Exactly. And lets not forget the biggest benefit scroungers in this country, the royal family.

Abolish the Bank of England, and with it fractional reserve banking and money creation from thin air. Monetary policy to be taken control by the treasury / government.

Not Rightmove in particular, but since mid last year I've seen many estate agent's 'sold' boards quickly put up for several houses, only for the 'for sale' signs to reappear about a month later.

I was going to mention of Michael Rivero's documentary "All wars are bankers wars" as an even shorter version of Bill Stills excellent "Money Masters" and "Secret of Oz" documentaries. Nothing tinfoil hat about that.

You left out 'Putin', just about everything gets blamed on him nowadays.

I predict a hung parliament and coalition government. The lib Dems or Greens (parties opposing Brexit) will become king makers to either Cons or Labour. Essentially, the minority party in coalition government will become the whipping boys of any failed Brexit strategy from the main parties, especially hard Brexit; Anything, and everything, regarding Brexit will be blamed on them. It is really what both the main parties / elite want anyway; Brexit in name, but everything will remain the same.

When banks are flogging BTL mortgage, you know its time to exit / do the opposite.

A couple of quotes from a close friend of mine, which have all been heard before on this site. "Houses only ever go up.... / You can't lose on houses....." "You must get on with your life and buy a house...." (I don't know why he thinks I'm not getting on with my life, but I think I'm getting by quite nicely) "With the amount of money you have (which he has no idea, but it is close to a healthy 6 figure sum anyway) I would have bought several houses and rented them out...." (yeah, right) "Everyone starts from with a basic flat, or house in a crappy area, and then moves up the ladder....." (I wander why he hasn't done so then since buying his first house 10 years ago). When comparing our lives, this friend of mine is laden with debt (mortgage, CC, loans, etc), works two jobs (around 12 hours a day), and frequently switches for better deals on his outstanding loans and credit cards. God knows how he manages, the thought of the hours he is putting in day in day out and the amount of debt he has is horrifying! I have noticed changes in him over the years (for the worse) and can physically see the stress on his face. Compare it with my current lifestyle, I have contracted and saved very hard over the years. I can outright buy a flat or a cheap house (in a cheap area of the country) without any mortgage debt if I wanted to, but I chose not to. I can now work when and where I like, which I haven't done so for a year through my own choice. Last time I saw my friend he commented on how I don't seem to age very much, and asked what my secret was.....

And this one;

Not much into dance or techno music, but have always liked these two;

Yep. She is about to grab your nuts and squeeze them hard!

There were times where Kuenssberg looked and sounded as though she was about to break down in tears. I noticed this right after the victory was announced, and also when she was outside no. 10 waiting for Moron's announcement.

Prices would have to drop a great deal in my opinion, maybe up to 60 % of current prices depending on which area you live. Though, I look at it in these terms; When I can buy the average sized house in a decent area (not some sh1tbox, or flat) for 3-4 times of average local salary. Chances of that happening look very slim, so I may never buy in this HPI obsessed debt ponzi land. Chances of relocating / buying abroad, where I see fair value, is increasingly looking like a possibility.

I wouldn't look at a fall in % terms. I would look at the average size of house available in the area and if it is available to buy at 3-4 times of local average earnings. Until then, bugger off!

I have previously used FC Exchange or HIFX for currency transfers between banks.

This house has been on sale for some time (don't have property bee, so can't tell): http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-34638900.html?premiumA=true. It's had a price drop and an open day about a month or two ago, still hasn't sold. Meanwhile, https://houseprices.io/ tells me that transaction volumes for this town (Wellingborough) has been falling month on month. Yet, if I search for other houses in this town I am seeing more and more open days for other houses. All this suggests is that desperate EA's in this town are using London tactics with open days to create a fictional frenzy, when in reality there isn't any.

I don't want either of them; All the more reason for independence.

I don't get it..... The Scots are voting for SNP who are trouncing Labia and Cons in Scotland, but yet they couldn't agree to SNP's policy of independence a couple of months back. WTF!

Hello dear HPCers, I'm due to start work abroad (first time working abroad) and require information regarding banking. Grateful for your advice. My situation: Due to start work abroad, being renumerated in US $ dollars (but not based in US / Americas). I'm a UK citizen with UK bank accounts. Salary being paid gross. Pointing my salary to my UK bank account and withdrawing abroad with my debit / credit cards is no problem. Though this raises the concern of being hammered with transaction and foreign currency fees when salary is paid in and when withdrawing cash abroad. So first obvious question is what is the best solution in my case where I can avoid these transaction fees (or pay very little). Secondly, I am guessing a US $ account would be beneficial in my case, since I will be based abroad and there will be very little need for me to convert US dollars to UK pound sterling (maybe once every 6 months, or longer). A friend of mine has suggested opening an account in Isle of Man / Channel Islands. Is this the best advice and would I need to travel there first to open an account?. Sorry, a complete novice here. Thanks.

Yep, exactly my thoughts too. I'm sure brainwashing corp / media will play this out to make Dave look like anti-EU / hero and just in time for the election. CaMoron can feck off with this gimmick. Regardless of whether he pays this demand (which I'm sure he wont), I will still be voting for UKIP.

It is amazing when you hear how the UK and US labels places like China and Iran as being corrupt states, when if the same crimes by the same bankers were to be committed here they wouldn't even land a prison sentence. At best they would be fined (if they were caught) which is nothing more for them than the cost of doing business. They are more likely to be applauded over here by Camoron and his homies than looked on negatively.

So, we can assume Saudi's economy will go t1ts up upon completion of this.
