I suppose we must be grateful for small mercies. You seem very willing to comment on almost everything else.

For the avoidance of any doubt, not that it’s either anybody else’s business or that it will be remembered or even acknowledged by certain posters, the only legal case I have been involved in as a landlord was to request possession from someone who hadn’t paid rent for over 6 months. That case never proceeded because the tenant died, leaving the debt and a mess. The £10,000 I am still fighting for, as has been explained before, has nothing to do with any property. The “legal finding” wasn’t in court. It was by the Valuation Tribunal. An experience I don’t recommend as the whole system of property valuation is ludicrous, unfair and archaic.

So whatever happened in the local court had nothing to do with me. I therefore hope these silly, juvenile and snide personal remarks will stop and a return can be made to the subject of each thread.

Why are you surprised at them believing it?

Everything Trump has said or done encourages such beliefs.

The real question is not whether he might want to. It’s how much he might try to, given that he needs others to follow his orders to achieve them and they might well refuse. The forces of law and order would not permit themselves to be used against the people.

If, God forgive, Trump did win a second term one thing is for sure. It’s going to be very messy. Warning about that in extreme terms makes perfect sense. The world cannot afford another 4 years of Trump. The first were more than enough.

It's not going to work out for the Democrats.

When one set of elites goes after the other that's the start.

I know republicans are lining up their own legal stuff now.....both presidents are running to stay out of jail....kind of amusing.

Regardless, things will be juicey after this election whoever wins it.

I was talking about the UK system of property valuation which decides which band a property is placed on using notional 1991 values. Even if the property was finished yesterday. It’s those bands which determine the amount of council tax you pay.

Not Trump’s attempt to overvalue his properties when obtaining loans. Values he just invented. Not based on any kind of objective assessment at all.

This is hyperbole

However

The fact both sides have no credible candidates under grandfather time age is a sad indication of the malaise within our society as a whole.

How do we not have two younger candidates than the geriatric trump and Biden with fresh ideas, impetus and vigour. Absolute hinterland

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

I just hope Trump does do what the Democrats are claiming he will. Sadly I think, just like last time, he will prove a disappointment but we can live in hope.
