A new member could sign up here and on their very post simple say that "there will not be a HPC" - nothing else. That would shortly be followed by one of the usual suspicious paranoid characters replying "TROLL!!!", followed the sidekick's "Get lost you EA scum" or something equally as revolting. I've seen it far too many times on this forum. I may have a low post count, however I have actually browsed this site since well before 2009 and remember the likes of CGNAO's "Protect Yourselves, they're coming for you". And anyone who has over 20k posts on this forum really needs to sort themselves out before they're knocking 70k posts, aged 90, and on the cusp of kicking the bucket after having a miserable life calling people "TROLL!!!!" every other day. Agree I am amazed at the number of people who post loads of messages here or on any web site every day - they need to get another hobby. The rage and anger against anyone who does not think that house prices will plummet is bizarre. An few people can hold a sensible discussion but there are a large number who are just angry and stamping their feet.  There are other things to talk about in life and are totally obsessed by price of houses.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, that anger has had a long time to build up. TBH I am constantly shocked that there aren't many more people angry about the state of housing in the UK and the constant manipulation towards higher prices. it should have brought down governments a long time ago IMO. And yes there are some asshole HPC'ers. Just as there are some asshole landlords. This thread to me seems like the perfect opportunity for the more radical on both sides to get together and fling shit at each other. Meanwhile those of us interested in sensible discussions can spend our time elsewhere.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I agree the problem is that any change would create lots of losers (recent FTB etc) which could be one reason why there is little political appetite to fix it. HPC would help a lot of people - and also harm a lot of people who don't morally deserve it, like my neighbour who was fed up of having problems with landlords and recently paid a fortune for house that should have been about a third of the price it was!

This is an utter cluster**** created by a mixture of incompetence and greed. The fear that you have eluded to amongst our political elite is all too real. They have been playing a game of pass the parcel in the hope that they will be out of office when it all goes sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Bunny Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The objective of politicians is to be elected. The 2nd objective is re-elected.
