At last, someone who is prepared to speak up for the Wehrmacht.

It's going to be a night mare finding that.

Ah right, thanks. It is a shame he didn't have to face justice.

Isnt it likely the transponder was turned off?

We drove through Syria in 1994. On almost every lamp post there was a portrait of Hafez Al-Assad. It was the most terrifying cult of personality I have ever seen in person. We went to the city of Hama where there were multiple massacres in the 1980s. The fear was palpable. The Syrian people we met were wonderful. Including the farmer who insisted we stay on his house when we had asked if we could pitch a tent on his land. I hope Assad and those who have upheld his tyranny receive the justice they dealt to others.

I hope they catch him.

Plus one to what Loins said.

I am inverting stuff with December calorie counting though.

I assume it is a walk in not appointment situation?

Thanks

Don't worry. Remember there are "clever people" working on self governance for AI firms.

It is not just about making Sam Altman more rich and powerful.

Torsten Bell, the genius SPAD behind the Ed stone, is an MP now.

For anyone keeping notes.

The five missions:
1) Kickstart economic growth
to secure the highest sustained growth in the G7 – with good jobs and productivity growth in every part of the country making everyone, not just a few, better off.
2) Make Britain a clean energy superpower
to cut bills, create jobs and deliver security with cheaper, zero-carbon electricity by 2030, accelerating to net zero.
3) Take back our streets
by halving serious violent crime and raising confidence in the police and criminal justice system to its highest levels.
4) Break down barriers to opportunity
by reforming our childcare and education systems, to make sure there is no class ceiling on the ambitions of young people in Britain.
5) Build an NHS fit for the future
that is there when people need it; with fewer lives lost to the biggest killers; in a fairer Britain, where everyone lives well for longer.

Labour's first steps

• Deliver economic stability with tough spending rules, so we can grow our economy and keep taxes, inflation and mortgages as low as possible.
  
• Cut NHS waiting times with 40,000 more appointments each week, during evenings and weekends, paid for by cracking down on tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes.
  
• Launch a new Border Security Command with hundreds of new specialist investigators and use counter-terror powers to smash criminal boat gangs.
  
• Set up Great British Energy, a publicly-owned clean power company, to cut bills for good and boost energy security, paid for by a windfall tax on oil and gas giants.
  
• Crack down on antisocial behaviour, with more neighbourhood police paid for by ending wasteful contracts, tough new penalties for offenders, and a new network of youth hubs.
  
• Recruit 6,500 new teachers in key subjects to set children up for life, work and the future, paid for by ending tax breaks for private schools.
  
  

Labours six milestones

• raising living standards in every part of the UK, as part of the government's aim to deliver the highest sustained economic growth in the G7 group of rich nations
  
• building 1.5 million homes in England and fast-tracking planning decisions on at least 150 major infrastructure projects
  -ending hospital backlogs to meet the NHS target that 92% of patients in England wait no longer than 18 weeks for planned treatment
  
• a named police officer for every neighbourhood in England and Wales, with the recruitment of 13,000 additional officers, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and special constables
  
• increasing the proportion of children in England who are "ready to learn" when they start school at the age of five, to 75%
  
• putting the country on track for at least 95% clean power by 2030
  

Why does he keep rewriting the strategy? First we had the five missions. Then Labour's first steps. Now the six pledges. None of which are consistent. It is a shambles. Unfortunately our governing class have forgotten you actually need to do something after you have made the speech and issued the press release.

For example, have they cracked down on anti-social behaviour? Have they smashed the gangs? Have they recruited the extra 6.5k new teachers? Which was always a nonsense pledge, as it never defined time frame, whether this was net of teachers leaving the profession, etc.

Probably the wrong place to ask, but i want a slightly better haircut than my local barber offers. Where should i go in London (central or Hackney / Islington area)?

@hugo7 recommended somewhere on a thread a while back

I'm sure you have thought about this already but any money you put towards the works is coming off your mortgage deposit and negatively impacting your ltv.

You are showing too much of your hand to the estate agents. Because you are a decent, reasonable person you expect estate agents will behave reciprocally. They will not.

A good way to change the negotiation dynamics is with 'the cost of expected works is too great and I anticipate you will not accept my revised offer, so we will withdraw'. That will put them in the position of asking you what you are prepared to offer then.

Never disclose your surveyors report or what you have actually been quoted itemised.

However they have framed it, it comes down to what price their sellers will accept. Clearly they don't have a red hot buyer waiting in the wings or they would have moved on already.
