This is a link post 60 MPs promised to vote for a bill to end "revenge evictions" by landlords
But my MP was one of two low lifes that talked the time out, killing the bill.
This is the same person that told the Commons that sex education should be removed from schools.
*despair*

This is a normal post Name and shame
Pleased, but not exactly surprised to see that my MP was on the list of sixty.

This is a normal post Why am I not surprised.
Lose those two and you'll improve the political landscape immeasurably overnight. Throw in Rees-Mogg too and I might actually start to regain a little faith in government.

edit: Just to show I'm not just being anti-Tory, Bob Blackman (of Harrow) made a commendable contribution to the debate.

It just goes to show that certain politicians might be a whole lot more keen to help those in urban or depressed areas if they'd ever get their fat backside off their country seat and spend any time there. Instead, we have a handful of people who seem to want to make things better being drowned out by a somewhat larger number who wouldn't even keep their deposit if it weren't for the colour of their neckwear*.

*I have to believe this; the thought that people actually want the likes of Davies in power is simply too hideous to contemplate.

This is a normal post Of course I'm sure neither had any special interest
Just another depressing nail in these out of touch fucktards. I have had to rent most of my adult life and for years the rental contracts are more and more in the favour of the landlord. I remember the days went the "Rates" now "Council Tax" was always part of your rent. Not now and did my rent ever go down?

This is why renting is this country is a complete disaster as you are treated like scum because you are so poor not to afford your own property. I just want a home and never have one because of the whim of the landlord and you will never get a contract over 12 months to put down roots which they can still go back on and chuck you out. The place is a mess but too scared to complain too much as they will chuck me out. Promises to redecorate next year after year.

This is a normal post I was going to buy a 'buy to rent' place
When I viewed one, it was full of Chinese students who couldnt speak much English. I asked the agent 'how would they be able to transfer so quickly?' He replied 'Two month contract, they'll be out of here by Christmas' This was last year, needless to say, Im fucked if Im going to be part of that fucking circus.

This is a normal post For what it's worth,
I'm going to do what I can to make sure as many people in this area as possible are aware of this. I've seen several posts on FaceBook already (and Shelter have a nice poster about it that I can share) so this is a start. Perhaps some leaflets nearer the election are needed...

This is a normal post " treated like scum because you are so poor not to afford your own property".
I felt like that when I lived in the UK too. And the "agencies" did bugger all once they took your money. I live abroad now, and in Europe owning property isn't as much of an obsession as it seems to be in the UK. There is no stigma in Renting, it's just what people do and the agencies and landlords are less shitty (although like in any market you do get shitty ones sometimes). In the UK, it's almost like a right of passage for many Brits that they must own a house or they have failed at life. This gives the market the "second class" citizen aspect you described and I think helps perpetuate many other related problems.
