Famously the Roman empire never interfered with people's lives and businesses, imposed any taxes, or offered the people any socialist welfare in the form of bread, circuses, etc.

Neil Jackson is reviews editor for the SAHGB, try him (contact should be on website).

You could probably write an amazing alternative history of Britain from the point of view your granddad's bus journey.

Also sad how quickly the Irish in Britain have forgotten it. (A little-noticed aspect of Gordon Brown's career-ending Rochdale encounter).

Oh right, it doesn't even go to councils, fair enough then!

Councils with significant numbers of expensive houses (i.e. London) will be quite happy. Can't see it making much difference to most councils?

Surely buyers have finally realised this now? Always amazed me that so many people blithely bought leasehold without considering the obvious dangers.

Absolutely unbelievable incompetent amateurism from a government otherwise attempting to perform competence to paper over a sinkhole of absent achievement. What's so weird though is that where HE's concerned they seem to want to make things worse overall without even disguising it.

Also, how do they think this benefits students in any way?

Reported another conservation area planning infringement?

Can also be written as 'British citizens who marry foreign spouses better not have any children'?

Civilisation flies over it every 2 minutes in giant metal tubes.

I never really look but it always seems to be high up in google searches, for some reason.

That's because you no doubt are increasingly looked on as a millstone unless you get research time funded by the AHRC, or is that just us?
