Chinese food courts continue to be wildly popular dining destinations in Flushing, where eight have debuted over the last decade. Some, like Golden Mall, have been ramshackle affairs, while others, such as the one in Flushing Mall, might be at home in any shopping center in the nation—if not for the Asian chow. But a Moby Dick among Chinese food courts has recently surfaced, located in a brand-new mall that replaces the long-derelict Caldor at the corner of Main Street and... More >>>

From the "Why doesn't this ever happen to me?" file:
Karl Kissner picked up a soot-covered cardboard box that had been under a wooden dollhouse in his grandfather's attic. Taking a look inside, he saw baseball cards bundled with twine. They were smaller than the ones he was used to seeing.
This undated photo provided by Heritage Auctions shows some of the more than 700 well-preserved 1910 baseball cards found.
But some of the names were familiar: Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner.Then he put the box on a dresser and went back to digging through the attic.
It wasn't until two weeks later that he learned that his family had come across what experts say is one of the biggest, most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting, a discovery probably worth millions.
The cards are from an extremely rare series issued around 1910. The few known to exist are in so-so condition at best, with faded images and worn edges. But the ones from the attic in the Ohio town of Defiance are nearly pristine, untouched for more than a century. The colors are vibrant, the borders crisp and white.
"It's like finding the Mona Lisa in the attic" Kissner said.
While I don't collect cards like I used to, I do know that the Honus Wagner is the Action Comics #1 of the baseball card world. Here's what it looks like:
That one card sold for $1.2 million. Yeah, you read that right.
It reminds me of the movie "Comic Book Villains." Not a bad flick. It's got some language, but overall, it's watchable. The ending will make a comic geek sick to his stomach though.

Romney heading overseas in July
ELK RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) -- Mitt Romney is planning a trip overseas ahead of the Republican National Convention in August.
A Republican official says the Republican presidential candidate is set to visit the Olympics in London for the opening ceremonies July 27 and the beginning of the competition. Then he'll head to Israel, where he plans to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Romney's advisers are considering plans to visit other countries in Europe, though the itinerary is still being finalized.
Romney has been vacationing in Wolfeboro, N.H., with a Hamptons fundraiser set for Sunday. He speaks to the NAACP's annual convention on Wednesday and is planning a Thursday fundraiser with former Vice President Dick Cheney.
McConnell sees closely divided Senate coming
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell says the odds of Republicans taking over the Senate after November's elections and him becoming the new majority leader are "50-50."
The Kentucky senator says he expects "a very close, competitive election" in the battles for the 33 seats on ballots this fall.
McConnell is not predicting a sweep for Democrats or Republicans in the fall Senate elections. With 50 seats needed to take control, McConnell says "at the end of the day, we will have a very narrow Senate one way or the other."
There are currently 51 Democrats and 47 Republicans in the Senate. There are two independents, Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman, who align with Democrats.
The comments came Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
Murphy to air first TV ad in Conn. Senate race
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The Democrats' endorsed candidate for Connecticut's open U.S. Senate seat is unveiling his first TV ad in the race.
U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy's 30-second spot will begin running on Monday. The campaign confirmed it is spending about $300,000 on the ad, which will run over the next two weeks on statewide broadcast and cable stations.
The commercial features Murphy with his family in a grocery store, listening to concerns from constituents about partisan bickering in Washington, challenges to women's rights and the need for more jobs. Murphy then promises, "as your senator, I'll never get tired of listening."
Murphy faces a primary challenge on Aug. 14 from fellow Democrat Susan Bysiewicz (BY'-suh-wits). She is running her own TV ad, touting her efforts as a lawmaker to help women who've had mastectomies.
Ohio's Portman: No meeting with Romney
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- He may be on Mitt Romney's short list for vice president, but Sen. Rob Portman said Saturday that he did not travel to New Hampshire to meet with the prospective Republican nominee.
The Ohio Republican told reporters that he hasn't visited Romney's New Hampshire vacation home -- just 40 miles from where Portman headlined a state GOP fundraiser Saturday night -- and has no plans to meet with Romney before he leaves New England.

Consistently the Best!.
Extremely good sushi!
I have never eaten anything there that i have been unhappy with.
The reviewers who were unhappy completely baffle me. I have been eating there for 10 years and have never had a bad experience.
My favorites: The Pink Lady, Black and Gold, Wasi, spicy tuna, Beef Noodle Soup, hot banana pepper beef.
Wonderful food, wonderful service.
Only at Tai-Pei Toyko.
Bruce, Heather, and the entire staff are the most welcoming staff you could ask for! By the third visit you feel like you are dining with family.
The Rolls are the best! The Pink Lady, and Wasi!, will have you licking the plate!!!!! In all my travels I have not found anyone who could match the exciting tastes and textures found in the Pink Lady. I have "turned on" many of my friends. They drive from all over the area to treat themselves to this wonderful dining experience.
The egg drop soup is the best I have ever had. I order it in most places and here it just rocks!
The sushi is the freshest and wonderfully prepared.
Everything is fresh and wonderful.
If you have problems here, you most likely find fault everywhere!
Disappointed. I ordered hot and sour soup and shrimp lo mein today. The soup was bland. The lo mein was a little burned and has a smoky and bitter after taste. It got stronger after a few bites. My husband's and friends' dinners were fine. I told the waiter about the burning taste. His reply was what you want me to do about it; there is nothing I can do. I'm not a picky eater. One bad dish doesn't stop me from trying other items on the menu. But the attitude ruined my experience. I will not go back to this restaurant.
Poor Service. I have received on numerous occasions' poor service, i.e., not being welcomed in this restaurant. Today, I got there before my party, and was asked to have a seat. Then a woman came in after me, and was told to look around, see if her guest were in the restaurant???? When my party arrived we were asked if we wanted to be seated in the rear of the restaurant, when there were tables up front. We watched the owner go to other tables and have a conversation, but didn't bother to come to our table. We watched the owner thank others for coming in, but no one, no one thanked us. The food is good, but not worth the bad feelings we experienced. Thanks but no thanks, I'll spend my money where I am welcomed.
amazing is an understatement!. The best chinese and asian food, not only in the city but anywhere. My husband is active duty military and we look for good chinese in every city we end up in and none have ever come close to taipei. The owners are amazing, the food to die for, and they will make authentic dishes that aren't on the menu if you ask. This was my husband's first stop and first meal when he came home from iraq
Highest Quality Chinese and Japanese near Pittsburgh.
