Closely monitoring the inflationary situation...
btd1981 replied to A.steve's topic in House prices and the economy
Also stoking demand by passive-aggressive efforts to reduce home working -
UK inflation jumped to 9% highest for 40 years

Don't be asking for that pay rise, though, you greedy little plebs. -

Or, supplies from one of the world's largest producers to the UK has been significantly curtailed and petrol stations are a cartel of gouging *******s. -

PS obviously the same needs to happen in the housing market, whenever stamp duty is reduced 🤔 -

Photo caption: "A car is filled with petrol at a filling station, in Knutsford, Cheshire, Britain, March 10, 2022." How laughably precise for such a generic image 🤣🤣 -
That was what the news just said, but fair point. Just trying to think of any Tory politicians in their 50s with a high 53X drive 😛

A man in his 50s apparently 🤔

Do People Care Less About Rising Immigration?
btd1981 replied to byron78's topic in House prices and the economy
The problem I sometimes face is that saying that makes people think I'm a massive racist, but it's not that at all. Population growth, locally and globally, is just unsustainable in its current form, but it's a discussion most people refuse to have because there are some uncomfortable truths. That's for another thread though, sorry. -

Really not keen. PS I edited my post as you responded but it doesn't change anything really. -

btd1981 replied to byron78's topic in House prices and the economy
I don't care about immigration, so long as it is not net immigration. What's the end game? Either the population density in residential areas becomes so great that quality of life plummets so far that people don't want to come here anymore or we lose all of the countryside to the likes of Taylor Wimpey. A policy of zero or gently declining population growth would be nice, but fat chance of that. -
Can there be an extra option for 'I am not educated to a level at which I am sufficiently literate to be able to read this question'?

Why people who buy houses always win. Change my mind.
btd1981 replied to Horseradish's topic in House prices and the economy
Exactly. And to be honest taking out a massive mortgage at that time, with the GFC fresh in the mind and Carney promising to start ramping up interest rates "next time honest", should have been the actions of an unsound mind.
