This is good policy, doing exactly what it was intended to do. It should be rolled out across the UK.
Successful second homes crackdown means homes are £30k cheaper for Cymry, who actually need them.

okay, so, i feel like we need to have a little chat about divorce and what it was like before.

Im going to post this question in case anyone comes across it - from a BBC Focus on Africa podcast; they were talking about Zimbabwe, land redistribution and sanctions.
The question is - is this an accurate account? I have no reason to doubt it and the quick search I’ve done since suggests it is

Thank you - probably a mistake to mess with Mr Grant in his specialist field of music publishing and intellectual property. As you say, it is indeed #ringbangtime.
Not Türkiye-related but something for those of my followers who like to keep abreast of what Eddy Grant’s up to. #ringbangtime www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
