Only if the government decides that's what they want to do!
...and meanwhile for all that time the landlord has debt collection agencies banging on your door - whilst living in the fear that eviction is coming and that there is simply nothing you can do about it unless you are lucky enough to find a job and further income.
You seem to tar all the landlords as bad guys, why, the majority are reasonable people. What is your beef, what proof have you that the thousands of landlords are about to evict all their tenants.
Am I? I don’t think I made any general point - just one highlighting the terrible stresses and worries many of our Fellow citizens are currently living with and fearing. And if there was little risk why did the government even bother having a ban on evictions?
General point, what a load of tosh, you made one of your predictable one size catch all attacks on what the government did. Perhaps they should have done nothing but there again they extended the legislation for another month so you can increase your post count in 30 days time with another unsubstantiated attack.
How can he be held to a manifesto pledge when the whole world has been through an ecconomic mincer. Surely even you must realise that.
I did not attack the government - I said that I hoped they'd reconsider ending the ban on evictions. I then said that if they didn't then that would be their choice to put many people and families at risk of eviction. THAT is what I said.
Well, he should be - until he explains that that manifesto is no longer viable! I'd possibly/probably forgive him for having to do so, but, imo, it would still go down as a broken manifesto pledge! Remember that the Manifesto is, supposedly, a set of promises that forms the basis upon which voters select which party to vote for! If they go back on those promises, there's an argument for the government resigning and calling another election - with an 'adjusted' Manifesto!
You will notice I corrected that typo.
So a World wide pandemic that has put the global economy into chaos needs spelling out on how it will decimate the previous budget plans. We will hear soon enough how we will need to tighten our belts, the timing may not suit some but the Government may just have a few other things on and some rather difficult plans to make rather than apologising to a bunch of pedants that their manifesto needs changing. get real for crying out load.
