"He really only has the one speech: “I’m right. Everyone else is wrong. Shut up.”

>> Very much like his detractors "You are wrong" - but they cant even follow it up with "We are right", because they dont actually have a plan.

They should put me in charge - I've got loads of ideas! :)

I'm skint too, we don't have a house of our own though  :'(
We have to work to pay council rent, and pay for our holidays  :-X
Proud to say we can't, and don't, claim a penny from anywhere.
How many other people can publicly proclaim they aren't on some sort of tax/benefit fiddle.

Not heard that one before.  ::)

I've read your last post once or twice now Cchris. (
Think I totally agree, a bloody stupid idea.

Then again, aren't/weren't some other mortgage deals not really suited to the people they were given to.
Small print: Investments may go down as well as up.
To me that means we'll leave it a few years and cream a profit off your investment. Your loss  8)

I'd swear blind my mum's got ripped off twice now.
Once with the endowment mortgage payment after my dad died,
and again when she took her superannuation pension on retirement  :( 

Sorry, ripped off was the wrong words. Thatcher let people buy their council houses.
Did the mortgage lenders also jump on the wagon and sell a few, not so good, deals  q?
