Rosie Millard: No more spend, spend, spend
BBC: This Week
9 mins 30 secs in. Rosie Millard has a "package" on how the middle classes are suffering. She's then
on the sofa with Charles Kennedy bleating on about her £50,000 debts and worried about her
mortgage reset coming up in October. She neglected to mention her BTL portfolio for some reason.
When Charles Kennedy started saying the root of the problem was the commedy mortgages given
out at the behest of the banks and that common sense has been telling people (even his junior staff)
"for years" this is wrong, Andrew Neil seemed to cut him off.

She could always try being an escort or pole dancer.. or maybe she missed the boat on that one too.

I watched that and I thought the BTL point was conspicuous by it's absence.
Like millions of people in this country, she has lived the dream and now it's time to pay the price. The family income must be well above the UK average and I bet her and her husband have university educations. If they're too stupid or greedy (or both) to realise that you cannot live outside your means indefinitely then I hope they feel some pain. Sad thing is the level of stupidity or greed (or both) shown by a huge proportion of the people in this country will ensure we all feel that pain.

Andrew Neil - who?

Rosie, is a very clever political operator.
5. montesquieu said...
She is also a darn sight easier on the eye than Krusty I have to say.
6. bystander said...
Bit early to be drinking that heavily montesquieu. Mrs Millard and Krusty are a pair of coyotes. IMHO

@bystander...
was thinking the same... pmsl.. there you go Rosie, first client...
8. Fair_deal said...
@2 wiltshire,
yes greed and stupidity both. Some people will learn it the hard way.
9. Jackas said...
Poor Rosie Millard.
Nice house though.
10. montesquieu said...
Yes but if you HAD to choose it would be a no-brainer.
11. jack c said...
All a bit long on words and short on content (IMHO) - other than the bit about the "Brown economy"
12. bystander said...
If I HAD to choose, I'd keep drinking.
13. Mightytharg said...
Just a technical point bystander... It's not Millard or Krusty who are the coyotes here. The coyotes would be the ones gnawing off their own bodyparts to avoid the two of them.

Lads, lads, first "tasty" housing ministers and now this debate on Rosie Millard's uh... virtues. I thought this was a family blog.
16. Stevie Dee said...
