    No Job, No money, cannot afford to buy a house, I know lets have eight kids and let all the working people set us up in style. Does get me down. I truly believe that the state should not support (and thereby encourage) more than 2 children per family. Probably makes me evil.

    Now that's funny:rotfl::rotfl: You're as Thatcherite as they come. You give the poor a kick at every oppotunity on this board, you're totally out for yourself AND you support Grammar schools. Nobody who is a true leftie could ever support Grammar schools.

    I do support grammar schools, quite true.

    Nothing unleftie about that.

    They enable bright children of the poor to get as good an education as the stupid children of the rich.

    But I think that's material for a different thread, nay a different site, as it's not got a lot to do with the economy, house prices or recession.

    Is it wet under your bridge today, troll?

    This is so wrong. No one could convince me it is right. There are a lot of countries in between he could have sought refuge. Why here?? I wonder
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    I don't understand your point, do you think it's OK for people to be housed in this way? :confused:

    You keep banging on about tory press etc. Do you truly believe it is right that this man has been able to get himself a lifestyle way beyond what most can dream of, purely by breeding?