They have the highest quality popular Chinese cuisine and Japanese sushi dishes close to Pittsburgh. I've dined at Taipei Tokyo over 100 times and never had 1 bad meal. They always offer great seasonal maki and the waiters have many non-menu items to recommend for the more adventurous.
They have a very good liquor and beer selection to go with the meals, including some of the freshest 20oz steel Sapporo cans in the city.
The atmosphere is a bit strange (pink neon and pink seats), but it grows with you.
Japanese Items of interest: "Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura Lunch", "Spicy Crunch tuna Roll", "Spider Roll", "Volcano Roll", and the Best "Dynomite Roll" in the city.
Chinese Items of interest are: Fresh sea bass with Ginger Scallion Sauce.
Lunch is affordable, and dinner offers some options to splurge on if you want to show off. If you want to make a good impression on somebody who has never tried Japanese or Chinese food, this is a good place to take them.
Great Sushi!. My husband and have had Sushi all over the city and always come back to Taipei Tokyo...we truly feel it is the best sushi in the city....try the Black and Gold Roll...to die for!
Editorial Review by Christy Buena. Locals flock for fresh sushi and affordable Japanese and Chinese cuisine at the restaurant that offers delivery and take out.

Simple Pizza Sauce
Recipes » Marinades and Sauces » Sauce
A simple pizza sauce that is based off a sauce I originally learned in high school and have tweaked over the years until I thought it was just about perfect.
"I normally use spaghetti sauce for pizza because "pizza" labeled sauce is so expensive. Now I have a much better sauce to use. As a matter of fact, I had sauce left over, added a 28 oz. can of chopped tomatoes, hamburger, pineapple juice, another table spoon of Italian seasoning and BAM, spaghetti sauce. Very good, thank you!" - RjgrovesYield: 2 Servings Ready in 45 minutes
Cuisine: ItalianMain Ingredient: Tomatoes

1 can (12 oz)Tomato paste |
1 can (16 oz)Tomato sauce |
2 tablespoonItalian Seasoning |
1 smallOnion; diced |
2 clovesGarlic; minced |
1 tablespoonSugar |
1 pinchSalt; to taste |
2 tablespoonOlive oil |
Simple Pizza Sauce Preparation
Over medium heat, saute onion in olive oil until light brown. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer until desired thickness.
Only simmer the sauce as long as it takes to get the desired thickness. If the sauce gets too thick, you may add a little water to thin it out again, but you don't want to over do it, because too thin of a sauce won't hold to the dough well and the flavors will get watered down. Good luck!

Private accommodation
Why look for private accommodation?
Many students prefer to live in private accommodation as this allows you:
- to live with a group of friends
- to live with a partner or children
- to enjoy a greater degree of independence and flexibility
- to choose a property to suit your budget.
Priority for University accommodation is given to first year undergraduates and postgraduates, which means the majority of returning students and students who apply for accommodation from around July onwards are encouraged to seek accommodation in the private sector due to limited rooms available in halls.
How can City help you find private housing?
City has linked up with www.StudentPad.co.uk which provides an interactive web-based facility for private sector accommodation. StudentPad acts as an independent adviser and provider of information on private sector accommodation. The aim of StudentPad is to help students find the right property that is most suited to their needs as quickly and easily as possible.
Private accommodation workshops
The Accommodation Team at City run private accommodation workshops throughout the academic year. The workshop offers practical information and guidance to students intending to live in private sector accommodation.
City University London Accommodation Fair
This is an annual housing event for students looking for accommodation in the private sector. The Accommodation Fair attracts a wide range of exhibitors from local letting agents and private halls of residence to insurance agents who are all available on the day to provide you with a host of information on private sector accommodation. The 2013 Accommodation Fair will take place in the Northampton Suite on Friday 22 February 2013.
Private accommodation listings
On this website you can find useful listings providing contact details for private halls of residence, letting agents, hotels and hostels, and a glossary of housing terms. Please note, City University London does not formally recommend or endorse the organisations contained within the listings, you are therefore advised to carry out your own research and make judgements as you feel necessary before committing yourself to a particular property.
Finding somewhere to live
Planning your search
First, think carefully about exactly what you are looking for:
- Decide whether you want to live alone or with others.
- Which area do you want to live in?
- How much time are you willing to spend commuting to the University? Consider what your transport routes to the University will be and how much this might cost you.
- When budgeting for accommodation, remember to allow for bills - gas, electricity, water and telephone.
- Remember variations in rent levels depend on facilities provided at the property and its locations.
Where to look
City University London is situated in the heart of London and student accommodation close to the University tends to be rather expensive. The London travel zones range from zone 1 (Central London) out to zone 6. There is little accommodation available in central London for large groups or families and therefore the majority of students will live outside travel zones 1 and 2.
Visit this interactive website which compares rents across the Capital. The site shows the average rents for private accommodation for each postcode area, as well as giving a range of advice for tenants.
In the past students have lived in the following areas which generally have cheaper rental levels compared to properties located in zone 1. Living in these areas will usually entail 30 to 45 minutes travelling time to the University:
E1 Whitechapel, Stepney
E2 Shoreditch, Bethnal Green
E3 Mile End, Bow
E5 Hackney Central

Wherever you decide to live in London there will be positive and negative aspects but it is useful to assess an area by visiting it during the day and at night, by picking up a local newspaper or by consulting friends or other students who have lived in that area before.
Accommodation costs
Prices for accommodation in London can vary considerably but students should expect to pay between £100 and £250 per week depending on the size of the room, the facilities offered and the area in which the property is located. See our advice on the cost of living in London.
Some private halls of residence will cost more than this, however the fees usually include utility bills, internet, and contents insurance; and due to their proximity to City, there would not be any travel costs.
Managing your money
You can calculate your budget using the Student Calculator. Just input your funding and approximate expenditure and it'll work out a budget for you.
You can find information on our website regarding budgeting and cost of living. We've also put together some money management tips.
For more information on financial support available at City University London, please visit our Funding and Financial Support pages for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
When to look
The question of when to start looking for accommodation depends on the kind of property you want to live in. If you are looking for a place in an independent student hostel or private hall of residence you may need to apply months in advance. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a flat/house or a room with a resident landlord, you will not normally be able to arrange this more than four to six weeks in advance of moving in.
