Stuart Dickson Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 So you know of totally different and not at all similar cases where social housing was created from private properties. That's good to know. I was responding to Tony's post not yours. He said he was unaware of any scheme that existed to return repossessed ex council houses back to council stock. I'm just being helpful. Ofcourse I have no problem with the fact that this MP has purchased repossessed houses and added them to her property portfolio to rent out. It's just a shame that she is such a hypocrite when it comes to denying others the opportunities that she so clearly profited from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 The inherited house was bought by her Grandmother as a Right To Buy property. She benefited from this and it has allowed her to increase her property portfolio. As I said repeatedly she would be my poster girl (even though I have no idea what she looks like) as the classic beneficiary of the superb Right To Buy programme introduced by the best UK Prime Minister ever to enable social mobility from the working classes. Where I take issue with what she has done is that having taken full advantage of the scheme, she now speaks out against Right To Buy and her party is denying others the same opportunity. Bluto and Oaksoft don't represent me or my views and I doubt they are even trying to. She's actually very nice. I have met her a few times. I can introduce you if you like! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 You sure know amazing folk. Ones that, in 1999, could take advantage of a scheme that was first launched in 2003. Is this us back to the time travel talk? Cool! I did say circa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 She's actually very nice. I have met her a few times. I can introduce you if you like! ;) I've met nice Natsi's before. I've even got some friends that are Natsi's - rabid Natsi's even. So it doesn't surprise me there may be a nice one at Westminster. My local one is supposed to be nice too - thick as f**k of course and an idiot that was prepared to defend a Mother who had abandoned her kids in her case with the CSA, but nice all the same. They just all seem to have the same personality flaw though where independence overrules their morals everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Circa would include the four years before and after in your case. If you consider a nine year period to be "circa" when you are talking about something so recent then you are deluded - f**k, forgot who I was replying to. If it was bluto reminiscing about the Boer War then that time period might be acceptable ... thats an error bar of around 9 years out of 21 :-D nice going for dicko. his arithmetic is getting better.

Ach you're right. I've got Slartibartfast on ignore. I find him mind numbingly dull - same with his pal Coward. Putting him on ignore makes the forum look so much more interesting. Sometimes I do click on that link to read what he's saying, sometimes I don't. I guess it depends on how bored I'm feeling in that particular moment. I do listen to Tony. He's an abhorrent Natsi but he's nowhere near as dull as Coward and Slartibartfast - who are the only two I have on ignore currently. Sometimes I'll respond to him engaging in his debate. More often I just think he's wrong and decide there's no point in ceding ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) BTW does anyone else find it a bit weird that Dr Cameron here can build her property portfolio whilst her husband files for bankruptcy claiming he's got less than £10,000 in assets and earns minimum wage - especially when he's working for his wife? I wonder how many creditors he let down and who they were. If they were divorcing under Scots law he'd have a claim on her property as marital assets but it appears he was allowed to become bankrupt without any consideration against these assets.

Stuart Dickson Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) : : : What a way to get out of donating £100 to charity. If Carlsberg did excuses ... I've no idea what you are talking about but for the record - this week I donated £250 to charity - split equally between McMillans (A sponsorship of my girlfriend who did the loony dook on New Years Day) and to Sense, a charity that was very close to my Dads heart in lieu of posting Christmas Cards this year. I hope you too have been in charitable spirit and you can detail all the charities you have donated to this week.... Edited to add - this is £246 more than he put in for the whole of 2014. He had pledged to donate all of his First Minister pension to the charity every year but it appears he forgot. Nice huh....

Stuart Dickson Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I see Nicola Sturgeon was put on the defensive yet again - this time claiming that Ruth Davidson wasn't being fair when she asked why the Scottish Government had failed to pay out a penny of the £5m given by Westminster to the Scottish Government to aid victims of the recent floods. The SNP response after crying "you're no being fair ya big bad bully" was that they weren't ready to spend the money cause they didn't know what to spend it on. I'm sure that's of cold comfort to those swimming in their living room whilst their neighbours fortunate enough to live just over the border in England have already had their payouts. Bizarrely John Swinney appeared to know what he was spending it on though cause he'd already announced that £4m was being given to affected Local Authorities to pass on council tax rate cuts to those in affected areas. Where the other £1m has disappeared to is anyone's guess although no doubt it will emerge that Alex Salmond will have used it for yet another expensive week long family holiday to the US - at least it spares us all from having to fight the flood of pish he comes away with. And I see that COSLA - the umbrella group covering all Scottish Local Authorities have reacted with "puzzlement" to the news that John Swinney claimed that £235m of funding had been made available to local authorities for 42 new flood protection schemes payable over the next 5 years.. COSLA said in their statement that they they were unaware of any promise of funding out with the next financial year. And on top of that it's also emerged that Swinney cut funding to SEPA by 6% in his September budget. SEPA of course run the flood forecasting service in Scotland. Swinney has been defending those cuts and rejected calls from Labour for a review into flood protection in Scotland. Swinney claimed "there was no need cause the Scottish Government had passed a law in 2009 on flood protection". Well that bit of paper certainly did it's job then didn't it John......

bluto Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 There is. Someone who CLAIMS to have given to charity and openly boasts about it. What is £250 as a % of his £150k night watchman salary? 0.17%, so generous. It'll be tax deductible, too. He also thinks that he hasn't sent Christmas cards this year. I would have thought that it would be about 11 months too early to do that, anyway. Careful now.. That £250 charitable gift was only for one week, if I read Herr dixon's post correctly - and I do. You can't diss someone's logic, if your own is not on solid ground. Ok. You can, but you shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Have a listen to yesterday's FM questions between Sturgeon and Davidson, you'll realise his post is the usual inaccurate shite. Ruthie asked where the £5million was going. Nicola said she wouldn't say yet as there was still an ongoing risk of other areas being flooded. She added that there might be a need to commit more than £5million. I also heard an interview with the guy from sepa a couple of days ago on radio shortbread where he explained that the 6% cut was in common with other debts and would be found through efficiency savings and it wouldn't affect any flood prevention work. I post this in the interest of clarity and balance, not to defend or support an individual or political party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Of course you don't. Why would you go about detailing how much you have given to charity? Do you want a pat on the back? Saddo! Do you really think that you know how much I have given to charity ... and that I was First Minister? You really are a tit! So you donated nothing to charity then.....hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosferatu Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Where did I say that? You are just trying to get me to mention a number so you can say that I am doing the same as you. Maybe I gave nothing, maybe I gave thousands of pounds. Maybe I do regular charitable volunteer work, maybe I don't do any at all. None of this, of course, is any of your f**king business. Unlike you, I don't feel the need to let people know if and when I do a good deed. If you need applause, cheers and a pat on the back, that is your choice/weakness/character flaw. You really are a sad little man. Why do you think I was First Minister?
