. I respect your views. Mine are the opposite of course!
I have also had enough. I am certain that leaving the EU will have a positive impact on my life and that of my three kids. Continually having to fight for what I believe in and having the slmmest hope...
