Mps Working At Home

[maggiebee]

Please tell me this isn't true - have just read that MPs will receive an extra £10,000 for working at home. Apologies if this has been posted before but this is the first time I have read it. My question is why?

//Right To Buy seemed fair at the time, but the long term effect was to destroy the social housing stock//

Social housing seemed fair when it was introduced, but in the long term led to misuse. Few, if any, handed back housing when they could afford to buy their own, and some were just fraudulently obtained and used from the start. It takes a tragedy like Grenfell to really appreciate how little a council knows about the actual use of its social housing.

//No preconceptions, Mozz. I read what you write and that's what I respond to.//

Unless I dare to disagree with a Tory, then it's because I'm a lefty in your opinion, not because they may be incorrect.

Mozz, //Unless I dare to disagree with a Tory...//

Hmmm... no political motivation there then.

Teacake, you've dodged my question.

[Mozz71]

Taking a small part of the sentence in an attempt to change what I wrote? How pathetic, and yet highly predictable. Well done Naomi, you reverted to type.

12.58 yep spot on again!! :0)

[naomi24]

Mozz, just wondering why especially a Tory?

Teacake, still dodging questions - not to mention skulking behind someone who does have the courage to say what he thinks…. although with prejudice like this …

//Well done Naomi, you reverted to type.//

…. he does let himself down occasionally.

[i]I didn’t see the Labour voters turning down the offer, jno, and neither did I see subsequent Labour governments reversing the initiative[i]

er, what? You didn't see Labour voters turning down the (Tories') socialist offer of redistributing wealth, and you didn't see Labour governments rescinding it either?

How bizarre.

[naomi24]

Read on, jno - it helps in understanding the gist of any conversation. The fact is what I do see are Labourites, having enjoyed the fruits of that redistribution of wealth as you call it, now bleating on about the wicked old Tories selling council houses. Bizarre is one word for it.

[iluvmargie]

Did anybody on here actually buy their council house? My parents did and they were so proud to be homeowners. I was proud of them too.

[teacake44]

The idea is to leave it on the back burner for one and a half hours, then jump in, in the hope of getting the last word in on any post. Mission complete with the full timers.

//just wondering why especially a Tory?//

Because last I looked, Mr Hancock is a Tory MP. That is not the reason I disagreed with him, I'd have disagreed with whoever has said those words.

Would you had supported him so tenaciously had he been of a different party I wonder?

[Mozz71]

//although with prejudice like this …

//Well done Naomi, you reverted to type.//

…. he does let himself down occasionally.//

No prejudice Naomi. I just read what you write and that's what I respond to.

[royfromaus]

It isn't true.

[Mozz71]

What isn't true Roy?

[maggiebee]

Why does every post on this site turn into a slanging match which has little or no relevance to the OP?

[royfromaus]

maggiebee requested to be told that her OP wasn't true and I obliged.

[teacake44]

18.18 just love it!!!

[Mozz71]

Maggie, because it is the way of things in AnswerBank.

[naomi24]

Mozz, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thank you. :o)

[Mozz71]

You're welcome. I couldn't resist it! :-)