You are not advised to enter into a commitment on a property unless you are actually in London and have viewed it first-hand. Since you will be competing for properties with lots of students from other London institutions, it would be unwise to leave your search as late as September.
Where to look
There are many places where you can start to look for accommodation in London, such as message boards, newspapers, websites and letting agents.
Flat sharing message boards
Message boards are very popular with students looking for accommodation or looking to meet new people to share accommodation with. Using an interactive message board is a good way of getting to know your future flatmates before viewing a property or agreeing to a formal contract.
Online databases for shared properties
City University London has linked up with StudentPad which provides an interactive web-based facility for private sector accommodation. StudentPad acts as an independent adviser and provider of information on private sector accommodation. The aim of StudentPad is to help students find the right property that is most suited to their needs as quickly and easily as possible. You can search the database for available accommodation, view the Message Boards (link located at top of StudentPad page) to find both flatmates and rooms (and can add your own message). Finally you can view Housing statistics showing the average prices in the areas local to the University from the properties advertised on the site. Use the StudentPad website.
Other websites that can help you find flatmates and shared houses include:
Please note that properties on these websites have not been vetted by City.
Newspapers, classified advertisements and other sources
Local newspapers can be purchased from local newsagents and free copies may be available in local libraries. Classified advertisements, usually at the back of the newspaper, contain information on cheap rooms, flats and houses for rent in the local area. View Islington Council's local newspaper online.
Loot is a classified advertisement paper and website listing thousands of business and private advertisements across hundreds of categories. Anyone can place an advert through the UK call centre or at www.loot.com, and the advert will appear online and in the Loot publications. You will find both rooms and whole properties advertised and you will need to be based in London to be able to view them. Loot is a very popular place to advertise and is published three times a week. There are many other websites that allow you to conduct property searches online based on location and price range. Some of these are: Time Out magazine, Homes and Property, Findaproperty, Rightmove, Primelocation and Ukpropertyshop.
Please note that there are lots of different terms used in these papers to describe the various features of the property so please view our helpful glossary of terms.
Local supermarkets and newsagents usually allow members of the public to place an advertisement on their notice board or on the shop window. These advertisements are not always up to date, however they are an easy way to advertise and it is possible to find yourself a bargain property.
Letting agents
A letting agent is a UK term used for a middle person through whom an agreement is made between a landlord and tenant for the rental of a private property. The vast majority of private accommodation in London is advertised through a letting agent (also known as an estate agent).
You can register with a letting agent who can keep you updated on current vacancies as well as handle your deposit and rental fees. Most letting agents do not charge you for registering with them, however some agents may ask for a small administration fee to cover the costs of arranging a tenancy agreement, but they should not charge you for viewing a property. Good letting agents will have a discussion with you to identify your budget, the type of accommodation you require and arrange any property viewings for free.
Please note that many letting agents will first show you properties that have been on their lists for some time so make clear to them exactly what kind of property you are after and keep in regular contact with them so that they keep you in mind when new properties are registered with the agency.
There is a wide choice of letting agents in London you can register with. The vast majority of reputable letting agents are accredited by professional bodies such as Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS) and the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA).
For your convenience, we have put together a list of London letting agents that are currently (or have previously) worked with City University London students and staff. The list is viewable here.
Living with UK families
There are organisations such as Homestay and Hosts International who can arrange for a student to stay with a UK family. You pay a weekly fee to live in a family environment, and can arrange with the family the type of meal plan you prefer.
Word of mouth
There are a lot of students in their final year who will be leaving their accommodation once their courses finish over the summer. Ask around, you may find the perfect place - and the current students could recommend you to the landlord, saving time for you and for them.
Viewing properties
Once you have found a property you are interested in, the next step will be to view it. In this section we will look at the steps you should follow when viewing a property and some of the common problems to look out for. We strongly advise that you should arrange to view private accommodation prior to signing any legal agreement on the property.
Most students start looking for accommodation during the summer period and arrange to move into the property in September.
For every student viewing properties in London the following three items are a must:
- A comprehensive street & travel map of London
- A travel card covering the zones in which you will be travelling
- A mobile phone.
You can find an A-Z of London map in bookshops and some newsagents. Oystercards or Travelcards can be purchased from any Underground station and remember students qualify for discounted travel. You find pay-as-you-go SIM cards for mobile phones in phone shops and some larger supermarkets.
Use journey planners such as Walkit, Upmystreet, Bingmaps and tfl.gov.uk to look at where properties are, work out travel routes and journey times from the private accommodation to the University.
It is advisable to view a property as if you are travelling back from the University. Ask yourself whether you would feel safe walking back to the property late at night?
Keep safe - if you are going to view properties arrange for a friend or family member to accompany you, or at least make sure a friend knows where you are going and how long you are likely to be.
What to look out for when viewing a property
It is also important to pay particular consideration to the following features of any property that you view. From the general look of a building you can tell whether the landlord has looked after the property - and you can always ask the current residents about the landlord.
External Features:
- What is the general condition of the property on the outside - is there sufficient lighting outside the building?
- Are there any broken doors, windows or rotten window frames?
- What do they have in the way of security at the building?
- Is there a central refuse collection point for rubbish?
- Do you notice any rodents or pests outside the building?
Internal Features:
- Are there enough facilities provided for those sharing the house (for example, bathrooms)?
- What is the general condition of the property inside - are the main doors secure?
- Are the windows draught-proof - is there any damage to the windows?
- What type of heating is in the property?
- When was the last time gas and electrical appliances were inspected?
- What is the condition of the furniture within the property? - Check which items belong to the property and which items belong to current tenants.
- Are all the cupboards, fixtures and fitting well-maintained?
- Can you spot any damp or mould in the property?
- Are there any loose or faulty wires where electrical appliances are kept?
- If the property is on a main road, open the window and check how noisy it is.
Do not feel pressurised into signing anything immediately - go away and have a think about it, and arrange another visit if necessary.
Contracts and money
Tenancy agreements and deposits
The tenancy agreement is a contract between you and your landlord. The tenancy agreement gives certain rights to both you and your landlord, for example, your right to occupy the accommodation and your landlord's right to receive rent for letting the accommodation.
