    That much is undeniable.

    I used to post 3 years ago on here about how house prices would fall and banks would be in big trouble and I was the world's biggest bottom (to coin a phrase).

    I doubt that this spell of bad economics will mean the end of US democracy. As you say, we will see.

    It's also funny (hilarious) that those who post (cut n paste) these 'alternative' facts, will never allow or even enter into a rational or reasonable debate.

    It's always good to keep an open mind.

    It's funny how some people constantly reject what is published by the BBC or newspapers, instead relying on independent internet blogs. "Truthdig". Even the name suggests that the truth is hidden, while often it isn't.

    Each to their own.

    I'm more likely to think it's a conspiracy theory if it has come from the BBC.

    The thought of troops being sent in to control the people is more of a nightmare to me than anything I could dream up myself. Scary thought, since the troops are also 'the people' in some respects. Also scary in that the government is voted in 'democratically', so how would they have the right to set the army on us? Couldn't we, actually, set the army on them?


    I think you had better read about the 70s when our army was ready too turn on our own people and go for a coup headed by mountbatten....:confused:
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Do you have a good source for this?

    Do you think this is why the IRS blew up Lord Mountbatten?

    May I ask what your politics are?
