Resolved Question: Council House Question?
Me and the bf have been on the waiting list for a while and we're close to getting a house now. The only reason we're entitled to a 2 bedroom is because his son stays one night every 2 weeks. He said if we ever split up im to move out immediatly and he and his once a fortnight son get the house to themselves and he doesn't have to move out. He also wants me to contribute to new furniture and decor for the house. But after him saying the above my feelings are, well if its not going to be my house if we split why should I invest half towards it? I know I'd be staying there as well but his answer to every argument is fine its over leave and now he has his own place he would probably just kick me out. Both names will be on a tenancy agreement though. What are my rights in the house and also what are your opinions on the money spending? Am I just being selfish? Also would I be entitled to a council house if he kicked me out or would I be homeless again? I'd contribute to rent and stuff i am the main breadwinner, So if we split I wouldn't be entitiled to any help, but he could just stay in the house and get the benefits? That really sucks :( BTW he wouldn't leave the house if we split he'd drive me out one way or another, and even said 'well it'd be awkward if i started bringing dates home and women around wouldn't it' I agree rt hon, but thats the council for ya! Ian K, he'd never go for that at all. he seems to think that because its a two bedroom, him and his son get priority if we split up. (more...)

Resolved Question: Councils had millions of our money spare to invest in Iceland,shouldn't they reduce our tax accordingly?
Councils are always pleading poverty yet were able to invest millions of our cash in the failed Icesave bank which obviously means that we are paying far too much tax in the first place. (more...)

Resolved Question: Do you think municipal banking would work?
I've just seen a report that Birmingham City Council is thinking about going into banking. They invest Council funds that would otherwise go down the drain somewhere in a private bank director's bonus, or some marketing image consultant, and lend it instead to well-run honest local businesses to keep them afloat when the only reason they are going down is that they cannot get any cash flow from private banks. Similarly they can lend it to householders, but on condition that they are likely to pay it back - no more than three times annual earning lent. No nonsense about futures and leverage and bonuses and options. Just lending in the public interest, and if they get it wrong, then there is hell to pay at the next election. (more...)

Resolved Question: I am moving out at 18 (after christmas) Are these good idea's of money saving?
16 now anyway here are my idea's... Before I move out: 1) Invest £15 in one of those coca cola bottles and save all my 2's 1's 5's 10's and 20's for 2 months (if your american i suppose it is things like quaters... anyway loose change. 2) I have a £1 coin (bout $2) savings tin. Evreytime I buy something... say it cost £3.00 pay in a £5 note so I automatically get £2 to chook in there.. 3) Work on my dad... He says things like "You wont beable to afford to live alone" he says "If I had the money id help u on your way" Maybe I could talk him into letting my board me cheaper (wud be £100, hoping to lower it to £50. 4) Change all the 2's and 1's when bottle is full (holds about 1k in 1p(2 cents) coins lol. 5) Work overtim were possible, so I can get even more money. 6) I will be getting £525 before im 18 as a starting wage (at 18 it will go up to well over £1000). Maybe I could save £300 out of that and throw it into my savings account? 7) learn not to be so soft and say "No" when ppl wanna borrow my money for stupid things 8)When I have my £100 of spends.... whatever don't get spent that month throw it back into the fund. (I gotta spend a lil, treat myself for hardwork n stuff) When I have moved/about to move: 1) save up(and budget) through the year and pay bills anually (what can be) tv license, moped insurance, MOT, Council tax. possibly internet connection. 2) Budget well and don't let things exceed (give or take £10) electric - £40 gas - same internet - £18 council tax - £80 ( saved) and all the other bills etc obv rent cant be paid like tht Please go through each thing I have stated and put. either: Good idea - explain why here or Not good idea - explain why here. I appreiate your time. Please do not say things like "your too young" or stuff like that ive been planning this since about 14 years old now Btw. £100 in board = 2100 within 21 months. That would make a nice lil emergency fund for 4 month 1st poster - I want to go it alone, even if I struggled a bit. 2nd poster - thanks :) I really want people to say "good idea" or "bad idea" on each of the 1) 2) 3) so on son statements I put fuck me last poster were do you live? around £350 for a HOUSE were I live in rent. £2 a week council tax? serious ours is more like £20 :O electric and gas r like 40 each. ok 5th poster... whatever you say. Our crisis isn't as bad as the usa's though and the job im getting hardly gets a redundency rate... healthcare assitant. Not seen a single reduncy in over 4 care homes yet. btw your answer is hardly helpful it would make people want to move more just ot prove you wrong incase u wanted to know (more...)