You and your landlord may have made arrangements about the tenancy and these will be part of the tenancy agreement as long as they do not conflict with UK laws. Both you and your landlord have rights and responsibilities given by law. If a term in the tenancy agreement gives either you or your landlord less than your statutory rights, that term cannot be enforced.
Contract checking service
City University London Students' Union is providing a contract checking service. Please contact the Students' Union reception to book your appointment on +44 (0)20 7040 5600.
What is rent?
In almost all student tenancies, there will be a rent to be paid. Rent is the payment you are bound by contract to make to your landlord for exclusive use of the property you are staying in.
Before moving in, you should check the following:
- How much rent is payable and when is the payment due? Is the rent to be paid weekly or monthly?
- What does the rent cover? Does it include bills such as gas, electricity, water, telephone, internet connection etc.?
- How should the rent be paid? You may be asked to pay by cheque, cash, credit card, standing order or direct debit. If you are requested to pay by cash make sure you are provided with a written receipt of your payment.
- Check your tenancy agreement thoroughly for any clauses where the rent can be increased.
- Some Landlords ask for a guarantor. This is someone close to you (friend or family) who will agree to pay your rent if you do not pay it. Please note that if you sign a joint-tenancy agreement, for example if you and some friends move into a property together and sign the agreement together (so that you are all liable for each other's rent), this also could mean that your guarantor will be liable for the other rents in the property too. Please note that some landlords will ask for a UK-based guarantor, and unless you have a close friend or family in the UK who can act as this, you will be unable to take the accommodation. City University London cannot act as a guarantor for privately rented accommodation.
Deposit and payments
Once you have found a property that you are interested in, you may be required to pay a deposit. Most private landlords ask you to pay a deposit to cover any costs caused by damage to the property internally or externally. Landlords also use the deposit to cover any outstanding rental fees.
From time to time the issue of deposits and non-return of deposit by landlords at the end of the agreement is a major source of dispute and friction.
To resolve some of these disputes and disagreements a scheme called the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme (TDPS) was introduced by the government in April 2007. This scheme was introduced to significantly improve tenants' rights and ensures that their deposits are not unfairly withheld. The scheme also provides a service to sort out disagreements about the deposit without going to court.
Tips to help you protect your deposit:
- Before you pay any type of deposit, ensure you ask the landlord what the deposit covers and when the deposit will be returned to you.
- Ensure you get a written receipt of any money you pay and ask the landlord which tenancy deposit scheme the landlord will be using.
- Within 30 days of you paying a deposit, your landlord must give you details of the scheme they are using to protect it.
- It is also important that you and your landlord agree, in writing, what condition the property is in when you start renting it, including a list of the furniture and fittings (known as an inventory). This should help prevent disagreements at the end of the tenancy.
Tenancy deposit protection schemes
You can contact the schemes to find out if your deposit is protected. Each scheme can only provide information about deposits that it is protecting. It will not be able to tell you if your deposit is protected in another scheme.
The custodial scheme is called The Deposit Protection Service. Most small landlords will probably use this scheme. You can contact the scheme by calling 0844 472 7000 or visiting the website at www.depositprotection.com.
The Tenancy Deposit Scheme is an insurance-based scheme, aimed mainly at letting agents. You can contact the scheme by calling 0845 226 7837 or visiting the website at www.thedisputeservice.co.uk.
'Mydeposits' is an insurance-based scheme, aimed mainly at landlords. You can contact the scheme by calling 0871 703 0552, visiting the website at www.mydeposits.co.uk or emailing email@example.com.
More information about tenancy deposit protection can be found at www.directgov.gov.uk.
What happens at the end of the tenancy?
You should get your deposit back within ten days if you and your landlord agree about how much you should get back. The way this works and what happens if there is a disagreement, depends on the type of scheme your landlord is using. If there is a disagreement, make sure the landlord and the deposit scheme have your contact details. If you are staying in a hall of residence, you may have to wait up to 28 days to get your deposit back.
It is reasonable for your landlord to take money off the deposit to cover, for example, damage to the property or furniture, or missing items which were listed in the inventory.
If you are still not happy, then you can contact the following for more advice:
Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB)
The Citizens Advice Bureau gives free, confidential, impartial and independent advice to help you solve problems. Find your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau.
Council Tax
What is Council Tax?
Council tax is a system of local taxation collected by local authorities. It is a tax on domestic property. Some property is exempt from council tax.
Who has to pay Council Tax?
Usually one person, called the liable person, is required to pay Council Tax. Nobody under the age of 18 can be a liable person. Couples living together will both be liable, even if there is only one name on the bill. This applies whether the couple is married, cohabiting or in a civil partnership.
If you live in halls of residence, or in a private property where everyone is classed as a full time student for Council Tax purposes, you'll be exempt from paying Council Tax but you will need to provide proof of this in the form of a letter (from either your department or the Student Centre) and forward this to your local council in order receive this exemption.
The rules are different if you live with someone who is not a full time student but your household could still get a discount. Usually, the person living in a property will be the liable person but sometimes it will be the owner of the property who will be liable to pay.
The owner will be liable if:
- The property is in multiple occupation, for example, a house shared by a number of different households who all pay rent separately; or
- The people who live in the property are all under the age of 18; or
- The property is accommodation for asylum seekers; or
- The people who are staying in the property are there temporarily and have their main homes somewhere else; or
- The property is a care home, hospital, hostel or women's refuge. If you think that the owner of the property should be paying the Council Tax, you should consult an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau.
Contact details for the local council in Islington are as follows:

If you wish to find information on Council Tax and other public services in your local area please visit the Directgov website.
Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO)
These are houses occupied by more than one household and are strictly defined in legislation. We often know them as bedsits, flat-lets and shared houses.
Under the changes in the Housing Act 2004, there are two types of HMO licensing: Mandatory and Additional.
Mandatory HMO licensing applies to all privately rented property with three or more storeys occupied by five or more people who form two or more households. This would usually include large houses converted into flats or bedsits and blocks of flats. The landlord has to ensure that there are adequate amenities (such as kitchens, toilets and bathrooms) in place for the occupants. A household could be a single person or members of the same family living together. This includes couples and close relatives.
