letters: landlords and housing benefit - ess energy storage system

The policy of the Labor government is to encourage everyone with excess cash to enter the "buy-to-
Make the market an amateur landlord.
This led to an inevitable rise in real estate prices across the UK, creating a sustainable real estate "boom" market because of desperate first
At that time, buyers received mortgage loans worth more than 125 of the property.
Over the past decade, housing prices have continued to soar, resulting in a situation that is now considered a "housing crisis", resulting in affordable property prices and the inability of millions of homeowners and potential homeowners to buy and sell, can't move home.
At the same time, private rents are rising with "market value" and as more and more tenants are unable to pay for their housing, it is public funds that pay for it.
Most privately leased housing is a "guaranteed short term lease", a contractual arrangement that gives the landlord the right to take back ownership of the property at the end of the fixed lease period, usually no more than six months
If the tenant wants to extend the agreement, the landlord can increase the rent;
Tenants have no choice but to apply to increase their housing benefits.
This public money goes directly into the pocket of a private landlord and is not good for tenants except for providing accommodation for the homeless.
The grim fact is that housing benefits have been out of control for many years, which is commensurate with the rise in real estate prices in the UK, this makes it almost impossible for anyone with an average income to get a decent affordable property to buy or rent in most parts of the UK. Christie Elan-
Cane, London SE16I is confused by the one-sidedness of the attack on the proposal to limit housing benefits.
Critics of the proposed cap seem to believe that the rental charged is not flexible, and of course the entire rental market is maintained by the injection of £ 20 housing benefits into the market.
In fact, isn't it because of the high government support for the system that the cost of rent has been artificially maintained at a high level, and the adjustment of the rent rate should have been made long ago?
In this case, the upper limit of the proposal seems to be a rather mild suggestion.
Brian Moore, exeter, there is no need for people to lose their homes due to reduced housing benefits.
Rent control is a fair way to ensure this.
Many people, including myself, were lucky enough to have a spare house for rent and set the rent on any housing benefits.
There is no reason to charge again.
It wasn't until recently that I thought everyone would do that.
Last Friday, I bought a euro lottery ticket for 2 pounds at a local supermarket, hoping I could have a winner to supplement our pension.
There, I found three guys that I never knew the name, but on my workday, I met them occasionally on "local.
They just bought 200 packs of cigarettes each.
I caught up with them and everyone was carrying a trolley full of beer and beer.
I asked them if they had a party.
They pointed out that they were going to their apartment for Halloween on Saturday.
"Things are getting better," I said with a smile . "
Then I received an invitation to join them and I had to refuse.
They encouraged me and boasted: "We didn't pay for it, it's all from our interests, and we 've brought those interests together in the last few weeks.
"I remember they were on the relief, but they said the system had changed and they were removed from the relief but transferred to other welfare systems to give them more money, pay rent.
I hope they enjoy their party at the expense of us.
Terry andy Connell (Terry Duncan bus service in Bridlington, East Yorkshire)
Letter October 26)
This is not correct for the source of revenue for the bus company.
I now get only 30 p to 70 p compensation for every £ 1 bus fare saved by the bus company.
Many services are being canceled, and in some cases passengers are paid to offset the loss of the pensioner.
Bus companies make typical profits for ordinary companies, but politicians, especially those in West Yorkshire, are foolishly thinking they are making huge profits.
In fact, with more regulations, a reduction in fuel tax rebates and a shortage of free travel compensation, bus companies are being squeezed strictly.
I'm lucky to live in a city area with good bus service, but in most parts of the UK, pensioners may soon not have a bus to use their pass.
For example, next summer, people without cars will be excluded from many national parks due to bus cuts.
In most parts of the UK, buses are our only tool to reduce traffic congestion and transport carbon emissions, and we can see from their policies, most politicians are completely disingenuous when talking about these issues.
If the bus is withdrawn and the staff are laid off, all positive elements of the bus pass will be meaningless.
Ray Wilks, Shipley ome correspondent in West Yorkshire, said people who don't have a car mainly use a bus pass.
In my area, the bus during the day is used very well by the car
Having a pensioner like me, for them, it is very easy to choose between a free bus trip and a split refueling stop.
As they say now, it is "no" to go downtown by bus
Brainer ", the owner of the city's shops and cafes, is very grateful for the extra business and the cash coming up that would have been spent on bus fares or gasoline.
The bus pass made everyone win: Passengers, bus companies, shopkeepers, drivers, they found the road quieter and found more available parking spaces, municipal taxpayers who enjoy a slightly cleaner atmosphere for residents to benefit from more income.
There may be reasons to expand the scope of free or cheap bus travel.
Is Nottingham provocative or debating?
Julie Burchill's column "poor Lauren Booth-she will do anything to fit into the hard kids "(27 October)
There were two debates, one was real and the other was illusory.
The latter is a debate about whether she said there was a problem.
Of course, the answer to these actions is yes ".
She ignored all kinds of views and backgrounds in Islamic Thought (
Now and historically)
, Treating its followers as bullying "tough kids," who uniformly enact "oppression, torture and murder thousands of Christians, gays and brave women" worldwide every year ".
But this is an illusory debate.
Anyone can overdo it for a long time
A simple "tell it like this" statement about a large collective (
Affiliates of World Religions, citizens of the state, members of any gender)
Anger.
But this is not particularly meaningful.
The more substantive debate triggered by Julie Burchill's column is about the nature of the debate itself in papers like The Independent.
Meaningful debates involve people who are likely to really disagree but have decent information and are aware that the world is complex.
The comprehensive statements and personal insults provided in Julie bourchell's column do not constitute this.
David tolllerton, Bangor, Gwynedd bomb: too much information, why does our security organization seem to be helping with the operation of terrorists?
To keep the public informed of the bomb plot in Yemen, it seems that we have not only told the perpetrators what equipment was intercepted (
They may have sent more than two)
Where they were found.
Reveal how far they have advanced in their journey)
Intelligent sharing, rather than monitoring devices or security checks, prompts their detection (
Help manage terrorist activities).
All of this free information is very interesting for terrorists;
It seems to me that we all tend to place too much emphasis on giving the public an unnecessary and detailed understanding of our approach to combating terrorism.
Lawrence Williams, Thetford, NorfolkI had to wonder about the common-
First of all, the feeling of the latest bomb package on the plane.
Yemen, the country of origin, does not have a large electricity or electronic manufacturing industry and has a large export business, so any packaging with wires or electronic products may be considered suspicious, and it was easy to detect at first.
Next, consider the actual content of the bomb package: printer cartridges.
The equipment is made in the Far East and is cheap in stores here, especially in the United States.
So who is willing to spend the money to air a low-cost item that was previously imported from Yemen to the United States?
Shipping and handling fees will definitely be higher than in the US.
Am I missing something, or is there something missing from the air transport authorities?
Dave Simms Davies, Marlow, buckin County badger shooting can be human RSPCA citing our report to Defra on the feasibility of shooting as a badger population control tool (
"Badger Shooting is cruel," said RSPCA, October 29)
But ignored its conclusion.
As stated in the report, the report states that the badger is structurally different from other species, such as deer and foxes, which are normally controlled by shooting.
However, after reviewing the data on the target frequency and range and the trajectory, we did not see that properly trained operators have no reason to fail to achieve the same humanization as typical in deer or fox control
Compared to cages
We conclude that shooting is also an effective way to reduce the density of badgers.
However, we do suggest that this is an expert task, and if badger control is considered necessary, it is recommended to explore small-scale shooting while monitoring human nature, before committing to a wider range
Scale implementation.
This will give the RSPCA the assurance that it clearly feels the need.

