The 25 Most Dangerous People In Financial Media
There are some things that men must do in order that they remain as men.
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court. Didn't you tell me that once?
It is the duty of all good men to nurture the seed of self-destruction that lies at the core of every evil.
The biggest delusion that humans suffer is to abrogate their powers to others then expect something other than despair.

I guess you're highlighting high fuel prices and the cost of living as impacting on the affordability of everything else. As a side point, I can see these days diesel is dearer than petrol - that's a reversal from the old days

Is it possible that they keep running these house price ramping stories because on the days they do they see a spike in their sales?
If so, what does that say?
Presumably, HPCers are too tight to buy a newspaper so maybe lots of perhaps worried home-owners buy the paper when they see these stories?

The success or failure of your deeds does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intention of your actions and by the strength you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.
The people closest to you have been trying to tell you that you have made a difference. That you did change things for the better. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing that we can ever truly control - whether we are good or evil.
The political triumph of the American Right has been to advance relentlessly the economic interests of the country's richest people, while emphasising a swath of moral, social and foreign policy issues that motivate and certainly distract middle-class and poor voters.

"And experts say prices will keep increasing for the rest of the year"
WTF? I would love to meet these experts. Oh it's the good olde ONS Office 'for' National Sadistic's
There are more housing experts on this site than the entire ONS

I was in Sainsbury's yesterday evening. The woman in front of me, 50s-ish, was buying the Daily Express. I'd never seen one of their moronic readers in the flesh.
It was a bit like the time I saw a cockroach for the first time in London zoo - fascinated disgust

That is fantastic news. But they could go with other really positive aspects like if your about to have grandchildren by the time they are old enough to buy a house there is no conceivable way they could possibly afford one (average house costing £800k by the time their 30 at £64 a day) so your grandchildren will be at best indentured servants of some wealthy landowner. Hooray 
it will be just like the middle ages again!

The truth is that the economies of rich countries, including the UK, are being kept alive by another and astonishingly under-reported bull market — in government debt. This is the bond bubble; and when it bursts, as it surely will, the result will be a recession far deeper than the crash from which we are trying to recover.
