    We were screwed either way. Their money was off shore. It would've been us that couldn't get our money out. There is no doubt that the bankers laughed it all off and took some more cocaine.

    labour didn't regulate the banks because they were in bollock deep with them Mario.In fact the entire commons are in bollock deep with them,no difference between the tories and labour,one may have a more softer approach on welfare but other than that there is very little to choose.Milliband didn't forget to mention the defecit in his speech,he meant to leave it out because it was an embarrassment to them.

    Just some of them are more no good than the others !
    Now there is not one party that I think will do good, just one that will do not quite as much hurt to the ones that can least afford the pain. Labour have become a Tory back up plan. The Lb-Dems are just a bunch of power hungry ****ers that sold their soul for a piece of gold. Ukip a bunch of even more right wing Tory pillocks. Only leaves the Greens and Socialist Party that I have a empathy with.

    For me, the key is that once again the government have not promised to freeze pensions, which is the biggest part of the welfare bill by far. Scared of old people because they are more likely to vote, its about time younger people got off their a****e and voted.

    And I have no doubt they'd have soon found new, equally obscenely well paid, jobs with other banks.

    Not everybody who owns a second home, purchased through a buy to let mortgage, is rich or even well off. That's a bit like saying that everyone one benefits is a scrounger so let's put things in perspective. I do take issue with holiday homes in picturesque little villages that are sat empty fifty weeks a year.

    But they do have the option to let the asset go. If people can't afford a second home they shouldn't be leveraging off their existing home or stretching to get a second. There are very few (I can't bring any to mind) circumstances where I can empathise with someone complaining that they are financially compromised by their property portfolio. I really think that when there is a housing shortage and the market is so over valued we should be taking steps to stop people treating houses as commodities or profit making tools. People talk about houses as 'investments' - houses should be homes. That's just my ever so slightly Marxist view.

    Somebody has to own them, whether it be local authorities (all sold off), housing associations, mega rich landlords or small time owners who stretch themselves to get a home and use it as an investment against retirement.

    net migration figures in excess of 200,000 every year has had a massive impact on the housing stock,its not just people who are looking for 'investments' who are to blame.

    Doesn't have to be and I'm not claiming that it is.
