The goddess of BTL is a con artist
ThisIsMoney: The truth about 'broke' Rosie Millard
She published columns in the Times propping up BTL because of her huge vested interests. "• A £900,000 Grade-II* listed Georgian home in one of Islington's most exclusive residential squares. • A £ 600,000 four- bedroom Victorian house in Hackney. • Two buytolet loft-style apartments near Liverpool Street worth a total of about £600,000" AH AHHAHAHHAH HAH Islington and the City... these will be the areas worst affected by the crash!!!

Ms Millard admits she finds it hard to cut down on spending and 'can't live' without 'a decent haircut', designer clothes, Stila make-up and the New Yorker magazine. She also told how after a period of abstinence, she went on a shopping trip for children's clothes before heading to the West End for a show and an expensive meal.
Oh poor lass!
Oh stop - my sides can't take anymore.......

Excellent to hear. I think that the 'broke' description is about on the money for this lovely lady though. Whilst the article describes her as 'sitting on a large property empire', she quite clearly actually owns little of this and is already up to her scrawny neck in negative equity. My recommendation to sorting out this mess and avoiding the enui that has so cruelly blighted her life: flog the lot at a loss save for the 'chic' Paris apartment near the Moulin Rouge, move in and rent the rooms out to some of the spirited, industrious young ladies who roam the streets in that charming area of Paris. That way she can still chase her dream of being a landlady and the flat would no longer be 'permanently in arrears'. Hell, it could be her 'Millard Towers III', though the name may not pull the punters in.

"...Yet the Evening Standard can reveal that the flamboyant former arts correspondent and her husband are sitting on a large property empire..."
Well, only about 5 months ago she was quiote liberally 'putting it around' that she had been flipping properties in the Times. Don't forget this was a basic human commodity...Perhaps by chance Karma Rosie?

Her family will have to live on beans on toast for the rest of their lives. Sad.

This just through from Reuters: 'Alistair Darling is preparing a Save-Rosie-Millard-Fund, whereby the BOE will loan Rosie 1.5 billion pounds as long as she hands over the keys to her house and allows Mrs Darling free use of her Jimmy Choo (who he?) shoes at weekends. Said Mr Darling, "we just cannot standby and watch the likes of Mrs Millard unable to spend beyond her means. It has a catastrophic effect on the economy and we have to kickstart Mrs Millard to get back to spending as soon as possible". Mr Darling went on to explain that Mrs Millard's predicament wasn't her own doing it was "down to the sub-prime mortgage market in the US". When asked how the British taxpayer would feel Mr Darling said that he quite frankly didn't give a toss but both he and Mr Brown (that Scottish bloke who's the stand-in Prime Minister) were both looking forward to early retirement within the next 15 months. Mrs Millard is 57.

I've got to admit that on first reading I thought you were suggesting that Mrs Darling swings both ways because I thought that a Jimmy Choo sounded like a nickname for a part of Millard's anatomy.
We are simple naive folk down here in Somerset!!

We're not much better here in Norfolk Denzil. I'd never heard of Jimmy either until I read it in the article!

On saturday Radio 4, 10:30 am is this the same lady.
Rosie and the Non-Doms
No wonder she had access to all these people

Also I would like to ask this article talks about what the property is worth.
That means nothing till the time you sell it. Which in current market who knows.
What is more important is her equity in the portfolio.. Also can she survive i.e pay mortgages for the millions of pounds worth of property till she is finally able to sell and realise anything.
So just saying that she has £2 million worth of property means nothing...
Loose toungue reporting
