Lock both the chancers up and throw the key away. Throw them the occasional scrap of bread to make sure they survive long enough to properly suffer for their sins.

I with you on that!

These pair are unreal, How many people out there would love to be able to sell their story to the tabloids, or do a TV advert to help them dig their way out of their own financial crisis? Shes lucky she can!

I find it offensive that AT and partner, would think that we give a rats backside that shes having to go to the tabloids to sell her plight, because they are now in the financial mire and want to keep their mansion!

Arrrwwwh poor little Anthea.

She could always ask Eamonn Holmes if he can help her get her job back with GMTV.

There have been HPC doomongers in one guise or another every since I took any interest in economics in the early 80's & I am sure since time immemorial.
Bob Beckman in 1983 published "The Downwave".

Many HPC members would argue that the people who wanted the housing bubble to last are the true doom mongers. Overpriced property is socially divisive and bad for the economy. Many on HPC suggested that (in the absence of an early and sensible house price correction) the party would end with a massive credit crunch and rapidly falling house prices.

Meanwhile, 'housing expert' John Wriglesworth was telling us: “I do not believe we will have a price crash ... I think there is more chance of finding Elvis on the moon than house prices crashing over the next five years".

People who I respect cautioned me not to go any higher on the property we bought in 1999. Thankfully I ignored them.

If you go back far enough, you will always find a time when houses were sensibly priced. If people cautioned you not to buy at a 'sensible' time, then you respect the wrong people. As to whether 1999 prices are safe from the falling tide, I think it is too early to tell. The fat lady has not sung yet.

We need to point Anthea n' Graham at DFW. A few hugs'll sort them out.

Spot on. The point they miss is many people could MEW and get a load of high risk B2Ls but they cant see the point. These high ltv mulit B2Lers lord it about (or used to) as if they had the midas touch when the reality is they were just fairly clueless chancers.

There are many of chancers that have invested thinking it was a gravy train.

But you agreeing that "The people whose 'success' is really just borrowed cash are usually the ones who feel that they have something to prove" is spot on - is like saying that anyone that pays off their mortgage or uses equity in their property to buy another is one of those chancers.

Sorry but it's too much of a generalisation.

I'm in the habit of searching for some glimmer of humanity/humility in some of the mediocrities that we now call 'celebs', and I usually find it. even in krusty, when she came clean about LLL and its fantasy-like qualities.

but, try as I might, I can't find one redeeming feature in anthea.
I could almost smell people's dislike of her, yrs ago when she presented the nat.lottery. anyone who begged her to fail was duly rewarded with the flake-gate affair, a career disaster. the attempts by her PR to dismiss the stunt were laughable.

I'd like to think that the (now defunct) charity ball she threw each yr. was for purely philanthropic reasons, but something tells me that her motives were baser. the fact that she has fallen out with a no. of charities for failing to meet commitments (non-appearances, etc) certainly had me wondering.

I read a comment made by a former school-friend some yrs ago: 'she was the sort of girl who nobody at school liked'.

QED.

p.s. I had a good laugh at a cartoon in private eye, which featured 2 people in an art gallery looking at an (otherwise blank) canvas with the word 'me' scrawled over it. 'ah' said one. 'this must be the turner prize'.