Do all shared houses get extra protection under the law? Your landlord will have extra responsibilities if the house or flat you're living in is defined as a 'house in multiple occupation', or HMO for short. It's likely to count as an HMO if: three or more unrelated people live there as at least 2 separate households - for example, 3 single people with their own rooms, or 2 couples each sharing a room • the people living there share basic amenities - like a kitchen and/or bathroom. An HMO can be either: a house split into separate bedsits, a shared house or shared flat, where people have separate renting agreements, a hostel, a bed-and-breakfast hotel that isn't just for holidays, shared accommodation for students - although many halls of residence and other types of student accommodation owned by educational establishments aren't classed as HMOs. It's not always easy to work out whether or not the place you're living in is an HMO. Talk to your local council if you're not sure.
Additional licensing is when a council individually imposes a licence on HMO for which licensing is not mandatory. This may be because of poor management or inadequate amenities in the property.
If there are three or more people living in a flat or building and they are not related, such as a shared student house, the building or flat may be classified as an HMO.
If a property has an HMO licence, the Landlord has a responsibility to ensure:
- The property is not overcrowded and there are adequate amenities for the tenants;
- The property is managed correctly, including using a deposit scheme if a deposit is collected from you;
- The property is free from hazards that might affect your health and safety.
If you are unsure whether the property you are renting is an HMO or you feel that your house is overcrowded and/or has inadequate amenities for the tenants, you can seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau or your local council.
Rights to repair
What is repair?
Repairs are work that is needed to keep the property in good condition internally and externally.
Who is responsible for repairs?
In most cases the landlord is responsible for any repair work that is needed to keep the property in good condition. However, you should check your tenancy agreement for terms of repair which is not covered by the landlord.
In general the landlord is responsible for repairs to: roof, walls, floors, windows, baths, showers, toilets, basins, heating and gas appliances.
Telling your landlord about any repair works needed
- If you feel that repair works are needed in your property you should put this in writing to the landlord.
- Keep copies of all letters you send and also receive from your landlord.
- Do not attempt to repair anything yourself - you could get blamed for the damage and/or cause further damage.
Landlord's right of entry
Your landlord does not have right to enter your home without your permission unless it's an absolute emergency. If your landlord wants to come and inspect the property then they need to provide you with at least 24 hours' notice.
If your landlord agrees to have repair work done in your property, they should carry out all the necessary work without causing disruption to your daily routine. The landlord should also tell you in advance when the work will start and when it is likely to end. In the event the repair works require you to vacate the property then your landlord will need to find you alternative accommodation while the work is being carried out.
As a tenant by law you should use the property in a responsible manner. This means ensuring general cleaning is carried out throughout the house. Do not allow your guests to damage the property. If you or your guests cause any damage to the property the landlord can take court action to recover the costs of repair or seek termination of your contract through an eviction order.
If you have written to your landlord regarding a repair but you have not had any response or the repair work is not carried out, you can then take the following actions:
- You can contact your local Consumer Protection Services who are a part of your local Trading Standards Office in your local borough. Your local Trading Standards Office can investigate your complaint and they can also take legal action against your landlord. Your local authority will contact your landlord and express your concerns. In some instances the local authority will carry out the work and pass on the charge to the landlord. Find out more about the role of Trading Standards.
- You can also request an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) to inspect your property. The EHO works within the Environmental Health Service in your local council. This service aims to improve living conditions in the poorest private rented housing in the borough through working in partnership with owners and where necessary by enforcement. The EHO can recommend to your landlord what works are needed and any actions that may be taken against the landlord if the works are not carried out. Find out more.
Court action
If you feel that your landlord is neglecting your request for essential repairs you have the right to take further action through a County Court. Before you decide to take legal action you should seek professional advice from a solicitor.
If you need help to pay for any legal action you may be entitled to Legal Aid to help with the cost of going to court. Legal Aid helps with the costs of legal advice for people who cannot afford to pay for a solicitor or pay for other expert legal advice.
Financial help from Legal Aid depends on:
- The type of legal problem you have
- Your income (how much you earn) and how much capital (money, property, belongings) you have
- Whether there is a reasonable chance of winning your case
- Whether it is worth the time and money needed to win.
Find out more about Legal Aid.
You should never withhold your rent or use your rent to carry out repair work yourself. This can lead to more problems which can result in the landlord taking you to court for rent arrears.
Gas safety
The Gas Safe Register replaced Corgi as the organisation responsible for gas safety in Great Britain from 1 April 2009.
All landlords are responsible for the safety of their tenants. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 specifically deal with the duties of landlords to ensure that gas appliances and fittings provided for you are safe to use.
All Gas Safe registered engineers carry a Gas Safe Register ID card. Always check the front and the back of the card before having gas work done. Ensure that you check for the following information on the engineer's ID card:
- The licence number
- The start and expiry date
- The security hologram
- The work the engineer is qualified to do
- Up-to-date qualifications.
Landlords must:
- Ensure appliances provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition
- Ensure an annual safety check is carried out on each appliance
- Ensure maintenance and annual safety checks are carried out by a Gas Safe registered installer
- Keep a record of each safety check for two years
- Issue a copy of the safety check to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and to any new tenant before they move in.
You should allow your landlord access to the property to carry out maintenance or safety checks on appliances.
Gas appliances you own should be regularly maintained and a safety check carried out at least once every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered installer. If there is any doubt about the safety of gas equipment it should be turned off and not touched until checked by a Gas Safe registered installer.
What to do in an emergency
If you smell gas or suspect there may be a leak in your property you should act immediately and take the following steps:
- Open all doors and windows to ventilate the room. Get fresh air immediately. Do not turn on lights or smoke/light a cigarette.
- Switch off the appliance and do not reuse until it has been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Shut off the gas supply at the mains (if you know where this is).
- Visit your GP or the hospital immediately.
- Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out the necessary repairs to the appliance.
If you smell gas and are unsure as to what do then call the Gas Emergency Number on 0800 111 999 or in an absolute emergency call 999.
Fire safety
Partying, smoking and drinking are often part and parcel of a student lifestyle but could put you at a higher risk of fire. Safety awareness should not stop when you get home.
Here are a few tips to ensure your safety in the home:
- Fit a smoke alarm on each level of the property and test it weekly.
- Do not leave cooking unattended and be extra careful when using oil.
- Take care when smoking inside (if you are allowed), and make sure that your cigarette is extinguished before you go to bed.
