And some fine young prick is earning three k a month by owning something he expunged no effort in doing so.

I know it’s an unfair system but ladder pullers are beneath contempt.

Take that crap to the proper thread, you're spoiling this one.

Why is someone renting 'less fortunate' by definition?

I’d bet the people who can afford to rent the houses (there are 2 of them) near us that are up for $3k (so about £1.6k) per week each aren’t “less fortunate”!

Mind you the houses were built as part of a TV show, and are fking hideous, so they will definitely be council

And some fine young prick is earning three k a month by owning something he expunged no effort in doing so.

I know it’s an unfair system but ladder pullers are beneath contempt.

Am I missing something here? Surely the people who bought the house (aka landlords) have had to find the money to fund the purchase, so there is some work gone into it as well as risk. @cheese - your anti landlord comments do come across as very prejudiced.

My first ones were hand me downs in the 70’s. Red with the blue double piping is one I remember. From my older cousins. I still buy them. I’ve the black one with the yellow piping and it annoyed me that in the US it has become associated with the MAGA lot but I’ll still wear it and not allow them to appropriate. Small time wins, don’t let other people’s perceptions divert from what you want to wear.

Cheap branded Armani is a different kettle of fish than Fred. As is Lacoste anything , don’t get me started on how council white Lacoste trainers are lol.

Adding lol to the end of sentences that would never end with somebody laughing out loud. Council.

There seems to be a real swell of jealousy against Landlords at the moment. As you say, folks don't seem to realise, or care, that the landlords have worked and saved to purchase those properties. I advise many landlords to put their properties across to company lets for supported living these days. Hard for the holier than thou, eat the rich types to argue against it, and it protects the landlords from tenants.

In my experience, the vast majority have a property that they have a mortgage on (whether a legitimate BtL or not) and are in the game hoping that other people will eventually buy them a property.

I am sure that many similar types on PH see themselves as princes amongst men, but I do not hold them in high regard either - mostly as a result of their attitudes, practices and behaviour. I am sure that there are decent people who this summary describes too, but I am yet to see one.

This is normally a great humerous thread
It would be nice if it could continue in that style

Being condescending; council

and for clarity:

condescending
adj.

having or showing an attitude of patronizing superiority.
"she thought the teachers were arrogant and condescending"


in plainspeak "to talk down to"

Impressive levels of condescension. I see what you did there.

If we can’t have a laugh what’s the fking point, I admire your insincerity and will struggle to emulate it.

After a quick trip to Morrisons this morning and then a walk along the seafront … Mother’s Day - council.

[kowalski655]

A programme on today about rotten landlords and tenants, there are scum on both sides, but only a crap landlord has killed someone, see the death of Awaab Ishak.

landlord in this particular case being a housing assoc - which is what people seem to be pushing for (ie not a "greedy, do nothing private chancer"). IIRC there are also other issues at play here which mitigates the blame laid entirely at the foot of the HA?

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Being unable to move on from irrelevant discussion about landlords. Council. And boring.

Which seafront? All seaside towns are council but some are more council than others.

Would you prefer knuckles? Don’t answer that, I’m not interested in your opinion. I’m questioning it.

Adding lol on the internet rather than coming full on fighting talk may be council but if it is it’s no bad thing. I’m wearing a Fred Perry top right now. Lol.

If its a genuine Fred Perry polo shirt, that is fine. Snide or any other FP stuff and its council. That's PH official.

The Council thread has gone full Council.

It's the recent (re)joiners stroking themselves off trying to reach the numbers to post back in NP&E. They try and be edgy and controversial to create chat. Best ignored.
