Fergus - life-size, on screen and under scrutiny. Worth a thread on its own.....

spyguy Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The real story behind Fergus are: -Who actualy owns what? - How much money does he owe? I would assume that whoever owns MX book has full control over the houses and fattys just passing o nth rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsknot Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 They say the camera adds 10lbs... I don't think we'd notice. He is just the tip of a particularly grotesque iceberg and prior to public sentiment shifting, no doubt was held up as the pinnacle of 'smart property investing' by the media and every rag going. Even if his property empire implodes he's already done years of damage to his local area and no doubt a story replicated around the UK.

Habeas Domus Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Population of Kent =1.5 Million Average number of tenants / house = 2 Assuming an empire of 1000 houses at peak that means one person in 780 is a tenant of the Wilsons Number of employees to run a restaurant = around 6 at any one time. So if, as I surmise is rather likely, Fergus makes a habit of eating out at lots of different restaurants and diners, then roughly 1 time in 130 there will be someone on the staff who is a Tenant - or an "about to be a kicked-out" tenant. Will fergus recognise the tenant? probably not Will the tenant recognise Fergus? probably will We can all guess what's going to happen, it just seems like a matter of time.

Around the world too I think, at least USA and Oz that I've heard of. We should reserve some blame for the people who were responsible for the excessive growth of BTL and in Britain for the lack of any reasonable regulation. Again it's a failure even to attempt to limit exploitation of one group by another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are still dealing with Fergus and the idiot Browns lunacy today. I think Fungus has admitted that, he couldn't believe his luck. A tricky question, who was/is the worst out of our last four Prime Ministers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, he didn't seem particularly humbled by the insight. ... and I honestly couldn't even begin to contemplate rating them (although I'd say May is the least-worst - ineffectual and irrelevant, rather than monstrous, but it's a low-bar...)

Not quite. Although UK private sector debt/GDP peaked at an eye-watering 190% of GDP in 2010, Japan cleared 220% in the mid-90s. Belgium, Canada, Australia and China are all currently ~ 200% (vs UK's 170%). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancghirl Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 On BBC News right now, evicting a hearing impaired tenant with a young child, as they asked for repairs. At least his scumbaggery is being brought to a wider audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
