FFS We must get rid of this Government are they sane? Which buffoons are advising them now?

Here's another .. CBE given to anti-terror chief Andy Hayman, in command of the disastrous Forest Gate raid.

And another ...HOUSE-SELLERS face being forced to pay for a second £800 home information pack if they take their property off the market, even for only a month, it emerged last night... BTW projected at £800 a throw now - more to come on that !!
The Council of Mortgage Lenders threw the policy into further confusion by stating that it would expect home condition reports, the main part of the packs, to be updated every three months irrespective of whether a property had been taken off the market.

Oh my god ...
....The government will press ahead with plans to put patients' medical records online in spite of complaints about privacy, cost and the slipping timetable, ministers said yesterday.

Absolute carp ... another money pit.

Aye up !
Trooping the colours?
Think of the bears brutally shot to death for their fur coats ?? .......
In the past five years alone, 494 of those pelts have been sold at a cost of £321,000 to a long-standing customer of the Canadian fur industry - the British Ministry of Defence.

Never mind the equipment for war .. think of the important stuff !!

Stop press.

This news found following the previous post ..

House selling packs 'to cost £1,000' and that was after 20 mins phewww!

....If the home is off the market for more than 28 days, the pack will have to be updated, involving more expense.
The scheme's opponents also fear that some people could face bills of many thousands of pounds if they try to sell property without a pack, or HIP.
There will be a fine of £200 a day for any property that is on the market without one, even if it is advertised on a private website or simply by a board in the garden. A Law Society survey last month showed that most people had never heard of the packs.
They will contain a mini survey, called a home condition report, searches and a report detailing the energy efficiency of the building.
However, Nick Salmon, a London estate agent who runs the anti-HIP pressure group Splinta, said that most buyers would still commission their own survey.
"A home condition report paid for by the seller raises conflict of interest issues," he said. "In Denmark, where they have had the packs for 10 years, 80 per cent of buyers have their own survey done."

Here we go, round the revenue flow !! The mornings may grow frostier !

Nah, revenoo scam as always .... I cannot see myself spending a huge sum of money on the back of the 'sellers' report... Feels wrong somehow.
Maybe when the bugs are ironed out or the cost becomes so horrendous that one just cannot afford the duplication ...
Anyone notice this ...

Has the Bank of E got an issue with GB? I bet they shove interest rates up just before he is handed the coronet .... Then we'll how popular he is.
