The fact that she's an estate agent and drives a Beemer acts even more like a red rag.
The only question to be answered is whether she qualifies. If yes, that's all there is to it, no matter what car she drives and how long she was married to whom.
Enjoy the witch hunt. Appalling.
Great and all that, but they are NOT having a go at her.
They are having a pop at Cameron, with even an MP now suggesting he was using a scam to sell a scam.0 -
So this raises the question that this scheme is furthering the 'have it now' mentality when people who could do it on their own but choose not to. Not that I blame them, as if it's offered on a plate then you would be silly not to take advantage - it just should not be available to those who don't need it.
Yup, and who are the ones going round lambasting the young "want it now" brigade? The very people who will do anything to back up this scheme.0 -

now you posted a quote from the Independant
Writing anonymously via a blog in a post that quickly became viral, one critic went as far as to post pictures of Ray's car, claiming that she had hidden the fact she was an estate agent, lied about being single, and that she didn't even own the house she showed Cameron around.
which could, just a little, be scene as having a 'go at her' but no in reality it was aimed at Dave.
and just for interest, which political party does the MP you reference belong to?0 -

Pull the other one. A single mother getting taxpayer help whilst driving a BMW and she's an estate agent too. Manna from heaven to the British press.
Help to Buy is just the vehicle they are using to have a pop.0
