Will Brown still pump billions into the housing market ?

What do you guys think, I think Brown is so detached from reality that its a real possibility that at the Labour Party conference he is going to go full speed into oblivion.

  • Of course he will. It's not like it's his own money or anything.

    of course cos after all " hes listening"

    The problem is, (it seems fairly obvious to me?) that it will all be quite pointless if libor goes up again- which it has todayas I thought it would- what good is saving SDLT up to 175 if the buyers cant get the mortgage at the rate they can afford? As other banks jitter and potentially fail then surely libor will go up and up???
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    As putting that money in is a futile excercise I'm sure he'll be going for it big time!! :D
