Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
Playing devils advocate i dont live in social housing and often disagree with the government or drive but what if they suspended similar buildings improvement programs or some other insentives till they stop it.
I am sure they could come up with something to capture the protestors attention

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
I thought the idea was that they were for people who struggle to afford housing? I imagine he earns plenty.

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
My experience of social housing was during the period 1965-1974 only. I loved it.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 11:20 am How many of your houses are social housing then Max?
Currently I own only one home. It is a lovely property at the top of the hill in an exclusive village where the social housing is located down the hill. They seem to be happy down there but I don't go there that often so can't be sure.

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
Social housing can, and should, have a part to play in our overall housing strategy. And it should not just be seen as an option only for people on very low incomes. It can act as an effective counter-weight to a lop-sided private market.
Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
Agreed - when the message is as blatant as "I want my home insulated and I want somebody else to pay for it" there's no need whatsoever to attack the messenger.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:42 amStandard approach - don’t like the message, attack the messenger.
This is such an obvious one, it shouldn’t even be up for debate. All homes should be properly insulated.

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
But that’s not what he’s saying, is it. He’s saying he wants all homes insulated.
Fancy trying to argue against that.

But he's not got around to doing his, despite having enough money and time to organise a protest.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 11:40 am But that’s not what he’s saying, is it. He’s saying he wants all homes insulated.

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
This is correct. Providing cheap housing to people with a decent income frees up income that they can spend consuming things and so the economy rolls on.
This was my experience when I lived in social housing but it only works if there are well paid jobs.

The purpose of Insulate Britain is here guys. Not sure they could make it much simpler, you should be able to follow it.

Skint. Too busy out protesting about saving the planet to worry about it.

Did you not see the post above about attacking the messenger rather than listening to the message?

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
Yeah, but he’s made himself look a proper tit
Basically what RH said. I don’t disagree with the group’s aims but this dunce is terrible for their image

Re: Insulate Britain M25 protest
If he’d come out and said he can’t afford to insulate his home I’d have more respect for him - the cost of being green is a massive problem and most the population don’t earn enough to justify such a lifestyle

Not surprised the house hoarding boomers are supportive of getting free upgrades to their gaff
