One In ~ None Out

Mmmmm.

Not so sure about problems getting massages these days, it seem's rather popular.

And haircuts, I've never had so much choice. Also vape shops popping up everywhere in Portsmouth.

My daughter and 2 grandchildren (who have both been diagnosed with autism) have been issued with a section 21 and need to leave their rented house in 6 weeks as the landlord has decided to sell due to the fact that it is "no longer financially worth it" for him. She has only been there for 14 months as the same thing happened last time. Rent has skyrocketed here in Portsmouth and there is a 3 year wait for a council house. Who is to blame I don't know . I don't think it's due to more locals having more babies. It makes us all worried

Unfortunately, I don't have the complete answer but I do think that it's far to easy for them to get comfortable accommodation and all of the other perks. Maybe reduce the insensitive for them to come in the 1st place could be a start. What do you think?

Are you in control of all the facts or just what you're fed by the various media outlets you follow? I know I'm certainly not so don't know with what ease they get all this comfortable accommodation and other so called perks.

Another too as much as I think Starmer has come across as a right wew since the GE I have no idea what the solution is.
It was interesting to hear Trump talking about us bringing the military out but what are they going to do?

Does the Royal Navy have a role to play in this? As much as the orange man chats shit, it did make me think if the navy could be deployed in some sort of way to patrol the Chanel?

Most people need haircuts so that's a positive. I'm not in to vaping so don't really see the benefits of these shops.

I only follow the news on BBC and read the daily mail online. This I do so that I can get a different angle on each story that is being reported on. I'm not on any social media platform so don't get any information from there (my choice). Both of the media outlets I follow report the points that I made. Could you suggest another outlet that suggests otherwise?

I'd certainly stop reading the daily mail.

Deploying the Navy brings about a lot of legal, territorial and ethical problems.

It sure as hell would make us look less of a soft touch though.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's housing situation, I'm very glad that my renting days are in the past.

I'm no expert on the situation, but I think the reason so many private landlords are selling are the changes the government have made to the rental sector. All done with the intention of collecting more in tax, protecting tenants, and making more homes available for first-time buyers of course, but plenty of landlords are seeing their costs rise and profits drop, so they're selling up.

Apart from you, yours is lovely

That sentence probably sums up why we are in this situation.

Don't the Australians use the Navy for their illegal immigration challenges? (Don't quote me on this).

As you say, there must be a lot of complications to doing this. If it was simple, I'm sure the Tory government would have done it. Even Farage has said Reform would only do it as a last resort and he'll say anything even remotely plausible if he thinks it will help win votes.

I'm guessing that's because there are rules about making the boats turn around and return to France. Entering France territory to return them would I guess technically be an act of war?

Thinking about it, they'd have to rescue any boast in distress due to maritime laws, so would probably only hinder the situation and not help it.
