Armed with only a solar charger, a vibrator and some marijuana gummy bears, I rode out the pandemic – and my fear of spiders – in a California commune

That’s not how I read it. They are careful to say it has been left empty for five years without indicating who left it empty. Either way, I have no sympathy
Says they'll halve the poll tax if the owners actually tell the council they're renovating and planning to move in. I'm still erring on the side that they're probably second/third/fourth home buyers though, looking for a nice little ruin down in Cornwall. Certainly looks in better nick than my place fwiw

Don’t think the picture is of the actual property

You’d have thought they’d have discovered this themselves. They’ve probably bought a few properties and haven’t been attentive to the paperwork
I don't think there's any need to make up things to be cross at - they don't print every word of the letters they receive in these advice columns, only enough to outline the problem to the readers. The advice is to someone who's recently bought a ruin, so you can assume that's the case here. There certainly isn't enough information for you to assume the opposite.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Know someone in a not too dissimilar situation. They bought a bungalow (not in Cornwall though) planning to completely do it up and then move into it selling their original house and retiring. Because the house was unoccupied and being renovated, they got a 50% discount on the council tax on it for 1 or 2 years whilst they did it. Alas for them the lurgy derailed their renovation plans somewhat and it's now classed as empty so they're paying a mortgage and double council tax on a house that they're not living in.

The trick is to "demolish" it and then it's no longer taxable until it becomes a "new build".
no, nobody has, hence the consolidation of the supplements. physical newspapers are basically dead.

Observer rather than Guardian, but whatever. This is the front page today:
"We must end the hatred aimed at our MPs" they say, then they go and illustrate it with that picture.
I hate both of those fuckers with a burning passion and I feel totally justified in doing so.
Johnson has drifted through his privileged life leaving tens of thousands dead, leading a government of corruption without a care or consequence.
Starmer lied to become the leader of his party and is now working hard to destroy Labour by turning it into the Lib Dems.
What am I supposed to feel looking at them? Respect? Deference? Awe?
Fuck them. I'm fine hating those cunts.

The basis of his leadership campaign was 10 pledges, including common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; strengthening workers rights and trade unions; and providing “forensic” opposition to the government. He has arguably broken all of them already, depending on what it is that focus groups tell him to believe today, and has said he is willing to break them all if it makes him "electable".
Fucking prick.

Yeah I'm sure we'll get much better MPs if we hate and stab the existing ones enough.

Least noticed poster 2007
plus saying he was going to unify the party, which he clearly knew at the time was a lie
eta: although I suppose he is doing in a way by expelling the left wing
Many people willing voted for the Starmer lies and delusions though. I remember twattering about it at the time of the leadership election, and people who were stridently pro-Corbypoos told me in no uncertain terms that the great kneeling-before-the-Queen knighted Dowager Lord Sir Starmer Esq. hadn't really been captured by the elite and was a socialist in champagne clothes.
The sad realpolitick reality is Labour would never exist as a single party under any more proportional system, and a few socialist crumbs delivered by a Blairite is probably the best the hardworking majority will ever get.

This reminds me of a line from the film Still Crazy, about a washed-up rock band trying to reform long after the death of their most talented members.
Singer: It's not cos they're great, it's cos they're dead! Maybe if I was dead I'd get some respect around here!
Bassist: It would be a start.
E2a, for the tape: Joking. Stabbing MPs won't help. Please don't
