For fucks sake, let’s all loan each other art and anything else without it being some absurd political response. The more cultural sharing the better. It doesn’t mean we are now best buddies who will lick them off whenever they want (like we do with US), just small positive steps…
I was thinking the same thing haha, with him it’s yes
Interesting! Will mention that in mine too
That is really helpful, thank you!
I’m still thinking of a response too. Transparency generally is better.
My argument would mainly be that the cost is a barrier to normal people and academics looking to do research that would benefit the public. I personally wanted to do research about our local area to see how much land is publicly vs privately owned but the cost of access prohibited me from doing it. However, if I was rich I could just pay, so it’s an unfair to have a unnecessary cost being in the way.
Anti-money laundering is always a good one.
We already provide company information for free so why should this be any different. If Companies House can operate in this way there is absolutely no reason why the Land Registry cannot. Submitters pay fees when submitting and that should be enough to cover the costs.
It could save on legal fees when buying a property or settling boundary disputes.
It would help businesses where the information could help them find potential clients or for infrastructure projects.
It would help leaseholders to understand who actually owns the land before having to pay solicitors to do checks. Most people go for the cheapest conveyancing so I would guess things are easily missed, especially if each request is a separate cost.
It would help renters to understand who actually owns the property they are looking to rent. Tenants often only know the Agent and have to rely on everybody acting faithfully. The cost prohibits normal renters checking but free access might mean more checks are available.
Fundamentally, we have right to know who owns what where our homes, communities, businesses, jobs and travel in between is vital to us.
For fucks sake, I read through that and missed it, what an idiot! Thank you
Can anybody find a link to the consultation and how to respond? I’ve looked on gov.uk consultations, the land registry website and been searching around but couldn’t find the consultation the news article mentions.
Hate is hate, racism is racism. There are and should be no levels of them. Who makes the rules for what is more or less racist? Why should any be tolerated?
When I was 12 and an idiot in many ways, I might’ve responded to many racist words against me (I am of Sikh heritage) with racist words back because that’s just a simple and natural response. The correct thing to do is to pull us both up on it equally and say both are wrong and get an equal punishment, or even better, education on why they are wrong to use. Now if that happens between a Sikh and a Muslim, both would be “equally racist”. If it was between a Sikh and a Jewish person, then even if the Jewish person “started it”, you are saying the Sikh should be punished more because one is worse than the other? How about if the antisemitism does not mention the holocaust?
It just doesn’t make any sense to single one thing out when we have clear guidance and public acceptance on what is racism and that it should be stamped out.
It is good to point out that antisemitism is rising. However, any person making that argument cannot deny that islamophobia is also rising, as is anti-immigrant hate. We should be looking to combat all of it, overwise you are saying one group of people is more important that another, which is by definition racism.
You can’t combat racism with more racism!
It is clear that antisemitism is being taken more seriously by the British establishment than any other forms of racism. Even on a personal level, I am often mistaken to be Muslim and suffer racism from time to time, and the Sikh community has suffered anti-Sikh racism. I am still supportive of stamping out all racism including antisemitism and islamaphobia.
Academics and International bodies agree that what happened and still happening in Gaza is genocide.
OAPs get arrested for holding up signs whilst a public group of white supremists with public Instagram accounts marching in hoods on our streets aren’t even being tracked by the police:
Ohhh yeah, the terrorists who have to be carried off by the police because they’re too feeble to walk or are disabled - the real danger
How is this not terrorism!!! I know the answer is skin colour but still, what the absolute fuck
One step forward (sanctioning some limited west bank expansion) and four steps back (equating anti-zionism to antisemitism in a party literally led by a Jewish person, carrying on supplying weapons including defending a factory known to supply drones, no action against the Israeli government and it’s ministers who are publicly and openly calling for further genocide, and doing nothing in retaliation to Israel forcing our consulate to close in East Jerusalem which is in occupied Palestinian land)
I miss my post lady. She was cheery, nice to talk to, hard working and didn’t get mail mixed up. Slowly and surely, she got grumpier and grumpier before disappearing. Now it’s a different person every week or so and our mail is constantly late or posted in the wrong door.
Fuck this privatisation and everyone involved
Who is calling for another genocide? Where is that ever mentioned or hour could you possibly reach that conclusion?
If more money is going to UK workers than more money is paid in UK taxes or spent in the UK economy. Right now, the UK workers get as small as amount as possible whilst the profits is extracted to shareholders who are either:
Yes it would cost more in the short term but lead to long term growth.
That’s just from an economic point of view, not mentioning human dignity, helping the poorest, reducing inequality, etc.
He was arrested after the fact for one specific action he filmed himself doing, and the blow up of this on social media and the news. My point is that he managed to bring together many masked and black clothed men together, which seemed to surprise the police, whereas he has been acting in plain sight the entire time so maybe they are not focussing on these true acts of terrorism that’s been happening all across the country for some time.
Danny Tommo is a man of the people so we should leave him alone!
For examples:
His quotes after he went to Belfast:
What I’ve witnessed in Belfast has given me the inspiration to realise that when everyone gets involved who’s committed, a change can be made. We are going to produce a patriotic army of thousands and thousands of English and British men that are done with protesting, done with walking down roads, and want to make a difference.
He started the Patriot Platform which publicly organised the Portsmouth mob but guess the police are too busy arresting the obviously more dangerous grannies who dare to hold up signs.
There’s video, photo and text evidence all over his and other thugs’ social media. You can search for them online calling for vigilante actions, violent behaviour, calling for a civil war, direct anti-Muslim hatred, anti-immigrant behaviour, targeting the RNLI, and organising “protests” all over the country. In one week he posted that he was in Belfast, Epsom (Surrey), Central London, Southamptom and what looked to be. A small group of people are literally going around terrorising local communities without a care for the actual people living there.
He’s been convicted of kidnapping and had one arrest at an airport. Yet pensioners holding a sign saying certain words get their houses raided.
There needs to be much more regulation on agents too. They really are a parasite on society. Ive always been well versed in the laws so when agents outright lied to me I could challenge them but most people don’t know so their lies and bending of the rules go unchecked.
Just a small reminder that the Jackdaw Gas Field will create 27 direct jobs, is so small it won’t impact energy bills and is a fossil fuel so will be extracted and burned once and can never be reused.