Resolved Question: What do you all make of this then, 1 year on and things have got worse.?
Britons have worst state pension in EUBy SEAN POULTER Last updated at 22:08 12 November 2007 ( Daily Mail ) Millions of Britons are being condemned to poverty in old age by the worst state pension in the EU, a study shows. The basic state pension of £90 a week is equivalent to just 16 per cent of the average wage, it found. This figure rises to 30 per cent once pension payments related to earnings are taken into account. But this is still only half the EU average of 60 per cent, the financial firm Aon Consulting said. Its study concluded: "The inadequacy of the state system is beyond question." Charities including Help the Aged warn the problem has been made worse because the state pension has failed to keep pace with increases in the cost of essentials such as heating, water, and council tax. A recent study found a quarter of pensioners are having to cut back on basics to survive. Until recently many British workers could rely on private pensions such as final salary schemes. However, many of the most generous schemes have been replaced by deals requiring higher monthly payments in return for a smaller pension. In addition, the study said a "spate" of banking scandals and crises had damaged confidence in the private pension system. As a result, Britons are not investing in private pensions on the scale needed to make up for the state system's failings. The average age of retirement in Britain - 62.6 - is also above the EU average of 61. Some 57 per cent of Britons aged between 55 and 64 are in paid employment. Aon found the value of Britain's state pension for a single person is 30.8 per cent of the average wage. This figure is 32.5 per cent in Ireland, 39.9 per cent in Germany and 51.2 per cent in France. The most generous state pension is offered by Greece, where the figure is 95.7 per cent. Aon said Britain's ageing population is reliant on young immigrants to boost the number of workers, generating taxes to fund pensions. But it stressed this was not a longterm solution to the pensions crisis. The firm's chief actuary, Donald Duval, said: "Migrant workers have helped boost the pension pot in the UK to mitigate against its demomeal-graphic problems but this is not a sustainable measure. It is a smokescreen hiding deeper issues facing the pension system. "More needs to be done to restore confidence in private schemes so as to drive an increased level of contributions. People cannot afford to rely on the state pension, which remains the lowest in Europe. "The 2005 Turner Report on the future of pensions concluded that the ageing population left the UK with four choices: lower pensions, higher retirement ages, higher member contributions or higher taxes. "Assuming that the first is unacceptable, some combination of the latter three needs to be encouraged." A spokesman for Help the Aged said: "Pensioners are resorting to strategies such as buying cut-price food that is nearly out of date. "Increasingly the poorest pensioners are turning to friends and family to help them out. "Debt agencies are also reporting an increase in the number of older people who have borrowed money they can't repay. "Simple things like going out for a meal or inviting people to your home become impossible. Holidays are completely out of the question, while people have to cut back on hobbies and social events." The Government plans to restore a link between rises in earnings and rises in the basic pension by 2012. However, this will be part of a package that will also raise the retirement age from 65 in 2024 to 68 by 2050. Read more... One million pensioners eating less to pay heating bills The Government should ignore some of the money pensioners receive from private schemes to encourage more Britons to save towards their retirement, a report suggests. The Pensions Policy Institute said many are afraid to invest in private schemes because they would lose means-tested state benefits. The research charity suggested the Government should therefore disregard the first £12 a week someone receives from a private pension when calculating their state benefits. This would allow someone to have a pension fund worth £6,000 before it affected their means-tested benefits. (more...)

Resolved Question: Will we (Britain) be able to put on a good show for the 2012 Olympics ?
or is it a disaster waiting to happen ? If we will be putting on a good show, will it be anything as good as what the Chinese did in Beijing 2008 ? Does anybody actually give a t@ss about the Olympics ? especially we Londoners, are we REALLY that bothered ? seriously though, its all pants innit ? I mean for starters London is over populated and highly crime ridden, and then we got a laughable transport system, recently been voted as the rudest capital on earth (born n raised in this over rated capital, I have experienced first hand and bared the brunt of London rudeness. I can attest to this fact) and who knows where we'll be by 2012, maybe Abu Hamza will be knighted or made mayor of our 'great capital'. Sigh. I think its best if we don't speak about it (the Olympics) as if its a monumental feat, be sure to council any noob out there who jumps up in joy @ this silly concept. The Olympics are big, these are big things that should be left alone for the big boys. We should stick with the commonwealth games and entertain bands and artists to perform at wembely and cardiff - and invest more time in tackling crime and terrorism. Billions of £££ going into the olympathetics 2012, when we could be beefing up the support for our troops by providing them the right gear to do their job more efficiently. Are you hopeful or are you skeptical about how good the Olympics will be held, staged and the performances our athletes contribute ? P.S please please please, have your say on this (my other olympics question) " Touch my bum, this is life ? Official Song for London 2012 Olympics ? " should this legendary song, by the Cheeky Girls be our official 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony song ? http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqMwWtlMA0YsOy5tf9bF_LUgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20081107220218AAkOrkS (more...)

Any ideas?? (more...)

Resolved Question: Is Britain bullying Iceland?
I do. Gosh I feel so terrible about whats happening. Our PM Gordon froze the accounts using anti-terror legislations, can you believe that?! And they don't even have an army! Are we being bullies? It's partially our fault because our stupid councils were warned about the dangers of investing in Icelandic banks. Anyway what do you think? Jamesdean20002uk I agree with your business thing because I thought the same way but then I realised that isn't that the reason why so many people hate American foreign policy? Because it's so incredibly greedy and selfish. But yeah... I suppose your right. I suppose what's really anoying me is the use of the anti-terror laws. Thanks keep your opinions coming people!
