Obese patients and smokers banned from routine surgery in 'most severe ever' ration

It's unfair to the people who actually live in Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk etc the vast majority of the time. Are they suppose to have their council services cut because the second home owners can't be bothered to pay full price for them?

But empty houses don't generate garbage, don't require much of policing, edukation etc - fair council tax for an empty house should be maybe 10% of full rate, certainly not 100%.

btw, shaunbhoy lives there, maybe that would convince you that it's totally fair...

2nd homes don't add to a community feel. And they push up house prices. I would ban 2nd home ownership. Or at least tax it a 1000000%

Build more houses, that's the right answer.

When I drive to office I can see plenty of run down unused buildings with broken windows, why can't cheap housing be build there?

When I drive on M40 to Heathrow I can see endless green land - there is plenty of space in this country to have very cheap housing, albeit not everybody is going to get a nice view of the Big Ben - those houses will inevitably be limited and thus very expensive.
