Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Carney just said that there was 'potential' for a bubble.

The withdrawal of special funds for borrowing was to apply those funds to business lending.

A dangerous situation is building up Hays. Carney is right to warn and act.

Hazyone,

It was a stupid ill-thought out policy in the first place.


Somebody, just made a comment about your friend Wavy Dave,

Not waving, but drowning and looking more like a creep on the international stage.

He seems to be a failure as an actor.

thanks sticky .... some rather contradictory views on there, but i thought the following interesting .... the forecasts suggest that lending will still fall a long way short of the boom years.

so in conclusion, is a bubble imminent? ..... probably not, but carney is quite right to flag that he is paying attention lest one materialises ..... at the very least, it gives confidence to the public at large that he has his hand on the tiller, and is on the ball .... thought you'ld enjoy the scrambled metaphor!

The po!icy hasn't changed. Carney just removed the ability of the banks to have access to cheaper money from the BoE. It was due to stop soon anyway.

Jacob Zuma was roundly booed when he stood up to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela.

As crowds streamed out of the FNB Stadium, those that remained showed their disapproval as the South African President waited to begin his speech.

Same should have happened with Cameron the hypocrit.

GOBSMACKED.... just look at this.............

Working People Claiming Housing Benefit Soars By 104%

It's to early for the "feel good effect" lead in yet as the election is 2015 apparently, unless they don't fancy trying to win as they think they will have little chance... Bit soon for that though.

hardly an unbiased report was it! ...... lots of conclusions drawn which cannot actually be supported by fact

it may also be relevant to know the rules surrounding housing benefit - e.g. in awarding benefit, are the salaries/incomes of all residents consolidated?
perhaps they; perhaps they're not; it's a straight question
if they are not, then they damn well should be and the rules changed accordingly

with regard to the level of rents, it is of course a simple matter of supply and demand - as with houses themselves

Stan, I think itl all go down to those live election televised broadcasts. Remember last time Clegg was PM for 2 weeks LOL.

Itl be between milly and Camoron, and I reckon milly as his beating on a 1 to 1 especially if he gets camoron worked up.

Cyners Yes i think they are all consolidated. You mean a seperate income figure for man and wife or partner??. then a grand total.

GF,

If the above is correct it shows the stupidity of much of the economic policies of this coalition.

Sheer stupidity to have people being paid to be unemployed when the could be subsidised and doing something useful in society and improving the general economy.

Stupid to be paying tax payers money into the hands of the private landlords, when with adequate "social housing" the equity of it would belong to the state and the state drawing and "income" from many of the tenants.

========

Taxation of the poor used to increase the wealth of the more affluent in a society.

Hi fred,

the problem in a way and I dont like going back retro is that of all the council houses maggie T sold, 66% are now in the hands of private landlords.

Private lanlords like myself and cynic are not regultated as tightly as we should really be.

Having said that I bet cyners like me is a good private landlord but their is a lot in fact a majority who are not and spoil it for the good ones.

It can be really difficult to make a profit on a private tennancy a lot harder than people think.

fawlty - you writing even more drivel than usual, hard as that may be to believe
