Interesting, if home ownership is not sought after and BTL is unnattractive, who provides the rental properties?

Just wondering if GDB2222 wished to respond?

Yup, quote what I actually said chuckles

Still amused, by the way. Not cus you got something wrong, but the wriggling afterwards. That's some of the largest scale wriggling I've seen.

Not meaning to barge in, but was it this quote?

Yep, I will take on board your comments, but you are focusing on the Netherlands as one place where possibly legalisation has not worked.

I can simply give you off the top of my head, Amsterdam and the many Czech countries that is HAS worked. Suddenly you have a handful of places where it has worked and one place where it hasn't.

There has to be a reason for the Netherlands not working, I don't know their law inside out, in fact at all. But I would tend to swing towards anything thats tried and tested in life.

So although I can see where you are coming from with the Netherlands, I could simply give you Amsterdam. I wouldn't want to see this country turned into Amsterdam, if I want that, Amsterdam caters for that. But, it has worked, in many more places than it has failed.

Amsterdamn is probably part of Netherlands of something!! But you catch my drift. That is just one person who is stating they don't know whether it's the right track. I could find that for anything, and I'll take it onboard, but I'm not personally convinced for it. Knowing this government they will simply use trafficked women to up their crime figures in this way to show they are cracking down on crime, and personally, I find this new law, which does nothing for the girls and simply makes men guilty and names and shames them even when they didnt know, absolutely appauling, and a massive erosion of our liberties.

I said quote what I said. Bizarely, you chose not to

ISTL has....You'll see I said "Amsterdam probably IS in the netherlands or something".

Bit different to me not knowing, getting it completely wrong, trying to make a t!t out of someone else and making a mountain out of it to try and hide I've only made a t!t of myself isn't it. Its openly saying I'm unsure.

You prefer to make something different of it though, and cling on to it as some major mistake. It's what you do, twist things to suit.
