I've noticed there's now only one or two bears left on the forum. Just how much longer will they deny reality and fail to accept they've c*cked up big time?

I'd say back off the booze/drugs.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0

I'm amazed the Express is continually allowed to get away with this nonsense. I understand they aren't covered by the PCC, but surely this blatant - and desperate - vested interest propaganda can't go unchallenged?0

Also, they are all over the place. Sometimes its £3k per month, then it's £80 per day, now it's £100 per week.
Have they ever published a headline, such as "House prices falling £63 per day" ? I highly doubt it.
I am suprised they haven't had a front page photo of Paul McKenna* with the headline "look into my eyes, house prices only go up, buy now, buy now, you must buy now".
*If he's too expensive for them, maybe Hamish will do it for a few quid.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -

You do notice in the media - and particularly the Express - ANY increase in HP's is usually described as 'soaring' and always 'Great News'. Strangely, falling HP's never receive the same weight in reporting.
This is just another Express front page for that rather beautiful and telling collage that gets distributed about the web. I'll post it if nobody else does once it's been updated.
We all know, EA's know, The Express knows, Richard Desmond knows, that prices are only going one way; and no amount of these nonsense stories can prevent that. If anything, at least these headlines are a good indicator of continued and increasing - or should I say 'soaring' - desperation from vested interests.0 -
So am I supposed to be 'happy' with this news?
I could go and work 16 hours a week at minimum wage to earn £100 a week.0 -
