£5k down, only £495k left to pay? FTB are saved:
Harsh, can`t see debt seekers liking that.

How’s the crackdown on airbnb in Edinburgh going?
Higher rates for longer is the best medicine to beat AirBnB.

Also found this interest post on substack:
https://decodingpolitics.substack.com/p/canada-is-a-zero
It relates to Canada but in fact likely applies to the UK also, I wonder when the following will become evident in the UK:
Interesting, this is going to be a thread to keep an eye on.

I had too look this up… hadn’t noticed, sums it up for me.
wifey and I went to a recording of room 101 with Paul Merton hosting a few weeks ago. He came across as really nice guy. One of his guests made a remark about making a political joke and audience not laughing
Paul said, I only do political jokes on HIGNFY as the audience is interested in the news
in other situations 2/3 of the audience won’t get it as they don’t watch the news or read newspapers.
btw it is these people who voted Brexit for the most part with the huge turnout there was for the vote.
Exactly, the "outrage" is all in the fantasy mind of the people who produce TV media, most people are not interested nowadays, they are busy filming themselves talking shit on TikTok or obsessing over some celeb on Twitter, watch some of the content on SKY - Press preview for example - just people you have never heard of talking at great length about stories in newspapers that hardly anyone reads - totally absurd and irrelevant IMO.

I guess the question is not whether to dump AI shares (if you are already in NVDA or whatever), but whether now is a good entrypoint.
Take some profit and keep some invested maybe? Now probably is not a good entry point but that doesn`t mean these companies will not go higher. I have one pension which just invests in a global tracker, obviously heavily influenced by the U.S and big tech, and another pension which has separate index funds for the main global regions, any event that crashes a market to a temporary lower level is a buying opportunity and I dabble in other funds held in an ISA, maybe one idea if a recession unfolds would be buying into a small company fund on the way down and along the bottom in hope of a recovery being good for those smaller companies.

Why would you dump AI?
It honestly beggars belief how ill-educated and entitled you clowns feel. Just what will you take a risk on to financially better your life?
Love your Ponzi schemes don"t you? A.I, property, EU....LOL

I've yet to find an official definition of just what constitutes "poverty"
Despite the word being thrown around so much there doesn't appear to be any specific definition.
I have seen various differing attempts at vaguely defining "poverty" based on it being a percentage of the average UK income and from my own back of fag packet calculation scraped together from different sources the one figure I arrived at was that for a household of one adult and one child if they have less than approximately £280 a week to live on after housing expenses then they are classed as "living in poverty"
To my mind £280 per week for a one adult one child household after rent or mortgage isn't really my idea of a poverty stricken subsistence level of existence.
That"s right, the media likes to bang on about "poverty" though, TBH there must be a LOT less people watching SKY etc. than used to?

Yep, sitting on a rammed bus yesterday with people even more stressed now about how hard they will need to pound that hamster wheel to pay off all that now expensive debt reminded me of how much I loved the lockdown experience, LOL.

They did in 1939 and so decided not to occupy or take on the Finns even when they sided with Germany in the 40s The Finns literally terrified the Russians into not trying again.
Russia even sold Finland weapons to try and keep them out of NATO
The guy called "The White Death" was involved in that?

Pretty sure you were wrong on that one, depends if you need the money I suppose.

You can try and lecture me on Nordics and war but you will fail on both given I know quite a few Nordics, had a Norwegian girlfriend and happened to have served in the armed forces and been shot at for a good chunk of it.
Go tell the Finns they are a cake walk - if you have a '40s mindset' you wll know why the Russians chose not to ****** with them in the 40s.
You have a very simplistic view of the world if you think all women think about is being knocked up vs their freedom and where they live / lifestyle.
As I understood it the Russians did f*uck with them, and regretted it later?

Markets decide and the evidence is that this property is seriously overpriced given location, property type, and changed market conditions. Despite this, the 'professional advice' given the OP on Mumsnet is to hold the price. Estate agents have become fixated on keeping properties off their competitors' books and sellers' interests are left to go to hell in handcart. Marketing it at a realistic price on day one had to be in the seller's best interests.
It is a cult, the EA`s and sellers can"t help themselves.

And it's worked for 20 years as govt got behind the stupid aspirational f#ckwit demographic. Sadly.
True, don"t think the bond market will let them get behind it any more though, a lot of people are going to be absolutely f*ucked on their debt load, especially since Japan seems to have staggered out of the cheap debt party into the sunlight at long last?

Turns out we were all on the wrong track. Someone has been thinking out of the box on Mumsnet. They have worked out a way to sell it with only a small tweak to asking price.
"Just needs some new photos to market it a bit better and a bit more attention paid to the garden"
If you read the threads over there you will find page after page after page of "just tweak the photos, more light, tidy this or that in the garden, move this bed here to make the room look bigger etc. etc." deep down they know it is the price but by never acknowledging this and saying the same mantras over and over again do they hope to fend off reality like a Priest in an 80`s horror film clutching his crucifix as the dark force rises against him "No price drops, none at all, Kirsty is our Lord our Protector, thou shalt not fall!"

You've seen it all before in the last millennium. Cycles are very outdated and arguable irrelevant way of looking at a globalised world
It"s not a globalised world any more, it is becoming a polarised world more and more every day

Towards the end of this thread there is a lot of advice on cheap accommodation, it certainly isn"t "hotels" though, personally I feel anything beyond a Travelodge is basically a waste of money, there are deals if you spend time on their website in advance, you need to be mindful of the areas they are situated in though because there is no value if you are constantly on alert just walking over the street at night.
Sorry, forgot to post the thread!

Bit of a sidetrack but planning on visiting London in a few weeks time.
Have not booked my hotel yet.
Have any recommendations for good reasonably priced hotels in the capital?
Thinking a good area to stay will be Kensington but not sure. Isle of Dogs looks a good option too.
Any opinions welcome.

Or maybe swim far out to sea away from all his troubles. Got to feel some sympathy though, what happens if loads of people just stop paying?
