I am not convinced the problem is EAs. A Percentage of a house sale with 25% off is better than no house sale at all. I hope you have a plan b, as surely your 12 years of waiting was obviously wrong. Just think you'd be about 50% through your mortgage now.

If running a successful nation is bribing someone to vote for you, then yes she is guilty. Though if anyone actually bribed people to vote for them it was Labour, giving money away for nothing, creating pretend jobs. Personally, I see me voting BNP in future. I am very disappointed with this new Government, and it is clear they are just as lieing, inept and pathetic as the previous one.

No its not. Neither Employers or Employees NI is paid till income exceeds £5715 PA and only on the amount over that limit.

In what way did Thatcher fail? I remember things being a lot better under her, and her winning 3 elections in a row. The policies at the time inspired people to work hard and be self sufficient. Today we have policies inspiring people not to bother and be dependent on the work of others. Sorry but what this should really mean is low taxes, where I spend my money on what I want. Those that dont work dont have any money to spend. Sounds fair to me.

I live in the north, that's for a 4 bedroom detached house. As a single fella how many bedrooms do you think I need exactly? Though If I were you, id spend my time sorting out your dead end life on benefits rather than trying to make snotty comments towards me.

But thats all well and good as a theory, but we have been saying the same for years! Even if you say it was only from 2005 that's 5 years of rent (its more like 8) So either £36k (5 years) or £57k ( 8 years) for me personally. The house I like now is £200k, 10 years ago it was £97k. Its now impossible for me to get back the money wasted in renting. A point comes where you have to realise you were wrong and move on.

Well as a renter, the big fail in this argument is concerning retirement. Are you going to work for all your life to be able to pay rent? The ideal position is to buy, pay off as soon as possible and then have the vast majority of your income as disposable.

There is no austerity, there are no cuts being made. Budgets for years into the future are still greater than the budget for previous years. You are being fooled if you think otherwise. We have been in a recession for years, maybe even decades. There has been no growth in our economy, just an increase in government spending and debt. That is not growth.

Whatever they want.

Just becus you're poor and cant afford a house and are savings as much as you can, doesnt mean that everyone is in the same boat.

Masters of the land Always get our share Clear away the barricades And we're still there!

Yeah, theres a big demand for their worthless degrees elsewhere. That's the real problem. People doing expensive but useless qualifications at the tax payers expense.

And those miners were crushed, starved and soundly defeated. Just like the students.

How can it cost anything? A day at work producing nothing is just the same as a day off producing nothing.

That's right. The only way to fix the problem is to make people dead. I predict WWIII in my lifetime.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Have you seen the waiting room at your doctors? Mine is filled with professional malingerers with notes the size of the phone book.

Do they? Tell me from what I said the price of the house I am going to buy? And this made sense? You own a house outright and spend all day on a house price website, does not compute. Man? Are you revealing your roots there?

Yeah. Thankfully Ill be buying with a £100k deposit, and a 1.5 x income mortgage next year. Hows your plan going?

Well, theres no way I can prove it, and I dont care what someone like you thinks about me anyway. And yes, all of us who have waited for house prices to drop have fked up. Only just realised? Yep, it has so far!

Back then I wasnt, now I am. Is this so hard to follow? Believing in HPC has cost me a lot of money. Thankfully being so awesome everything will still work out.

Why should you? Where do you draw the line? When did it become your problem? And if it is your problem, how are you going to help all the blind people in the world?

You really do believe everything you read dont you. Im an "IT worker", and this year has been the most lucrative of my life. In fact I have doubled the deposit that took me over 10 years to save, in a single year. You should watch the program "An Idiot Abroad" on India, it shows what its really like there. Do you think someone from there can compete? And if so, why dont they concentrate their talent on raising their own country out of the sewer, or just even fit some drains for instance.

Lets stop them and see. I dont need to pay 40% of my wages to stop someone taking my job lol. Lets all stand on our own two feet, those who have taken out mortgages they cant pay, get on the street. Those who cant afford an operation, dont have one. Those who have kids who need an education, pay for one. Wouldnt life be grand if everyone paid for what they wanted, and what they needed and more importantly what they could afford. P.S. You must feel very nervous if you think the benefits pay some scum not to take your job. lol Oh and you are always on here during the day.

No, you seem to think not having a job is the same as being a burden on me. I dont care if people work or not. I only care about having to pay for them! Its also very telling on a topic about being idle that you all have managed to make a lot of posts during office hours. Ripping your employers off much?

You just cant grasp the actual problem can you. Not enough work? The problem is too many people. Until steps are taken to help with that problem, there will never be a final solution lol. Lefties like your good self have caused this problem. It would have been quite simple to stop immigration, not reward teenage pregnancies with free houses and so on. But since we had a lovely communist regime we did the complete opposite, so dont go crying when something serious has to happen. Too many people not working, not enough working to pay for those not working. Its not going to end well.