- Keep candles and incense away from flammable surfaces, never leave them unattended and make sure they are extinguished before you go to bed (the same applies for barbecues).
- Do not overload plug sockets. Turn off electrical equipment when not in use.
- Secure portable heaters against a wall so they do not fall over. Keep them away from curtains and furnishings and never dry clothes on them. Do not leave them unattended - switch off when not in use.
- Know your escape route - make sure you and your housemates know the quickest way out of the property and consider alternative routes in case the usual one is blocked.
- If you lock doors and windows, make sure the keys are near to hand and all the housemates know the importance of keeping them in that location.
Your landlord must:
- Maintain wiring and electrical appliances provided in the property, to ensure they are safe to use (which means it is up to you to make sure that your own belongings are all safe, too).
- Make sure that any provided furniture and furnishings meet the fire resistance regulations.
If you are worried about your rented accommodation there is more information on the Gov.uk website.
Remember - If a fire starts, get out, stay out and call 999.
Summer accommodation
The term 'summer accommodation' means accommodation available from mid-June to mid-September.
Please note that City does not have any summer accommodation of its own, however City nominated halls Liberty Court and Alliance House both let their rooms independently over this period. Please contact the halls directly for information on how to book this accommodation.
There are thousands of hotels and hostels in London. If you plan to stay for long period of time, though, the best option would be to contact a private hall of residence and see whether they have any availability. Many of the halls will have students wishing to leave early and so will be glad to let the room to another student for the remainder of the licence or can arrange a short licence for you.
If you plan to arrive in London prior to the start of your licence agreement in halls (and you are not able to move into the hall early) or wish to book a room for a few days while you look for private accommodation, then it is advisable to book a room as early as possible in a hotel or hostel.
Please note that due to the Olympics being held in London during July and August 2012, accommodation near the Olympic site may be fully booked. London has a fantastic transport service and it may be cheaper to find accommodation away from central London and travel in, or search for hotels located away from the Olympic sites.
Housing for couples and families
There is no accommodation for couples or families at City. If you are married or have children you are advised to come to London on your own initially until you have found somewhere suitable to live. Housing staff at the Student Centre will be happy to advise you should you require assistance. If you require somewhere to stay while house hunting, temporary accommodation may be available for individuals in halls during the summer vacation period, subject to room availability.
There are some housing providers who provide accommodation in London for couples and families. Please note that these have not been viewed or approved by the University and you would need to contact these housing providers directly for more information. See: www.zebrahousing.com, www.ish.org.uk, www.goodenough.ac.uk.
Emergency housing - homelessness
Sometimes, for whatever reason, you may find yourself having to move quickly out of your accommodation. Firstly ask family, friends and colleagues if you can stay temporarily with them while you find alternative housing, however if this is not possible, there are a few options you can explore online: england.shelter.org.uk, www.nosecondnightout.org.uk, www.ymca.org.uk.

I missed the show on 13 things to help lose weight. Does anyone have them? I went to the website but it did not give them. |
Any information we have can be found on our Show Synopsis, Related Resources, or Special Thanks pages. Contests, giveaways and recipes can always be found on the daily Show Synopsis page. To locate the one you're looking for, go to EPISODES at the top of the page and select either Today's Show, Shows this Week, or Archives for previous shows. Locate the show and click on the picture or title, then select Show Synopsis, Related Resources, and/or Special Thanks to read more about the show segments and to find products mentioned on the show. Today's Show Synopsis: http://thedoctorstv.com/main/show_synopsis/1012?section=synopsis |
I was very disappointed to see that one the "tips" for losing weight is to fake a food allergy. For those of us actually dealing with life threatening food allergies, this was insulting. Please don't belittle food allergies. |
SERIOUSLY?? Fake a food allergy?!? |
As a mom of a child with life threatening food allergies I was dissapointed with the "fake a food allergy" . I would instead have encouraged just asking your waiter or waitress to please skip the butter. |
As a parent of a severely allergic child, I am disappointed that you would suggest to your audience that they fake an allergy to butter. Eating out with a food allergy is difficult as it is, and it is not unusual to come across people, including restaurant staff, that do not take food allergies seriously. Suggesting that people fake an allergy, only adds fuel to the fire of those that do not take the a potentially fatal food allergy reaction seriously and can endanger those individuals that really do have an allergy. Couldn't you suggest instead, that people simply say, "I am trying to eat healthier, please do not use butter"/ |
I am a pediatrician and an allergist, as well as a mother of four children, three of whom live with life-threatening food allergies. This segment about faking food allergies was brought to my attention by a reader of my blog (theallergistmom.com) and I feel compelled to post a comment. If people begin to fake food allergies in order to avoid butter at a restaurant, my concern is that restaurants will start to take the very serious business of preparing food for a person with life-threatening food allergies less seriously. If preferences get lumped into the same pile as food allergy, at some point, a real food allergy request (one that may actually cause immediate life-threatening symptoms) may not get the meticulous care it deserves. I agree with the follow up comment that it would be better to simply request what you want – no butter – than to feign a serious medical condition. We have made so much progress in the field of food allergy education, the food allergy community would appreciate it if you do not encourage people to use food allergy as a way to avoid unwanted food in a restaurant. Thank you. |
What a ridiculous idea: fake a butter allergy? First, that makes light of real allergies and could put more kids at risk by waiters not believing them (and slipping in dairy). Second, it does a disservice to the real issue: the need to create healthier food options. If more restaurants start hearing "hold the butter " because of health (not fake allergy) reasons, they may be more inclined to stop using it altogether and create other lower fat items. |
Lose weight by faking a food allergy?!….I'm beyond livid!!! As the mother of a son with a TRUE, SEVERE milk allergy this is absolutely appalling to me! My son's allergy can cause an anaphylactic shock and possible DEATH. This is nothing to play around with! By patrons using this as a "little white lie" it undermines the possiblilty of how serious this request can really be. Servers and chefs begin to not take the request as serious as it needs to be thus making it many times riskier for someone with a true allergy. Especially if they've seen this episode themselves. Please, people, igonore this piece of advice and simply ask your server to hold the butter, send it back if they don't. America's medical dream team?…these doctors have given me nightmares!!!! |
