So the benefits to pay for this rent comes from local councils, and it goes to pay local councils? Makes perfect sense.

Not even "just in case". Where I live, there is one bus into town at 9:30, and a second at 3:30. Completely unhelpful for anyone who wanted to get to work.

We need significant better public transport for it to even be am option, at the moment its just a token.

That was after the £37m dividend they paid their owners.

Not available in your country.

A bit harsh for feddit.uk content to not be viewable in the UK :(

That's basically how I read it initially.

Apparently that is how she refers to herself and its perfectly normal for folks to not refer to themselves as "gay" but as being part of the community.

Its almost like handing out control of something as critical and a natural monopoly as water supplies to the Saudi's is a bad idea.

The Aussie owners before them milked it and generated most of this debt.

The water company, which has said it could run out of cash by next June, had asked the regulator for permission to charge customers £156.6m through bills to plug the pension shortfall.

Presumably following the motto of a rising tide raises all the ships and they have expressed a preference for their success to be viewed as a success for everyone?

TIL.

This question makes no sense.

Most Windows users are not technical enough to do component upgrades. And yes they get money from new system sales.

Nope Idiocracy is far more optimistic.

Remember, they found our someone was more intelligent so they gave him the job of fixing the country.

Are there starter homes just sitting about, unpurchased because people can't afford them?

I'm not in the US, so I'm a little detached from this but does the US have an issue with house sales at the moment?

I've only heard of buying issues. Why wouldn't this just increase prices by $25k? That's precisely what we witnessed in the UK whenever the government offer assistance, there are always buyers so the market swallows up the extra capital and prices increase to offset.
