UK Politics@feddit.uk•Greens launch local election campaign with focus on housingEnglish
1·14 days agoyes and there won’t be quick progress in removing or avoiding such barriers. housing has been through the fat end of fifty years of privatisation and bubble inflation and the beneficiaries of that will not easily give it up. but they must be told that the value of their investment may go down as well as up, and they’ve been on the up for far too long

1·14 days agoif they get a decent spec job i doubt they mind who eventually gets the handover? but perhaps not, would some or most of them consider it harmful to their prestige to develop a site for council use compared to private?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most transgressive art you enjoy?English
8·17 days agomissed this before i wrote my own reply. yeah john waters in general is fucking great. there’s a line early in his book ‘shock value’ that’s something like ‘to appreciate bad taste you must have extremely good taste’ and i can take some comfort in that
edit: i dug the book out. the actual quote is ‘to understand bad taste one must have very good taste’

3·17 days agoin books, some extreme horror/splatterpunk, i think the bighead by edward lee is the strongest one i’ve read & enjoyed
for films, i’m not that sure where the line is but i like new french extremity (martyrs, inside, irreversible) and that seems to fit the bill
i am soft as shit irl, even boxing can be a bit strong for me. but in fiction i can enjoy artists who describe situations well beyond the normal boundaries of decency. i suppose it’s something like rollercoaster riders or bungee jumpers etc where the immediate natural repulsion is tempered by the security of not being in any actual danger, and i take some sort of satisfaction in that? who knows really. other than horror, pink flamingos is probably the most transgressive film i can think of. i still don’t think i could watch the epilogue scene without looking away
got a mile long blocklist of comms but never block a user account unless the display name is obnoxiously long or full of emojis
no, of course not as long as it’s a genuine effort and not a cynical cash grab (there has been something of a backlash against celebrities knocking out children’s books). so it’s not the producers but the fans of it that come in for criticism. one complicating factor is that in older media children were not taken for idiots. the examples i used as suitable for children (except maybe lord of the rings when perhaps i should have said the hobbit? i’m not familiar) were written specifically for children but who could honestly look down on an adult for enjoying them. whereas if you’re hurtling into middle age and still really into dora the explorer or similar that’s obviously weird. but e.g. twilight? i still think you should have grown out of that but it’s in the grey area

5·17 days agoi suppose they’re not called tories on bikes for nothing. these are local elections so noone really gives a shit but maybe a decent show in may will build some momentum for them. i hope so because i like their housing policy overall, including ending right to buy, reintroducing rent control, increasing new build % of council housing and bringing housing back into council management where possible
HO500 The Green Party believes in the value of public ownership under the control of elected representatives as part of mixed provision for social housing. Council housing and the secure tenure it affords is an essential form of social housing provision. National Government must ensure adequate and good quality council housing stock is retained and provided by every local authority
i work for a council housing dept so am biased but i do really believe that a strong social housing sector is the best way to to start reducing the cost of housing & cost of living overall
i’d like to know this as well but i doubt there can be a definite answer. sometimes you can tell an obvious difference between ‘for children’ and ‘suitable for children’ but it’s not always clear.
personally i’d say e.g. paw patrol, my little pony, harry potter are for children and e.g. the witches, watership down, lord of the rings are suitable for children. but there must be a big grey area rather than a clear divide
