You could look at it that way, and I'm sure you will.

Personally, I'd say they're more concerned with stopping YOUR house prices crashing overnight AGAIN when the current housing bubble bursts. #-o


The bubble as far as I know exists only in London & Aberdeen...........the rest of the country will not catch much of a cold :D

As I see it, it's advice. Just take it or leave it.
It's not the first time this advice has been given and it won't be the last. Plenty of commentators have been saying the same thing. Osbourne's so called recovery is built on sand and based on re-inflating the same housing bubble that burst so spectacularly last time.

The advice will be ignored and another crash is inevitable. Relax. :wink:

That would have been Browns bubble and Northern rock then?

You sound as if EU meddling in UK affairs is OK by you?

Well it's Osbourne's bubble now, isn't it.

TBH I think your more bothered about shooting the messenger than you are in hearing the message. :roll:

I read the story........but I also use my own eyes! Later on I also saw the Bbc news with reporters from around the country passing comment on the fact that it is not the majority of properties around the country going up, it is in actual fact very much a minority, confirming my thoughts. In actual fact if it does go bang then only a small percentage of the population will get burnt i.e London, South east, Aberdeen etc. you will of course have to include those who bought near central transport locations in other bigger localities. As I mentioned it will not affect the majority.

When they talk of it going t!ts up it will be nothing like America........it will burn people who are on the higher scale of the mortgage chain.......those with a few bob - I am not worried in the slightest.

Having said the above, this could easily have been avoided in the same way as they "Band" properties for community tax, just do the same with higher interest rates in affected areas, it would cool the property market and stop the stupid over the top property increases.

No! those were the days when Unions were really Unions and fought to have a fair share of the profit earned by the workers sweat. The companies in those days were making/could make good profits.

If you are talking about todays Unions, again not all, but most certainly most - then they are trash, for allowing to happen today what would NEVER would have been allowed back in the 60-80s. Without the industrial upheaval back then you would have todays situation decades earlier.

The elite have their vulgar profits and vulgar life styles to boot, as such recessions never really affect them because they are not recessions in the true sense........We are told we have a recession - the truth is.........it is an excuse to financially suppress the working class and to get them used to..........THIS IS THE WAY YOU LIVE.

Union leaders got too big for their boots, thats why they got their marching orders from government, companies and even members too


in other words, they shat the bed

No! The bottom line is that they could not/would not do, what they preach to their members - Stick together.

I really believe that the unions had a place in society. It was not all honey and roses, but workers had better pay and more rights, instead of zero hour contracts and very little rights. The proof in the pudding of what I have said is that we had recessions that lasted 2/3 years, in those days we could spend our way out of it because the workforce earned a darn sight more than they do today in real terms. Today we cannot do that because the money is no longer around due to decades of the financial suppression of wages, we are screwed, and so are they,as they cannot even contemplate raising the "Interest rates" without damaging any recovery/the economy. That is the reason as to why we have been in this mess for so long.

Today's governments would never have gotten away with the corruption that is going on, also the companies would never have got away with vulgar profit, to only pay just a little remuneration for the workforce who helped to create it......the problem is - many union bosses joined the very same self serving crowd that we now have.

They more than anyone in my eyes, are to blame for today's problems - they let the country down as you have to have genuine credible opposition to a government, or they walk all over you as you can see. Basically the Unions as they were in the 60/80s etc.....kept them in check, and believe it or not......we did benefit from it.
