Ponzi Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just heard the interview on Today - 0810 with Attack Dog Humphries who at last wasn't going to let it lie about rampant HPI. Came right at the end of the interview. I frightened the Ponzi household by my shouting....if Darling believes it's supply and demand then there really is no hope.

'Bart' Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 So what happened to supply, has it suddenly increased? Very odd that HPI should tail off at the same time as the supply of cheap credit dried up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeb Radio 4 Today link key words 8.10 hrs Was listening to that interview on the way to work. I thought JH did a pretty good job of laying the blame squarely with Gordon, almost being forgiving to Darling the fall guy. I was expecting the media to be fawning over Labour, but looking at today's frontpages and the broadcast media, the message that we are going to be taxed to ****** for a very long time indeed is quite, quite clear.

Can we possibly taxed much more than we are now? Time to leave England imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget most of the media lose out due to the 45% rate and other changes.They wont be happy.plus most were in the BTL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_ichikawa Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Can we possibly taxed much more than we are now? Time to leave England imo. Feudal Japan often had 125% tax rates, where all the harvest was taken and conscripts taken to fight for the warlords.. Farmers got around this by hiding their harvests.

fluffy666 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 All taxation is theft. There's a subtle difference. Try having money in places like Somalia, where there are no taxes. Then you'll discover the difference between government taxation and the alternative, warlord taxation.. warlords don't have tax loopholes.

Realistbear Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Virtually nothing is ever said about the fact that the decade of miracles occured simply because Brown road the GLOBAL wave of irresponsible debt expansion that allowed houise prices to get out of control. What was going on in America was going on here only more so--our debt fuelled housing bubble is much larger than the US in the sense that our entire market is a bubble whereas the US hotspots were confined primarilyy to the coastal markets. Our level of HPI was also much higher with houses at the peak having risen 3 fold in a decade. Now that Brown blames America for the crash* surely he should credit America for the previous expansion? Or was it the case that Americas decade of HPI madness was not a good thing? And if he agrees it was not why then did he allow the exact same bubble to form here? ______________________________ * It is not entirely clear what Brown is saying in theis regard. He constantly refers to the crash/bust having "started" in America and one mjsty assume that he is saying that, BUT FOR, the collapse in the bubble in America we would still be seeing the benefits of his miracle HPI-MEW-BTL economy. It is time someone pinned him down on what he means by "it started in America." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyHouse Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was discussing this with my teenage daughter on her way to school. She asked me who will be paying for all these bailouts. I said "You will". Eeeeh, I'm such a cheery Daddy sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very salient point imo. The same with that bastion of decency and good taste "The Sun", let no one forget this is Murdoch speaking.

Sounds far too switched on to me.... at her age I'd have been far to concerned with who I was going to swap my Kevin Kegan sticker with to be worried about the economy.

Dr Renter Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think she may have booked an advance bankruptcy hearing, for 2012. I'd advise her to do A level French and Spanish so she can bugger off after University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Hatred Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 He's right - it was lack of supply, but he missed off the bit at the end, where he meant to say "...of ridiculously easy credit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
