    This is simply rude.

    You're opinion of yourself is certainly healthy. Got something to hide?

    You clearly have outdated views about intelligence.

    Nice ad hominem.

    Graham is perfectly capable of defending himself, and Hamish is called worse than I called Graham (and I have considerable evidence to back my opinion about Graham up including literally megabytes of muddle where he misses even quite simple points and descends off into circular nonsense). I don't see you leaping to Hamish's defence.

    So I'd probably list you as a hypocrite.

    Stop trolling Julie.

    It is obvious that this SMI is a joke.

    Well according to Julie, I'm also sexist. Yes yes yes. Because I disagreed with her views.

    And a parasite. I'm one of them too.

    SMI costs a lot less than I expected actually, I think I'll re-file it under the "something that has no impact on my life" category.

    I honestly can't believe it only costs £110M to be honest.

    "a free ride when you've already paid" is arguably a more appropriate quote in a thread on SMI ;)

    Costs 3x what the government expected it to cost over 8 years.

    A single year costs 3x the amount the government expected for all 8 years, that is.

    I believe SMI is limited to a maximum mortgage of £200k so that is £605 a month, less than LHA for a 2 bed house in most of the southeast.
