    There are a lot of strawmen / ladies in this forum then ;)

    I think that you’ll find that the politically correct term is people of straw and the internet is full of them,.

    She wants the Government to step in and help her and other struggling BTLers. Otherwise thousands stand to be made homeless as new build flats are repossesed. A commendable sentiment, I'm sure you'll agree.


    She should be careful what she wishes for, The goverment funded housing associations will very likely step in and buy up many of these repo'd properties, when they come on the block.. And fill them with 'hard-working low-income' families, and the like, as well as the previous tennets.

    Marginally better than boarding up the flat and having it turn into a crack den.

    Interestingly, I was watching an episold on BBC Entertainment last night of New Street Law.

    The lawyer in the programme referenced that the other solicitor was a man of straw in referring that he thought he was bluffing.

    I think a Man of Straw is different I think. I think it means a puppet; an apparent leader being controlled by shadowy figures in the background.

    Think they have just made the mistake of using Microsoft products for hosting. Probably got hacked :)

    Just looked at their whois and some numbskull hasn't listed any dns servers so it won't exist until they put them back in. Doh.
