    House price rises are the only thing keeping the country afloat.

      So we need a crash and recession. Isn't economics cyclical?

        You're about to get your wish.
        But it won't help the low/middle income people on your graph as they'll disproportionately suffer the low wages/unemployment that results.

          Many thanks to Labour and their promotion of BTL.

            What? Did I just read a post by you where you didn't blame the EU?

            Has someone hacked GB9's account?
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                My wish was for some control of the madness when it started 15 years ago.

                I want bankers an boomers to suffer. Not the poor.

                    It does seem to be the case, that things are different.

                    Boomers have shafted the young, and don't intend to share any of the pie.

                    The greed of one generation screws it for everybody else.

                    Extremely selfish, but there you go.
