Because you can't lose. Paying 25K in rent would be wasted money compared to 25K in stamp duty !!!

There's a lot of schemes in western countries to support their housing bubbles. Would be interesting to see if others followed suit. We all know that the QE(Term Funding) scam and Low IRs is the real driver though. People have been falling over themselves to be come richer by paying more for shelter!!!

More crap from the ECB today about transitory inflation. Meanwhile the price of shelter goes to the moon. What can be done about these criminals ?

UNproductive spivs rewarding themselves. Whatever could do wrong !!! We are heading for a currency crisis and the mother of all collapses. Given the BoE etc are all refusing to raise interest rates even in the face of 10% inflation means their system is broken.

Some people will do anything to make themselves feel important.

Bets get rid of Sunak then

How I told her what a cow she was...

Tax payers FORCED to pay bankers £8.7Bn

I'd exempt anyone on here from falling for their shenanigans.

Of course not. Though looking at the over 70s I know, plenty of them are suffering. They are scared to go out, to travel, to see friend. They dread be "pinged" by the NHS app. They've imprisoned themselves and we're paying for them.

"The government" are going to stop people speaking out against them. Be afraid.

The US 10 year bond yields are down below 1.2%, they are giving money away and ignoring inflation. Saw someone post that they'd got a 30 year fixed mortgage in the US for 2.5%. If inflation does tip, that is free money....though their house will be worthless. Funny old game.

The BoE say a lot of things...then the markets shoot up. Then the fall, then they say more stuff, then they go up. It's a scam.
