If you check the welfare system being unable to be understood by your fellow citizen when speaking or trying to speak rendered you elligable for full disability and i cannot see benifits being stopped for them as it would breach thier uman rights My late Mum's live in carer was Hungarian and I saw first hand just how well organised the Hungarian community was in this country. They had their own websites that gave them all the information they could ever need on every subject. What to claim, how to fill out the forms, what to say etc. You have to admire their community spirit. They also shared details of accommodation and jobs. I would imagine every other nationality is equally well organised. Every nationality that is except our own Edited Sunday at 20:32 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve just found this out in the process of selling a buy to let 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as we know they are back in Romania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new owner or tenant living at that address who applies for a credit card or car finance /HP, open a bank account etc may well find their request politely declined.

I had a tennant who had court judgements etc, and visits from VAT and HMRC 'enforcers' as well as LOTs on local suppliers. House has only subsequently been occupied within my family. However - never had problem with the address under other (that is my family members) names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&W FOX Posted Monday at 12:57 Report Share Posted Monday at 12:57 The debt from the tenant's was passed to a debt collection agency who insisted on sending threatening letter's to the property. When we challenged lloyds and the parking agency regarding the debt collection agency the letter's stopped and both lloyds and the parking agency paid us a small amount in compensation for the inconvenience we suffered. If the debt to a property is not taken care of properly, it's the property address that HAS a bad debt marker put on it so future tenants / residents may struggle to get finance.

You might think so but debt collectors and data bases are a law unto themselves My youngest son bought a house in Redditch about three years ago from (as it turns out, they didn't know at the time) a builder who had gone bankrupt. First they knew was when they had a lot of trouble getting the gas and electric reconnected. They had bailiffs banging on their door at 5am, and they are not like the polite ones you see on TV. Another time they had their car clamped on the drive and Currys wouldn't sell them a tumble drier on repayments. They were still getting people knocking on their door right up to when they moved just before Christmas. Each time it's not just "no they don't live here anymore" these debt collectors are proper pushy and do not take no for an answer Edited Monday at 13:15 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Diane Abbott will have been one of them. You need someone who's good (in a creative way) with figures in that post. Another might be Tulip Siddiq. She seems to be very good at magically conjuring huge sums just from nowhere. Perhaps she can make huge debts disappear the same way? Then there's Lord Ali. Free shirt with every endorsement from a business leader? Free glasses as well if it's a FTSE 100 business leader.

Because we have closed all of the coal power stations and rely on imported gas (having failed to continue to drill in the north sea) we are very reliant on wind and solar power. The AI stuff can therefore only be switched on when there is a gale and full sunshine. It's a world leader in climate stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted Monday at 17:39 Report Share Posted Monday at 17:39 Just now, Yellow Bear said: More like "it's going to cost gov.uk billions of £££" Gov.uk has no money. It's our money they squander on 'our behalf'. Put the right conditions in place (cheap, reliable and plentiful energy, low cost of skilled labour, low taxation, flexibility over employment conditions) and private money will do it. However with the most expensive energy in Europe (and most of the world), high costs of labour, high and rising taxation, restrictive working conditions, private money will find a more welcoming home elsewhere.
