   The private rented sector accounts for 14% of the Welsh housing stock.

   And 90000 people on waiting lists for government provided housing.

   The left always use names like Rent Smart to hide their ideological hatred of private provision of anything. One might have thought a policy that encouraged more private landlords to supplement public housing would have been a more accurate use for that title.

   Sweden Bans Non-Woke Funds From $90 Billion Pension Pot (18 Mar)

   The woke superannuation finds have been faceplanting, the non-woke ones that invest in oil and coal are romping it. Can’t have that, Greta would be angry.

   The spokesperson said it would “count as evidence of continuous professional development in relation to training requirements to become licensed/re-licensed to let and manage rentals in Wales”.

   So it’s mandatory if you want to use your property to make a quid.

   Are there any non-shithole countries left?

   The aim is to make Wales the friendly pro-LBGT.. nation.
   Could the people rebel and prove Waugh wrong about the Welsh.

   Another dismal failure of 13 years of so called conservative government. In 2010, on forming government, one of the first things they should have done is to renege on devolution. Instead, after 13 years, under Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and now Sunak, nothing was done to rein in or backpeddle on Blair’s disastrous governance, be it on devolution, immigration, social issues and all the rest. It can be safely said that Tony Blair destroyed the UK. And what happens when you do nothing? You reap what you sow. Devolution has been a disaster for the union.

   This is the problem with right of centre government across the Anglosphere (except one, Donald Trump, who’s probably about to be charged). On winning elections and assuming office, they do sweet FA. We’ve seen it here in Oz too, from 2013 to May 2022, and across all state Liberal government, all they do is carry on the left’s agenda.

   I think England should call their bluff and kiss Wales and Scotland goodbye. Let them wallow in their own progressive mud. Let them die.

   Hmmmm. Which fails to explain Albo and Burney’s 5 rental properties apiece (no doubt attracting market rent) nor the 95% of leftists with their kids at non-govt schools, nor the same using private hospitals….. and spending up big at privately-owned restaurants, bars, resorts etc etc etc.

   The reality Buccy is that they oppose the plebs using these privately-owned things. What would these leftists say if the plebs invaded their VIP airport lounges or VIP marquees at the races? Call security to turf em out no doubt.

   Think any commie state. The plebs get the govt-built shytebox Trabants while the Elites make do with the latest Mercedes from across the border. Repeat buccy: “Leftists elites are NOT anti-private property at all.

   BTW: One more time ; Lenin’s mum visits him at St Petersberg where he’s living in the lap of luxury in the Tsar’s former Palace. “It’s great my boy, how well you’ve done…but what if the Bolsheviks find out?”

   As if there is such a thing as “anti-racism training.” You either discriminate against people on race or you don’t. No training is going to change that

   It follows that there is already an actual qualification in being a Trainer of ‘anti-racism’, and a qualification in being a Trainer of ‘hate-crime’ (as the headline has it). There must already have been the formation of a new sacerdotal caste which has discerned a higher-calling for examining the inner lives of the likes of landlords and in turn training them along the right doctrinal path. Not enough that behaviour and assets are monitored for lawfulness by the courts and by a tax office. It’s not the mere shunning of criminality but states of intentionality and the inner life and free will that remain to be made amenable to the priestly ministrations of a Trainer caste.
