"We now find ourselves in a situation where one in every 21 adults in the UK is a landlord. We have four times as many landlords as teachers. As a consequence, virtually everyone struggles to afford a home that meets their needs despite a net gain in housing stock."
As a famous philosopher once said, landlords create nothing of value for the economy or society. They're pure parasites, and the state should stop them. That philosopher was Adam Smith. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/19/end-of-landlords-surprisingly-simple-solution-to-uk-housing-crisis

mutual aid, very urgent
hi hello
so I'm normally notified by my local council about tax I have to pay, it tends to fluctuate a bit despite benefits. but this month I couldn't log into the site until recently and I didn't get any notification until today and it's due to come out automatically on the 15th; it's the 12th as I'm writing this so I would extremely appreciate the help making sure I have that in my bank before I get into an unarranged overdraft.
additionally I need help topping up my electricity meter as it has gotten concerningly low.
the council tax payment is Β£60, and I need around Β£50 for electricity, so Β£110 in total. lost my job earlier this month too so this suddenly happening extremely sucks lmao
Β£0/Β£110
