I don't think there is an easy or quick solution. I think generations of neglect as almost built a distinct culture in these places where they really don't trust or expect any government to help or even improve the situation.
Personally I think that having opportunities to get out and improve your situation would help.
I'd be looking at free education for people unemployed for certain amounts of time. Or training in a trade of some kind for anybody interested. Give people the belief that their circumstances could vastly improve may be a start.
Argh, and tax the feck outta the supreme rich and redistribute it fairly wouldn't do Labour any harm. |
But part of the problem is that the Reform supporter base believes in lower taxation. They think higher taxes mean they will pay more regardless of whether they are aimed specifically at the richest.
Reform is Truss on speed. Low taxation, no public services. Survival of the richest. Ridiculously it appeals to the poorest when it really shouldn't. |  |

Doing a bit of digging, it looks like the C requirement doesn't come into force until 2030, but as my mother's bungalow is on a slope and has a wooden floor with a gap to the foundations of up to 8 feet, getting it up to a C could well be a costly task. |
The irony is that the measure is actually being brought in not for environmental reasons, but to supposedly save future tenants £100-150 p/a. The reality is that any extra costs incurred by landlords are only going to be passed on to tenants via increased rents anyway.
Blanket measures like this without any real understanding by the politicians involved in introducing them are always liable to unforeseen backlashes. My tenants would save nothing, as the annexe heating/hw comes from the biomass boiler that also serves my part of the house, for which tenants pay a flat fixed rate charge of £100pcm, with a 50% refund in warm/hot months. Yet I’d have to take it off the market, despite 1-bed affordable rentals being a rare resource for single people in this rural area - at least 50 applicants desperate to take it every time it becomes available.
Yes the 2030 date iat least allows reasonable time for those that can be upgraded, but many landlords will have sold their properties by then, fed up with the stress of taking in new regs seemingly every few weeks, none of which do anything to protect them from rogue tenants. |  |

And what thanks did Joseph's offspring get? Over 200 years of slavery, that's what!!! Hashtag Letmypeoplego. |
Unless I am mistaking the 200 years of slavery you are referring to, that's a different Joseph. | |

Yes, it does seem a rather counter-productive. |  | | |

According to Exodus, the Israelites became slaves in Egypt as the new Pharaoh, who didn't remember Joseph, feared their increase in population and power and saw them as a threat, so forced them into slavery for aprox 200 years. | |

And a different Joseph was father to Jesus and took Mary and Jesus to Egypt to flee from Herod. That was the Joseph who was being referenced and lived many centuries later. | |