It really isn't that hard to just say, "No butter, please". As another mom of a child with a peanut allergy, whose reaction is life-threatening anaphylaxis, I have to rely on the staff of the restaurant to help protect my child. I have to be honest and frank and informative with them. I can't have them wondering if I am lying to them. This is what happens when someone with a true, life-threatening allergy is given the allergen food: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeroldssis/sets/72… I commend healthy eating. I do not commend dishonesty and lying that creates confusing situations that can lead to someon's death. |
I am so disappointed to have read this advice given by "The Doctors". My daughter has lived her entire life (almost 12 years) with a severe allergy to dairy. One of the things we do when dining out is to request the chef "hold the butter" on her grilled meat. She has learned to advocate for herself with our guidance, though that was no easy task. You see, people don't take food allergies very seriously for some reason. We have even had pediatricians doubt her diagnosis, despite the physical evidence of reactions and the positive RAST results and skin tests. Your "advice" of having people fake a food allergy to avoid butter at restaurants only undermines the seriousness we face everyday. Food allergies are on the rise, but your advice serves to set back our progress of making people understand the seriousness of the problem. What senseless advice indeed! I am beyond confused as to why medical professionals would even suggest such a thing. Would you suggest someone fake any other type of illness or condition to achieve a means to an end? I seriously doubt it. Disappointed. Angry. Frustrated. |
Wow! Your advice to "fake a butter allergy" is not only insulting to those of us who deal with life-threatening allergies each day, but it's also dangerous. There is no such thing as a "butter allergy." Someone allergic to butter would also be allergic to milk, yogurt, cheese and anything else containing milk protein. For someone to say they are allergic to butter and ask for it to be left off of vegetables, but then not order the rest of their meal with the same care and concern for a true allergy will only confuse restaurant staff, as a person with a true milk allergy would never ask to just "hold the butter." . Each time I order food for my milk-allergic daughter, I am faced with the fear that my questioning of the manager and wait staff to ensure each item on her plate is milk free is not taken seriously. We ask many questions, including making sure the the bread, marinades, etc are milk-free. I even ensure that the fries are not cooked in the same oil as milk-containing products, as this causes a life threatening reaction for my daughter. The more fake-allergy requests that are made, the less seriously my own requests will be taken. While "faking a butter allergy" for a non-allergic person may be "just a little white lie," for the rest of us it could be a deadly one. If you don't want butter, JUST ASK FOR THAT. |
There isn't much more to be said on this – the mom's and doctors above pretty much cover it. I think the idea of faking a food allergy does – as suggested, make it A MILLION times harder for those of us actually dealing with it to be taken seriously. Dairy is a very tough allergy as it is to avoid in restaurants – especially for children (where their options are usually mac & cheese, pizza or chicken fingers (often with dairy in the breading). This kind of advice reduces OUR credibility as parents when we request dairy free food. I have already had to explicitly say – "My kid will THROW UP on your table if there is butter in that. Can you make sure there isn't?" Somehow that gets their attention. I am so disappointed in this advice. I agree with the other commenter who said this diminishes your credibility in my mind, and will have a hard time taking any advice from you and your show now. I like the idea of an epidsode dedicated to food allergies. |
This sends the message to our kids and adults, alike, that it's okay to lie! What are we teaching those around us? It sends a terrible signal that downplays the realism of allergies among us. As a mother to children with anaphylaxis, and having been in the emergency room more than once due to undeclared allergens, this idea is disturbing. |
I want to convey my concern that your show advised people to "fake a butter allergy" so that restaurants will not put butter on their food. My children have a life-threatening peanut allergy, and one of the biggest issues we in the food allergy community have to overcome almost daily is skepticism from people who don't think it's possible for a person to have an allergy so severe that it could kill them, especially to something as innocuous as food. People who say they have a food allergy when they, in fact, do not and therefore do not practice strict avoidance like someone with a true allergy does, diminish the credibility of the true food allergic person and add to other people's skepticism about severe food allergies. I urge you to be more responsible with the advice you give your viewers, especially when it comes to something as important as a food allergy. |
I am shocked that The Doctors would recommend faking a food allergy in order to save on 120 calories. Not eating butter to lose weight and not eating butter because it could send you into anaphylactic shock are two very different things. My 2.5 yr old son is severely allergic to dairy in all forms and I feel this recommendation is degrading to his condition and everyone in the food allergy community. I am very disappointed in The Doctors. A better tip in my opinion would be to simply advise viewers to ask restaurants to hold the butter. Period. Without having to lie about having a severe medical condition. |
I've watched your show on and off for a few years now, and generally, I've really enjoyed it and taken no issue with advice presented. Your recent suggestion to "fake a butter allergy" shocked me, though. When I saw this, all I could think was, "Are they serious? How in the world did such a thoughtless suggestion pass four physicians and however many editors and consultants producing this show and not one of them considered this inappropriate advice?" To "fake a butter allergy" is wrong on so many levels. First off, it's lying. Yes, I know you termed it a "white lie," but that's hardly the truth (explanation below). Secondly, there's no such thing as a "butter allergy"—the allergy is to one of the components of butter (most likely milk/dairy), and anyone with a milk/dairy allergy would never say "I have a butter allergy." They'd call it as it is (i.e., "I have a milk allergy") because to just say "I have a butter allergy" would put them at risk of having another form of milk/dairy overlooked in the preparation of their meal. Most restaurant staff should be able to figure out this "white lie," and this brings me to the most dangerous aspect of this advice. My 21-month-old son has severe food allergies (anaphylaxis) to ten different foods, one being milk/dairy. The advice given was not only a dismissal of the seriousness of food allergies, but also blatantly disrespectful to those of us who live each day trying to keep our family members (or ourselves) safe and healthy. If we all took your advice and started claiming a "butter allergy," there's no doubt in my mind that this would water down the seriousness of food allergies in the food service industry and perpetuate less care taken by food preparation staff—and that could put many, many children's (and adults') lives in danger. Even the smallest possibility of a child (or anyone) being harmed as a result of this advice makes it no longer a white lie; it makes it a tragedy waiting to happen. We in the food allergy community are working every day to bring awareness to the seriousness of food allergies. How sad that it's a respected medical program that's become one of our rivals. Your show has a huge audience; perhaps you could dedicate one of your episodes (or part of it) to furthering community education on food allergies. |
