    But the stranglehold on cashflow is mainly being maintained by the banks, and no political party has the freedom and/or the will to speak out.


    Nope, Banks want to lend - they send costly reps to visit me to see if I (a broker) have any new business I can put thier way.
    The issue is over zealous regulation preventing lending, and that also requires Banks build thier cash reserves or the FSA consider them as having too high exposure.

    Until the Gov't and media wake up to FSA strangulation, we are walking blind. PS I'm earning more now that it's harder to raise finance so this is not a VI call.

    Do you campaign on behalf of your lodgers?

    Actually, YES!

    My recent-years-experience has opened my eyes wide...

    [quote=[Deleted User];40745034]how do you unravel the existing system with all its existing loans and commitments?[/QUOTE]

    That's easy - you simply give the banks all the money they need, and then shut down all local and national support systems in order to redress the balance... what?
