#BenJennings on the #UK’s #mortgage crisis – #cartoon | Opinion | The Guardian

There is something fundamentally wrong about landlords asking for money to pay off a mortgage. That means they don't actually own the property and so any rental payment towards the mortgage by a tenant must be seen in law as part payment of the mortgage and hence the tenant earns the a fraction of the property. I'm not an economist nor a lawmaker and so I don't know what the technical issues are but the morality of it is surely better than the current situation.

Such a beautiful thing to witness.

So much for "sponging off the state".

Having been given an exact location, dates, names of attendees, video footage referring to what "allegedly" happened, the Metropolitan Police decides it doesn't have enough evidence to investigate a possible crime.

Blink.

Isn't it supposed to be your damn job to gather said evidence ? Never mind that it's been handed to you on a silver frickin' platter ! Now I get that the police don't want to prioritise retroactively investigating parties that happened under lockdown; I understand that this is hardly the same as pre-mediated murder. But here we're talking about the rule-makers themselves (or at the very least their staff) disobeying measures put in place to ensure public health. How is turning such a wilfully blind eye to this not naked corruption ?
