This is quite interesting, as I carried on clicking:
The SEC alleged that liquor giant Diageo, maker of Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, and Tanqueray, violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the law that covers international bribery and corruption cases. Diageo, in Edinburgh, Scotland, was accused of handing out $2.7 million in bribes to government officials in South Korea, Thailand, and India.

Why don't we gather round in a circle, hold hands, sing hymms and wish for lower prices?

Encouraging new building that would help to rebalance supply and demand is stupid because prices are too high.

Increasing mortgage lending that would take people out of the rental trap is stupid because prices are too high.

Time to stop wanting and wishing - what's the solution?

We need one soon because we'll end up with a shed load of people who have spent a working life renting and expecting the taxpayer to fund their rent in retirement.
