Living in a house that you own isn't "expensive", is it? The trouble with the "just move somewhere else and downsize" argument is that it does involve huge expense, not least Stamp Duty. Also, it is a known that moving can be one of the most stressful events in life. Any argument

Brexiters do not care whether the EU breaks up or not. It was about our independence. That is all.
Much of the stress in our union can be traced to devolution driven by the EU regional strategy that bypasses national governments. Go well.

Another well known scam was for two people to take trolleys into a Bootle supermarket & to pick identical shopping lists. One would pay and leave but send a waiting child into the store with the receipt in case the other shopper was stopped as they exited without paying.

Rachel, Many people deride the Tory Party for having shifted so far to the liberal left that it has lost its claim to be a centre right party. As the Tories obliterated the LibDems and mauled Labour at the last election, those people may have a point. Do you agree?

Going equipped for burglary - is a crime
Possession of drugs with intent to supply - is a crime.
Drunk in charge of a vehicle even if not driving - is a crime.
Being a known pain in the bum, showing up at a Coronation with 200 sq m of placards etc - should of course be a crime!

I've done fire drill exits from many buildings including 30 storeys. If ever there was a real fire driving people, there would be panic and piles of dead bodies in the stair wells stopping others getting down. That's why the advice was to stay put. And there's no alternative.
