This post by louisiana has had me in stitches for much of the time:


'uman rights

Posted by: louisiana Yesterday, 05:00PM


Today, I have been accosted by some demolition peeps undertaking unlawful work (according to Southwark council; Southwark planning enforcement due to visit, when they get a moment in their busy schedule) a few feet from my bedroom window, who said I was contravening their ooman rights by taking photos of what they were doing with a 30-foot-high caterpillar (major works, none with permission).


I feel I'm in the midst of an Partridge sketch.


What is the craziest citation of 'uman rights that you have come across?

Translate


I had to meet someone yesterday for an interview. As part of my prep I googled his/her name just in case there was any information online that might be useful to me. In the link select the 1st item and hit the translate button on the right. The translation I can only presume leaves something to be desired but the end product is an article worth reading. Sadly the Tam Chung I met was not someone I'd want to share this experience with.

A sad story, in fact, but something about it made me think of poor old Tony.BexleyGardenCentre. I'm afraid the Pot Noodles were the clincher.

Seem to remember that his (hot, Jamaican, possessive) actual ladyfriend was jealous of the potential rivalry from his (hot, possessive, Sierra Leonian) cleaner, or something.


Suffice to say, the only reasonable conclusion to draw was that there was, indeed, a cavalcade of ethnic foo-foo competing for a slice of the T.LS.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      That beacon of socialism and notorious envier of home owners - the USA  - has a property tax.  Generally an annual charge based on the fair market value of your house.

      The Mansion Tax

      Just had fun on RightMoves - luckily everything on my street is sub £2mm so if the valuation method is recent trading multiples then we'll all be OK...for now.   The new tax law might create an artificial resistance point at the £2mm level where natural inflation will not bring a certain population of houses over the threshold.   If I had unlimited funds this place would be AMAZING!! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/162706352?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY Total 1-off that obvs pre-dates the other houses around it.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Rockets · Posted

      There was an interesting chat about this on the budget The Rest Is Politics and they highlighted a challenge that taxation levels are now getting to Scandinavian levels yet our public services are nowhere near as good as theirs and the government is pouring money in to, for example, the NHS but people aren't seeing the improvement as (the politically dreaded) productivity is actually going down. They cited 20% to 30% more investments in nurses etc yet productivity is at around 7.8%. This is a big challenge for the government because if people don't feel the difference or feel they are getting good value for money they will turn on them very quickly.

      Certainly the threshold won't be increased, but, additionally, once the position is accepted that central government can impose a rental, for no return, on property you might expect it to be widened. Remember Council tax, also a tax on property, is in exchange for the services we get from our local council, but this property tax is in exchange for nothing. Indeed those hit by this tax are amongst the relatively few people, in general, who are net contributers to national income, as opposed to net benefitters.
