    So you're the man who can definitively spot a lie..... I shall of course be running lots of things past you now to establish the absolute truth. :rolleyes:



    Or perhaps you have a preferred "slant" and bias towards posts on said "slant" .

    :T

    Oh man, it's when I read posts like this which have derailed the post into a personal slanging match from something not even remotely personal that make me think "damn, I wish I could be that mature".

    If the IMF dont make the decisioin for us, then the global bond market will. You CANNOT have a free lunch on behalf of your central bank forever; it comes sour in the end. If bond investors think their investments are being devalued, they will dump stirling and it will tank. Hard.

    So, either government has to face its demons and cut public sector spending across the board, including benefits as well as departments and non-jobs, or we go bankrupt as a nation.

    Simples.

    As I found, there is no point having you on ignore, as everytime someone quotes you to laugh at you, your diarrhoea pops up on my screen so can see most of your posts :)


    Ah yes..... still a way to go then.

    I bet the UK won't default or see a haircut on gilts.

    This QE program has stabilised the economy in the same way that an intravenous drip, blood transfusions and massive doses of antibiotics might stabilise a patient at death's door. The fact is that this life support cannot be delivered for ever and at some point we are going to have to be weaned off this supply of new money. And what if all the pump-priming fails and the patient is still effectively flat-lining?

    Ooooh, I'm feeling jolly today.

    Nail on the head. I'm very surprised that the bond and gilt markets haven't started wobbling yet. It will happen though, and when it does we are in serious trouble.

    As is usual, the International Money Markets with their multi-Billions of £ are wrong, and the MSE Forum with it's combined £ 8.23p of liquid capital will be proven correct !!!! ;)

    I'm honoured.

    Extremely mature of you I must say :)

    That was hardly discussion by the way, that was lies and spin to make a poster look like he was telling lies. Something I found a bit wrong, and a little, well, sad. :)

    There was no lies and spin to make a poster look like he was telling lies.

    There was prrof that the poster said one thing and then something different in another.

    You yourself even agreed there was 3 houses initially, when the person then further inferred there was 4

    The poster claimed to have been a BTL LL for 22 year and sold at the peak of 2007, yet didn't understand taxes that were applicable.

    the poster also inferred he heard from aquantences and friends about the issues being a LL, but then refers he still is and has been a LL of 22 years. Why did he not know personally?

    Consistency in posts is the key and it wasn't there by that poster.

    But lets not go back there, this is a different topic