I can say that as a woman in her 60 s, I am very happy that Ann wedkube took part in the dance in a strict sense.
I look like Anne because I am short and fat and really look like my age.
I can't get over my shame and guilt because I don't have the charm and "bending" that feliciti Kendall is, nor is it as strong, soft and sexy as Pamela Stephenson, two six-year-olds, if not Ann reminds us that women have all kinds of shapes and sizes, we don't need to divert attention from less peoplethan-

It was noted that the government encouraged parents to interpret terms such as "satisfaction" and "unfinished" in the Ofsted report as "barely passed" and "OK ".
He suggested that it should be explained to ministers that not everything can be above average.
But how can the public understand this when half of the public's intelligence is below average?

McCarthy and Terrance Black (
Viewspaper, October 29)
The hope is to defend a "sense of untouchable loneliness" by claiming that the wind farm "professes the scenery" or "destroys the lives of people living nearby ".
The blacker even thought that part of the wooded farmland and the sky of East Anglia would somehow disappear.
I can ask, who is lonely, who is the scenery?
The countryside we see today is completely artificial.
The changing patterns of ownership and the industrialisation of agriculture have made us far from the continuous forest world of our ancestors, with some open space.
No, poor man, you may not go to the edge of your village and cover the local forest with fuel and building materials.
You can't eat grass in the woods, or you can eat grass on the rest of the land.
You can't clean up a forest, build a small house, and make a living by burning charcoal.
But comfort yourself that you can go live near the dark satanic factory and hope to have a job where the middle class will feel lonely while walking along the few remaining rights --of-

Graham Perkins, Milton Keynes's goal is out of reach. Your main report in October 28 pointed out that the government's goal in renewable energy could not be achieved.
The regional differences between onshore wind power capacity have been significant, which largely reflects the planning issues you have highlighted. South-
Scotland has only British Land in the West, with 27 of the UK-approved wind farm.
On the other hand, the southwest of England, which has twice the land and better wind resources, is only 1 cent.
The main factors required to maximize the efficiency of wind power generation
The geographic distribution of wind power plants is as wide as possible.
This has not happened at all and will increasingly limit the amount of wind energy that can be effectively integrated into the grid.
If we stumble like we are now, we will be lucky to reach the 5 cents of wind energy contribution by 2020.
We are currently at 2. 5 per cent.
With a broader approach, including some of the first emphasis on energy storage, we may be getting closer to the wind.
More ideas are cloud
Cuckoo land-no matter how many wind turbines you set up.
Three years ago, I was the chairman of the planning committee of the North Somerset committee.
I was invited to attend a civil service training seminar in Tauton on how to evaluate applications for wind farms.
We watched a movie that included the Persian Castel flood as an example of the effects of global warming.
Some of us wonder if these floods are different from the linmouth floods 50 years ago.
Experts have never heard of early floods.
We got an exercise that included five 400ft turbines, taller than the tip of the tower at Salisbury Cathedral, which can be built within a beautiful natural landscape.
When their impact on the landscape increased, we were told to set up a hedge around the turbine.
Maybe 400ft high hedge?
As local MPs now know that experts are talking rubbish, these applications have been rejected.
