I can’t imagine the data would even be readable after all this time. Hard Drives ain’t built to survive being in a tip for a decade, so the odds that water, corrosive liquid and gas got in there is pretty high. That layer that actually holds the data on the platter is incredibly delicate of course, so I wouldn’t hold any hope that the platter could even be removed and read. Must be terrible to have to get up for work every day knowing what slipped through your fingers.

Until we:

• Ban buy-to-let mortgages.
• Ban landlords from owning multiple houses.
• Invest into social housing and ban so-called “affordable housing” lettings.

We’ll continue to be stuck in this downward spiral.

The problem is, everyone in power is a landlord or otherwise benefits from the current system, so nothing changes and we continue circling the drain as a society.
