    Thanks - you've just shown yourself up for the bigot that you are, and have done a far better job of destroying your own credibility on this board that any of us right-thinking people ever could.

    Who are the right-thinking people?
    Are they the ones who voted in Labour ten years ago! The right thinking people are now living in a police state in which we cannot put a point across without being called a bigot or racist. Anyway, this board is not exactly credible, people only come on here to rant.

    I personally blame the shape shifting reptilians for the recession...

    END OF RANT!

    I just hope people will listen to this from beginning to end without allowing their brain-washed preconceptions to get in the way. I cannot fault a single thing Pat Condell said.

    I have no religion, but I'll support anyone's right to have one ... just so long as it respects others' rights to life and liberty.

    The headline says 40% more falls - implying a 60% fall from peak. The article actually says it is possible that prices might fall 40% from peak in total.

    "House prices might fall 40% from peak - we don't really know but it's a possibility" sounds a lot less sensational don't you think?

    I think it may have been this article from the Times recently

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5621482.ece

    "Good, someone to pay for my pension when I retire.
    David, Leeds, England"
    This comment about the article made me chuckle :rotfl:.
