sorry, deleted

Hi, I got interested in policies of both labour and conservative. Today I read about so called Garden tax attack from some news paper. I tried to find some balanced view from independent...

If UK does that, we can't put high tax rates on local business(big or small). Instead, it should be a very low tax rate for companies to open business locally and encourage them to hire, then charge a much higher rate to the sellers who sell to UK, but don't bother anything else.

Sorry, I mean corporate. my English still poor after all these years. For the low income people, I think it is hard for them to come up with a big deposit. So ideally rent and try to move into a better job first. I really don't believe labour's economical policy, as the more you tax a company...

Hi, not really sure what you mean. For me, middle classes should be able to afford their own place, for the lower income, it is better to rent. UK indeed has a problem of shrinking middle classes. The rich always can find very smart accountants to move their money and it will be very difficult...

I would say middle class (with two incomes) can afford to buy, not the lowest income though

Just read your link, The basic argument is the NHS has “a lot of money tied up in land and buildings”. I think if they can guarantee that at least 50% houses will be affordable houses, or maybe selling to housing associations, may well be a good idea.

My biggest problem is still Brexit. It is so nice to say that we will be good neighbors to EU and they will also be nice to UK. But if we look at Greece, EU showed no mercy at all and what happened in Greece is real austerity. Greece can't leave EU as it will go bankrupt, also it doesn't even...

Hi Dear wannabeDIY, I voted remain (guess you did that as well), but the result wasn't what I thought should be. So the question is what to do. To run another referandum? It can only trigger more problems and won't solve any issue. To agree on what labor is doing? Say we will end free movement...

Hi kidgreen61 and terryplumb, many thanks. I will give a try.

Hi Dear EFLImpudence and John, I do complain about communism. Back in my university days under communism country, we actually got taught all the theories about communism and how it should benefit the majority, so the society will be for the many, not the few. But the reality is that the...

Not most labour voters, but certainly Mr Corbyn and his close friends. For me, Labour voters are the ones who bought into their ideas, just like I used to be (When I was young, I really believed that publicly owned company will behave better than private ones and public owned land/economical...

As an immigrant myself from old communist country, I just can't trust Corbyn to keep this country safe, which for me is the biggest issue. Talking about his policies, I have my doubts too. As someone from old communist country, communist politicians always promise something gigantic, and ask...

Hi, My toilet is quite hard to flush properly. Sometimes I have to press the handle 3-5 times to flash. I realized that if I put some pressure on the little white float ball (think it is a torbeck-valve) to get bit extra water in, then I always just need to press the handle once and it flash...

fantastic. Many thanks everyone

Hi, As we can see from the attached image, the plate is broken. Is there a way that I can just replace this plate, or I have to replace the whole lock, or even the whole door? Many Thanks

thanks, I will check.

Hi John, If there is something wrong with my tank, it is ok that there is no water from bath's hot tap. However, for cold tap, I think that it should come from the same pipe as the basin and toilet. Am I right to say that?

hi John, Hot supply is not working and there is indeed a tank. How to tell if the bath is tank feed or not? Many thanks

Hi, Somehow there is no water coming from my bath taps. Kitchen tap works and so does the toilet and basin that next to bath. I think that the water comes to bath first and then goes to the washing basin and toilet. I checked the pipe and seems can't see any valves near the bath tap. Get quite...
