Turnbull2000 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Why is the Daily Express always so bullish on House Prices? I have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation for this. Are they all just VI Landlords or what? Owner Richard 'Dirty' Desmond. Until he took over, the Express used to be quite a reasonable paper. Since that day, Diana, immigrants, health scares, weather scares and house prices (especially) became the overriding editorial concern. Desmond holds a private property portfolio and a couple of years ago publicly stated his views on housing - that prices will continue to rise and that young people will be foolish not to jump in before it's too late.

loginandtonic Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 No they actually deal in reality. Unlike you. House prices are going up. You might not want to hear it but its true. No I'm not worried. Once average house price reaches £175k your problems will be over. dont be silly sibley, look at the fundamentals of the economy - massive debt, rising unemployment, banks patched up by fantasy money, you're dreaming lad. my best advice to you: go out with your mates or partner, it's sat night and you're only young once, babysitting this crash wont get you anywhere but waste your best years.

Once average house price reaches £175k your problems will be over. ffs sibley open your eyes to the bigger picture. House prices going up a touch is pretty much fecking irrelevant here, the uk is in deep water as is our currency. Take a look at the gilts thread or some of the financial threads to understand just how serious this really is. Get of your **** and stop jabbering about houses going up, they don't mean sh1t at this stage. on another note, why is a 1.7% increase a JUMP but larger falls were never a dive or crash?

The express like most of the tabloid press is no better than a comic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now inevitable. Way of the british system everyone jumping on the bandwagon,only way to go for many.
