Just spoke with the son in law, he`s
a successful businessman with a portfolio of rental homes.
He`s just shown me the latest offer he received from Mears to supply accommodation for "New Scots".
Mears are offering 5 × the normal rent on a 5 year contract and they`ll pick up any repair bills, and they`ll be making their money too.
Out of the hotels and into a street near you, and your taxes are paying for it.
Meanwhile we`re told to stock up on food ,water and expect to be drafted to fight for a flag deemed racist and divisive, the clown show is really going to town.
I don`t wanna go down like disco.

Tell your son in law to get that contract signed and hoover up that money! Once Mears shareholders find out that they are offering 5 x the going rate for properties they`ll soon be firing some agents. Mears contract with the government has a profit cap and they`ve already had to return millions for breaching that cap. That`s their lookout though but I am concerned that the government is spending way more than they need to here, I mean I`m sure your son in law would have been delighted with even 2x the going rate. If you can supply more proof I`ll definitely be writing to my local MP (not MSP as I`m pretty sure this is a Westminster scheme but I`d verify) about this matter.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Yes I would agree. As a taxpayer for 50 years that does not appear to be offering value for money.

Why would shareholders worry, our government is reimbursing them with profit.
I`ve got an empty property just now, i may make enquiries to see if his claim is valid, i don`t think he`d lie as he doesn`t need the money.

That`s the entrepreneurial spirit!
I`ll just leave your previous quote here....(it`s yours if you can`t remember)
"There`s no left or right anymore when it comes to politicians, There`s just the snout and the trough."
Oh....and why should shareholders care is answered by the profit cap point.

There will always be plenty people around making money out of migrants, legal or illegal.

The shareholders wouldn`t be happy because they`d make more money by not paying as much as they seemingly are to acquire these properties. While I don`t agree with you on much DW i share your outrage on this. It`s very easy to contact your local MP (email obviously being the simplest way but a written letter is also an option) and it would at least force them to acknowledge this issue and make enquiries. That said I imagine it won`t be long till the press get a hold of this.

Make enquiries doesn’t mean taking it up, you understand that, right?
It`s well documented i`m selling up and getting out of here.
