Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Did you know Help To Buy(Sell) has their own Facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/HelptoBuyEngland Comments are welcome there. Feel free to give them your feedback on the 5% deposit down £600k housing scheme. Edited January 3, 2014 by Gone to Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantnrave Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 TPTB really are keen to push HTB as the solution to the affordability problem, without actually letting on that all their other hairbrained schemes are in fact the cause of the affordability problem. This Facebook site to me stinks of so much that is wrong with Britain today - property ramping, faux concern for others and a cheap social media page to get everyone to 'Like it'.

rantnrave Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well, I've suggested a couple of edits for the page - that it is not an 'organisation' but a 'scam'. Also, that it is not an official site and should instead be linked to this one: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Monkmoor-Sewage-Works-Stinks/210425602343173 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash In The Attic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Mine are all still there, and added some new ones. 'Impartial? Hahahahahahhahhahahahahaha' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash In The Attic Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 And my latest: “I’ve worked really hard to get where I am and I’m so proud of my new home; being the envy of all my friends is worth it!” No you haven't. You've been given an interest-free loan for a large amount of money, at taxpayers' expense. Still, it's a great feeling when all your inferior friends who rent are envious of you. Losers, eh?

Giordano Bruno Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 same here looks like you are with them or you will be shot at dawn but ... but ... to invite comments and then to remove comments from one side of the argument is ... well...dishonest! :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 there's quite a few on there from me. I have liked the page so I am aware what they are up to - I can then fight every post they make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCountOfNowhere Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 keep up the good work. that page is cringworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynardgravy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 That page is getting a right kicking in the comments - I don't think they can keep up. It's encouraging that this is being seen for the scam it is by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryrot Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 To OP - my heartfelt thx for this! The comments are great and I really needed cheering up! Truly, a wonderful FB link! My only worry is TPTB using the FB site as bait to get us to reveal our ID... No, been on ZH too long! No, lets all enjoy a Gov FB pratfall, even if we all have to deal with the macroecobomic consequences of F2B. Thx again GtI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickofRenting Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I want to put a comment on it somewhere along the lines of: 'I am legitimately saving up for a deposit for a place of my own so I could call it home. Trying to do the right thing and save approximately 25% towards the value of my home. This monster you call Help to Buy is diluting my deposit into a worthless pot. I work hard to build up the deposit and this is how you reward savers who like to have a bit of control and security in their finances? I consider myself Mid-low paid, income of about £22k PA. I might be a bit off key, but someone in my position, earning around the same wage as me but is very frivolous with money, made no real effort to save is rewarded by the state? He/she by-passes me by just getting 5-10% deposit using the Help to Buy and buys a home like many others thus pushing home prices up even further? This somehow reminds me of state encouraged sub-prime mortages.' Just my vent.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
