I think he was some how wound up then led down a path to the point where he was tricked by the reporter into saying some of these things.
However it is very big news and as mentioned, will KILL confidence.
Either that or a. we are being setup for some mega bad news or b. he has fallen out with GB (all mentioned already)

I like the fact the view count is fixed at 44,244 on a video about censorship of the internet.
It might be a fault but its pretty funny to think its rigged so it doesnt end up really high in the list so more and more people view it.

If you open the picture fully he has some pretty scary nose hair. I think thats what it is but either way he looks dodgy.

Just look on the main forum bit and about 30% of the topics have interestrateripoff as either the creator or last to reply.

Was peak July 07? (I've lost track with all the bear food recently)
If so, what is the from peak fall?
Can't wait to see little fatty Declan report on this when the figures are officially released.
-
As much as I would love it, I think the people (RB mainly) expecting 20% by xmas need to be a bit more realistic.
I would say 14% maximum.
RB- what are you basing this 20% prediction on anyway?
-
The little upwards blip on the red line....
Is that classed as a bull trap? (or is it bear)
-
For fun I quite like to look at this like all the idiots did on the way up.....
I didnt buy a 150k house a year ago so I have 'made' £15,000 this year by not buying. Thats over £1200 per month - fantastic!!
-
How come YoY is still so low?
I was expecting it to be nearer 10% to be honest.
Ignore this - I thought it was 6.1
-
Not sure we will see under 30 for a bit yet. It seems to be a barrier.
-
I get a different Google result
Yep, and when you look at it like that its not even a pss in the ocean.

The thing is, you know what the BBC etc are like.
If a big builder goes bust they will spin it along the lines of there will be less houses built, supply will decrease and prices will rise!!
-
Just to clarify....
At the moment the adjustments are working in their favout not ours?
I thought it was the other way around in that their adjustment is currently making the drops look bigger and in a few months at the same rate the adjustment will make the drops look even smaller - maybe even go + again.
??????

Somebody remind me how higher interest rates lower inflation?
-
Its not a like for like percentage but they now seem to be up 13% on this morning.
Gutted. I thought they would take another hammering today.

"Anyone taking its 95% mortgage deal must now pay the arrangement fee of £2,499 up front, instead of simply adding it to the sum of the loan"
As pointed ou on the first page this is they key. Infact IMO this is very big news!!!
Is any other bank doing this?
-
I dont know much about the stock market but Barrat have gone from 1260 per share to 70 all in the space of about 15 months.
Is that some sort of record?
-
"Lucky enough to own a house value currently 260,000. How is 13000 pound less value a 'plunge'????
chris, Bagshot, Surrey"
I saw this in the comments. Got really angry and wanted to slap the bloke but then just laughed. What a complete clown, these people just have no concept.
-
is the 23% a trigger percentage that gives them certain rights on the board? Seems a pretty weird percentage.
I think it is. I was looking at something the other day and somebody owned 23% in a company. It made me think about the B&B 23% so it must have some significance.
-
I can't see if this has been mentioned already in another post but can somebody please explain what the implications of this are in leymans terms?
Is it some sort of lending risk rating for other banks etc?

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Standard & Poor's on Monday cut its short-term ratings on Bradford & Bingley plc, and said it may cut them again, after the British lender said profits for 2008 will be significantly below current market estimates......."
-
Next Monday I think.
-
Who has the power to suspend the shares?
If its B&B that doesnt sound fair. If it looks like they are going to fall big time they are allowed to just put them on hold??
-
Ok, 16% down already at 70.
I'm still confident of a big rise later on in the day.
-
Yeah over 100 for me. Its a gamble but I'm sticking to it!
