Take a look at this beauty Ken and tell me you see it as a lump of silver
(picked one up from Chards 2 weeks ago for £807 inc VAT, cheapest I could find anywhere)
Chards are now selling them for £915!!!!!!

Indeed. We've had this conversation before and there is no one cheaper than Weighton. And he's a good guy too. I called him and he spent half an hour answering lots of questions I had on bullion some time ago.
Same here. Asked him a few total noobie questions and he very patiently explained things to me.
He gave me a couple of great recommendations for a few lesser known coins on his site too.
Aboslutely top bloke.

Cough
This is preperation for the collapse of civilisation
The government wont have to deal with tens of thousands of homeless people setting up camps on government land, it will all be handled efficiently and quickly by the private security staff of the new large estates
I've thought the same thing. The tories are planning big changes to squat and trespass laws.
No where left to run, nowhere left to hide from the Big Society.

Offer 10% less than you did originally. That should tell you what's really happening.
Oh to be a fly on the wall!

They'll sit on the empty properties, to keep their mark to market pretence - they won't market them.
The banks are incompetent and unfit for purpoase. They are parasitic and perform almost no useful function in comparison to the past. They are ineffcient, make bad judgement calls and are largly gambling dens poncing off the taxpayer for funds when they lose. They couldn;t run a real business to save ther life, they will certainly be shit at running a BTL portfolio. Bet a lot of these houses end up as squats.
I'm thinking the same thing. It's no wonder the Tories are working on new tresspass laws. A few countries have come down hard on squatters recently.
Countdown to the inevitable Daily Mail hate campaign.

Has anyone used http://www.bullionbypost.co.uk? I've noticed they've had some very good reviews, and have a very competitive price on 1oz Gold Krugerrand coins, even compared to the place needsleep quoted.

Oh please, the previous generation didn't save every single penny they had and had a much easier time saving for a house.
My Dad spent more on Vinyl and his Triumph than I spend on music and my 20 year old banger.

Did he have an answer? (a genuine question, not a criticism). I'd be interested in it because I agree with what you're saying, but haven't a clue what a good solution is.
Good point. Compared to Marx, Bakunin didn't offer nearly as much of a solid answer, which might have been why history favoured Marx and forgot Bakunin. Bakunin's 'soution' was the extension of liberty by the revolt of the individual, against the divine (god or state). His form of socialism was Collectivist anarchism because the conception of liberty is "eminently social".
I'm still working my way through his works, but I think there's alot to learn from his thinking, whether or not Collectivist Anarchism is an unworkable utopia (which it might well be, I'm still learning about it, but having a great deal of fun doing so).
-
In this regard Bakunin was 100% right.
This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Marx and Bakunin were correct in their diagnosis of the problems, but in their suggestions of a solution, only Bakunin was correct (that the state is not the answer).
Highly recommend reading Bakunin's work to anyone that appreciated Marx's analysis, but disagreed with his solutions.

I'm buying a jerrycan to collect all the tears of disappointed Estate Agents.

What's needed is a new bank with strict new ethics, started by a philanthropist billionaire.
Combined with strict regulation, all the others would be forced to follow the money.
Bill Gates is the only candidate I can think of, and :
1. I don't think he'd be up for it.
2. He'd have to apply his Gates Foundation head to it and not his Microsoft head, or it'd be no better than the rest.
Why do you need a new bank? There are a couple of them with strict, customer written ethical policies out there.
Bill Gates? Ethics?
-
I transferred everything to a mutual bank with an ethical policy and closed my major high street bank account.

I disagree, prices falling for their peak over several years until they approach the 3x average earning levels are not so much predictable as inevitable.
It was only inevitable before because that's what all the financial institutions agreed with each other it should be.
I Sincerely HOPE they return to that standard, but I wouldn't say it's inevitable.

Send Kirsty round with some twigs in a vase.
It's the age of austerity after all.

Rubbish!
China's, India's, or Brazil's to name but three governments which have been attempting to improve their people's lot.
The small time farmers in those countries who have been turfed off their land en masse would disagree with you.

It was liberty that was stolen. The land is not owned and ergo can't be stolen.
'landowners' are actually resellers of stolen human freedom
The theft is continuous, because liberty is being continually stolen with restriction

Presumably the deposit was held in the Tenant Deposit Scheme or similar? If so, they should be able to tell you how to action a dispute about the amount to be returned.
If the deposit isnt held in the scheme or similar, you are entitled to recover the full deposit plus 3x the deposit from the landlord.
see link http://www.thedisputeservice.co.uk/
No matter what you do, raise a dispute anyway. Even if you were planning on letting them keep some of the money, let them justify it to the dispute service first. If we all do this, they'll be less likely to take the piss.
Also, the dispute is between you and the landlord, so the letting agent will probably not want it to go that far as it means they are making more work for their client (the landlord) and may offer a discount to settle it without raising a dispute.

I'd run away, run away fast and far.

Years ago, the people I knew on the dole were eating cheap mince meals, watching a telly that was probably from the tip, sitting on 2nd hand furniture and wearing hand me downs.
These days it's graduates who are living like this.

I fill up to the brim whenever it's cheap.
I've also recently bought a car after a few years of being solely dependent on public transport (trying to set up a business) and gone for a fairly old diesel which cost me £2000. Slight bit of a guzzler but that's more than offset by how little I use it, how little it cost, zero interest payments because I paid for it outright, minuscule insurance payments and for extra savings I bought a decent tool set and joined an owners club so I have access to advice and cheap parts.
Saving money, and got myself a hobby that teaches me something everyday.

the government has set up the Clearing House Fund to help housing associations in England buy some of the surplus housing stock that private developers fail to sell.
I knew this would happen. Lucky escape for the developers, and unlucky for those hapless professionals that fell for the 'Luxury Apartment' guff and will now be living next to Wayne & Waynetta.

The Labour Party are most definitely NOT Social Democrats. A lot of their ideologies are blatantly FASCIST.
So who would run this Utopian Britain?
Cause after being viciously attacked for the last 13 years, Id rather chew off my own arm, than vote for the Fascist Evil Labour Party.
Whoever was running it. However it was Re-badged.
