 Everything seems to be on a very VERY basic level today with the bullish collective. Inflation up 5.2% - Woop, my mortgage now costs me 5.2% less. Pensions up 5.2% - woop, pensioners haven't lost a penny. 2 people running priced out = woop, only 2 members.
 Whatever makes you feel better I guess.
 Do you really believe that pensioners live only on their pensions? Of course pensioners have lost out many live on meagre return on savings that are supporting the low mortgages of a few!0

 . I hope Cc goes to hell in a hand basket, banning bulls for being bulls
 As an ex HPC bannee I concur. I liken the bearish approach to that of religious fora. Your welecomed only if you agree with the central premise - odd how no such barrs appear on atheist sites.
 Bears are a cult me thinks.0

            Basically HPC, CC, and PO are getting it hard up them every single day now. I'll certainly welcome them shutting up shop, none more so than HPC for propagating their vile agenda of wishing hard working families onto the streets. They need put to the sword.0

            I love the idea that people who are "Priced Out" should donate to some tinpot campaign. That'll help them buy a house.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

 What about the hard working people with no kids, you take the pi55 out of them for living with their parents but think its wrong that they should end up on the streets.

 Am I sad to have re-done the maths? (I thought it looked wrong) This should be 0.003%...IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Found it
 2000 / 65000000 = roughly 0.03% of the populationI've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.0

 0.003% of the population care enough about lower house prices to tap a few keys on the internet and join Priced Out.
 No wonder their total fundraising for the year to date was just £30.
 OK, that's kind of sad.
 I almost feel sorry for them.:(“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
 Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

 I have made up my mind as you are talking about 2 completely separate groups. I don't want to see hard working families on the streets out of their rightful homes. I know you do just so you can pick up a dream house on the cheap. Thankfully the government and banks have their eyes on your sort so will never allow it to happen. I'm not bothered about single people or man-babies like yourself as it's easy for you to pack your suitcase and move to another bedsit as necessary. Try thinking outwith the confines of your own bedroom for once.0