I am extremely disappointed in your show advising people to tell a "white lie" and say they are allergic to butter. Why not just ask for no butter? Should we lie about a handicap to get better parking spots? I sincerely hope you air a retraction and admit you've given bad advice. And in addition, how about a segment on food allergies? Have some food allergic adults, kids and their caregivers as guests and they can explain to the public what living with a real food allergy is like. Let my kindergarten-aged daughter come and explain to you and your audience what it feels like to be left out of activities because of food allergies.Tips for people living with food allergies would be a great idea, too. Learning to live with allergies is daunting and scary and for you to make light of having a life-threatening allergy is irresponsible and certainly nothing I would want my personal doctor to condone. |
My twelve year old daughter has a treenut allergy. We have chosen to accept that she could have a reaciton when ever she eats. I can't keep her in a hamster ball after all. You have NO idea how stressful restaurants can be for a preteen with food allergies. She does a great job educating wait staff and sometimes chefs on what a tree nut is and how badly it would hurt her. She is very proficient at navigating a menu. However, she is constantly faced with peple who treat her as if she is stupid, weak and picky. We were almost refused airline travel once. Stories like this one perpetuate that behavior. there will be a backlash of 'oh, really and allergy?' in her future yet again. I am glad she is tough, because you just made it tougher. Great tip maybe you should just advise people to ask for no butter. |
just watched part of the one episode about the 13 ways to help you lose weight. number nine I believe it was, was to fake a food allergy. Do you have any idea what terrible advice this is? I have a 3 yr old daughter with 9 food allergies and 3 are life threatening. If some restaurant gets a bunch of people saying they are allergic to something, like butter, how long do you think it's gonna last until they start raising eyebrows to people like us who say they are allergic to milk and such? This is appalling and you have attracted the attention of many FB allergy parents and I'm sure I won't be the only one you hear from. This needs to be corrected publicly, and on your show to NEVER fake a food allergy as there are those who fight daily to make people understand the severity of food allergies and why it is so important to be educated and understand. When you have a child like mine who spent many hours being hooked up to heart monitors, oxygen, been given epinephrine, steroids and countless doses of antihistamine and watch her struggle to breath as hives erupt all over and her face and tongue swell…all from someone who didn't take you seriously, maybe you'll understand. This MUST be announced. NEVER FAKE A FOOD ALLERGY. People like you are making parents like me take not one but twenty steps back when you suggest something like this to the public. We work so hard to have this subject respected and you spit on it. |
As a parent of a child with food allergies I struggle constantly to educate people about the severity of my 8 year old son's condition. I was appalled when the show suggested to "FAKE A BUTTER ALLERGY" specially coming from a DOCTORS SHOW. If anything they should inform the world of how this is a life threatening condition and one dissability people can 't see, therefore most of the time, don't take seriously. People, CHILDREN… DIE every day because of this and making a joke of such, does not help with all the barriers and emocional turmoil we face day by day…. |
To suggest that people lie about having a life threatening condition to avoid a few calories is abhorrent. This segment demeans and discredits anyone with a legitimate food allergy. Please use your platform to educate the public about food allergies including the threat of cross-contamination and how to help someone experiencing an anaphylactic reaction. |
This is just ridiculous! If it is such a big deal to someone that there is too much butter on their food, why don't they stay home like the rest of us food allergy families. I've never heard such awful advice. My children are both allergic to peanuts. I would rather not have to carry an Epi Pen aorund everywhere or pray someone has not cross contaminated their food. Every bite they take out in public has to carefully picked out. Getting people to understand is hard enough without the ignorgance of what these doctors have to say. People take what you people have to say seriously.. Insist they get your right or send it back…doesn't take a rocket scientist! |
People regard a TV personality, especially one with MD after their name, as an authority and give a tremendous amount of credit to the advice that they give. Your recent segment about faking an allergy to avoid extra calories is nothing short of reckless. My son suffers from Eosinophilic Esophagitis with an extensive list of food allergies. Eating out is a luxury that many take for granted – for someone with food allergies it is an experience that is filled with challenges as it often requires the coordination of safe-foods in advance and making sure that strict food handling precautions are taken at all times. We are always so appreciative of the time and attention given by the chefs and now, at your suggestion, that time and attention is going to be abused putting people like my son at risk. As doctors, you undoubtedly know that minimizing and dismissing health conditions can have life threatening consequences – and I am shocked that it is something that you would advocate. |
My son is anaphylactic to peanuts and tree nuts. Pretending to have food allergies is ridiculous. Who would ever choose to have food allergies? Every playdate, every meal, everyday normalcies can lead to a life or death situation. Faking a food allergy would be like faking a disability. Who would do that? |

The B.C. Conservative Party is taking action to discipline, censure and revoke membership among a band of so-called dissidents who have been calling for their leader to resign.
Al Siebring, president of the B.C. Conservatives, told the NOW that the party is planning to take action against the group of dissidents but won't name any names.
"After several meetings over the weekend, the board of the B.C. Conservative Party has settled the issue of internal party discipline by voting to send out a total of 15 disciplinary letters, including terminations of membership and letters of censure" said Siebring, reading from a party statement. "The discipline is being meted out to these 15 individuals for their ongoing and public calls for a leadership review in violation of the clear process as outlined in section 11.04 in the party's bylaws."
Siebring went on to state that the affected members would be notified by mail this week, and that out of respect for privacy, the party would not be releasing their names.
Siebring emphasized that the 15 letters weren't all necessarily terminations of party memberships.
"Some get censure, some get termination, and we're not releasing the breakdown on that out of respect for their privacy," he said.
Siebring said the party's board also voted to strike a new "unity committee."
While the party will not release any names, one of the prominent figures calling for Cummins' resignation is longtime local resident Ariane Eckardt, president of the Burnaby North constituency association. Apparently, Eckardt is receiving mixed messages on the matter.
"On the contrary, I was told yesterday, by a very drunk regional director, that there won't be any letters coming, that they would kick us out through a vote of non-confidence," Eckardt said, adding that the director was a Cummins supporter.
"They can't even agree amongst themselves," she said. "I'm not nervous. To me, the more they do this, the more publicity this will create, and the more people will realize Cummins has to go. I think they are playing into our hands on this."
According to Eckardt, the party got legal advice on whether they could kick people out en masse and was told they couldn't, so she suspects they will be kicked out one by one.
