Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Who do you trust more? The Government or your email provider?

    Anyone who is involved with the email process already reads them.

    Which ones could be then?

    It begins with your freedom of political affiliation and works its way down from there.

    Trade Unionist? Anti-EU campaigner? Opponent of mass immigration? Welsh Nationalist? Fuel tax campaigner?

    Just because you believe that nice Mr Cameron or that charming Mr Blair wouldn't misuse information (which I would, in an case, dispute) doesn't insulate you from the activities of future lunatics.

    Reading emails will not identify any of the above beyond what is already public knowledge.

    Being a secret fuel tax campaigner would be a bit pointless
