Any idiot knows the higher you build things the further they have to fall if you don't sort out sound foundations.

Yes, the sheeple remain protected and ignorant. Renters get kicked out of their homes if they become unemployed (and if they have savings over £3000, I believe. £3000 which might have been going towards a deposit) while homeowners are allowed to stay in their homes. Will any of this keep house prices high?

I agree ML - everything that Brown has done for the past ten years has been to support unsupportably high house prices, because he knows that the UK economy is reliant on them constantly rising, but just like the rise in GCSE grades - they are false rises. The people I feel sorry for are the tax-payers who have wisely not bought into the property market because they knew prices were too high, but who are now being punished by having to pay for those who weren't as wise. He should do more to protect jobs and less to protect stupid people.

Oh God what next? Now homeowners don't have to pay back their mortgages because the tax payer will pick up the bill. Next Brown will be promising that no homeowner will ever have to die. Keep satirising them til they bleed!

yes, a great joke! I'm happy to see this one again after 2 months.

Sadly so red

How true!
