So I'll be able to vote for the first time in the election, and I have no idea who I'm going to vote for. May is a test, I can't stand Corbyn and think Labours practically non-existent brexit stance was pathetic. So that only leaves 3rd parties, who have fuck all chance of winning. Great.

They probably won't have enough power to sway debates etc, but the bigger parties are pretty much fighting each other and can't agree most of the time anyway so there's little difference between them.

[QUOTE=BeAR!);52139780]There's absolutely nothing that protects us from landlords[/QUOTE] What is the dps?
[QUOTE=BeAR!);52139780]Housing standards are a joke, and I feel like students especially get shafted Our ceiling has fallen through this year in the kitchen (after we told them multiple times we had a leak), our fridge has broken, radiators are coming off walls, paint is peeling, contractors have left 8 bin bags in our garden, and in general the house is disgusting, despite us cleaning every single day. To top it all off we have contractors and letting agents who come and go as they please without notification. We are attempting to get compensation for negligence and other bullshit, but as you can imagine they are making it extremely hard for us. There's also the worry that if we finally manage to get compensation, they will just take it out of our deposit come the end of the year. There's absolutely nothing that protects us from landlords, and it's heavily weighted in their favor. We had to live for a couple of months, with periods of not having a working shower, hot water, or ability to use the kitchen. The landlord came round and jokingly said we were costing her a lot of money, almost hit the stupid lady, we're the ones living in it and paying you more than its fucking worth. Fucking hate them whenever somebody mentions the word 'landlord' i go into a white flash of rage[/QUOTE] 1) Document everything. 2) Talk to CAB, constant access to the property without notification is extremely illegal. If they're continuing to do it after asked not to, you could get a lot of compensation since it's viewed as intentional harassment. 3) Talk to CAB again, hot water and heating is a key requirement under the Landlord and Tenant Act (1985) - if they haven't organised repairs in a timely manner (and with the right evidence) you could get your rent returned for the whole period. 4) If they try to take it out of your deposit, dispute it with the Deposit Protection Scheme with the aforementioned evidence. It might require you to make a small claims case, but that's extremely easy and CAB can walk you through it. Landlords like this are viewed [i]very[/i] poorly in small claims court, so you'd likely win (especially with evidence). [quote]There's absolutely nothing that protects us from landlords[/quote] That's....really not true at all. It just sounds like you haven't touched any of the resources available to help you?
[QUOTE=BeAR!);52139906]Yup, we do document everything, have spoken to the SU, and are well aware of how illegal all these activities are. Might be worth trying CAB too I guess, but we have lots of work to be doing until next week. I wasn't really looking for advice on the matter but i do appreciate it. I mainly wanted to prove that housing standards are poorly regulated, and that landlords are always going to be better off. I mean, £15 per bin bag you leave and £25 per wall if you have a mark is ridiculous, and the other expenses that come out of your deposit are of a similar ilk. this sounds unintentionally bitchy, sorry[/QUOTE] Oh gotcha, I just didn't get the impression from your post that you'd done anything about it. My bad :)
I've been working on this new map for Garry's Mod. Thought you guys would get a kick out of it! [T]http://img.pixady.com/2017/04/162806_asdsadasd.jpg[/T]

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;52141705]apologies for being crude and offensive, but you're a fucking spesh mate[/QUOTE] I joke around about killing the torries, but I don't mind exaggerating like a fool (kill them all) because... well, I don't see a reason why it'd be a bad thing. I want someone to refute me, to give me clear reasons why it's a bad idea. Give me reasons why the deaths of all Conservatives could be a bad thing, considering how much they fuck the common man. The Torries are a source of much of my ails. It's not like I want dead blues out of revenge (though it'd be nice) but removing them would be nothing but good for the future. A two party system between labour and lib dems would only be an improvement over the fucked state of politics we've got now.

It's no different to sending "jokey" death threats to complete strangers (as seems to be the norm now a days with kids online -then it's all tears in front of their parents when the police come knocking), or "joking" about rape. You need professional help if you think the above is ok (it's also far from a joke...). With all the terrorist activities around at the moment, if you said that in public you'd probably be attacked (then arrested).
