I saw a piece on RT yesterday describing appalling conditions (and high rents) in many London flats and bedsits. It's a truly disgraceful situation with inadequate, disgusting and even unsafe accommodations being leased without fear of consequence. Complain and you're evicted. So, you'd think that regulatory reform and enforcement would be a no-brainer, right? Well, it turns out that a lot of the politicians in London and in the UK Parliament are beholden to the real estate industry and many are themselves landlords.
