I remember some member of the SA cabinet blaming many of the countries ills on females wearing miniskirts, this was in the early seventies, an enlightened era.

That is an interesting point quids, they haven't lost their voice for so many other lesser issues, yet they are speechless on other topics.

I wonder, is it political correctness keeping them quiet?

Anyway there may be something to that article. I once drove into a shopping trolley when distracted by a lady in a short skirt.


What a coincidence. I was once almost run over by some idiot in car when I was putting my shopping trolley away, one sunny day.......

They don't agree with it, many just do some uncomfortable shuffling and skirting around the issues in public

How can anyone dignify this with a sensible debate? The story is about a total and utter loon! No one in their right mind agrees with any of it!


Other than the bit about causing youths to go astray. We do that all the time.


*hee hee*


[action thingies inserted just for Ladymuck]

That's cos I'm Western and liberal. We're all products of our upbringing. And mine leads me to scream "LOON!" when I read things like that.


Please don't think I'm ignorant quids, I've studied Islam, Christianity and Judaism for several years and have a working understanding of the Hindu and Sikh religions. But I still think he's a loon, and a very disingenous one at that. Established religions have a proven history of playing on human fears to control a population for political ends. A better example I haven't seen in quite a while. Sex = Earthquake? Well maybe, if you're lucky, but not in the way he thinks.


So I make no apologies for it - he's a loon!

Not so very lunatic LB - right up until the flat-earth earthquake bit, I reckon you've got a fairly standard rape defence from any British law court. Ridiculous maybe, but lunatic, not so much.


As to Quids's point about lefties and awkward silences, I'll come right out and say it (and await the death threats). Purdah is inherently sexist.


And yes, Red Devil, I did hear that there was a minor earthquake at the weekend, epicentre Lordship Lane, when you caused a lady-stampede while popping out for a few cans from Boss Man.

I hear what you say RosieH but I'm sticking with lunatic. In my view only a lunatic would consider it acceptable to use that as a defence to rape. I'm not saying it isn't used, or that it doesn't work. But you're a raving loon if you think it's an acceptable defence of anything. Though we are now rather off topic.


Sorry Mick Mac, is this better:

Not that I'm competitive or anything.

    • To add, Ultimately the problems and remedial action go back to the landlord and the agents (Foxtons in this case) have to refer everything back to the landlord and get the landlord's consent to act, including instructing trades to undertake repairs. The landlord may be the underlying problem. Suggest use the above links and escalate, including sending written notices to both the agents and landlord direct. The landlord details should be stated in the tenancy agreement. For complaints / faults, make sure you have a written record including follow up in writing / email on all calls.
    • Absolutely mental what Labour have become/are doing  because I’m me - I am going to say, it was the denial of reality that was the 2016 referendum, the genuflection of it ever since and the aggressive behaviour of the right wing press ever since that have cowed weak, spineless politicians  Until them at shibboleth is defeated, we can replace governments and leaders as much as we want - won’t make a tack of difference  we are in bizarro world since 2016 - only the electorate recognising that vocally will we see improvements  without that, every government, party and leader will be in hock to fantasists  (there are things govts can do regardless of Brexit. Of course there are. But the root - the root problem - will continue to infect)
    • I wrote to Ellie during Labour conference due to their continued focus on the boats telling her that most of my friends and family believe there are more important things to focus on than the small boats.  That does not mean it should not be addressed, but sadly this has become a toxic issue stirred up by Reform, the right wing media/rabid social media, to a lesser extent Bedenock and Philp, and sadly Labour itself.  Mahmood's statement today that illegal migration is "tearing the country apart" makes me shudder.  All credit to Plaid Cymru for their stance in the Caerphilly Welsh Parliament by-election. PM and Home Secretary you are encouraging this.  Just repeat after me "as a country we are better than this". Well perhaps some will think that I live in a liberal bubble and I am not in touch with the 'common people".  I'd like to think we are all better than this. And that includes the other culture wars that Reform will continue to stoke up including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and gender politics.    
    • Local councils in England have significant powers to take action against unfit housing [and my own words rather than AI - have a duty to take action], primarily under the Housing Act 2004 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018. These powers are used by environmental health or private sector housing teams and typically follow an assessment using the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) Here's more details from central government: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/homes-fitness-for-human-habitation-act-2018/guide-for-local-authorities-homes-fitness-for-human-habitation-act-2018 If Southwark are not responding, next port of call is your local councilor - having been at MP's surgeries a few times much of their constituency time will be taken up with issues like yours. The oven thing is just bizarre - reminds me of what landlords would do when I was a student.   Shelter also provide guidance.  You should serve notice on your landlord, but I'd go to Southwark at the same time https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/private-tenants-and-landlords/private-tenants/your-rights-and-responsibilities/unsafe-and Others may be able to advise on whether your house has to be licensed.  If you change the title to "advice on unfit rented property" you may get more offering advice. Finally contact the Waterloo legal advice centre for free advice: https://www.lawworks.org.uk/legal-advice/individuals/waterloo-legal-advice-service Lawyers give up their time (pro bono) to help those in particular need. Good luck and keep this thread updated.
