in Debate House Prices & the Economy
More and more great Data from the financial world.

Indeed, even violent crime is down ..... we are a more peaceful society.

We are much more wealthy than we were just 3 years ago, hope is back, wage increases are booming.

Inflation is falling and it's easy to get a job.

House prices are storming ahead - my property portfolio is now building wealth twice as fast as I can earn ....

All we need is for savings to start returning around 5% and Utopia has been reached .......

Are you all feeling the luv? :beer:

REJOICE!!!!!

    That's odd ..... if I see something that makes me throw up I avoid seeing that thing again.

    But then, I'm seriously intelligent.

    crime is down

    Because police don't record all crimes. There are lies, great lies and statistics.

    I think "Coming up Roses" is exactly what it's not doing... the Tories (sorry, coalition) appear to have timed things nicely for the election...

    I think you will find most police don't believe the crime figures either and the vast majority of officers are against the rigging. Senior officers have closed 1/2 - 2/3s of the police front offices, which stops a huge amount of crime being reported. Certain types of crime such as petrol theft from garages are no longer recorded. Shops are discouraged from reporting shoplifting under a certain value. Pro active policing has been cut back so with less police officers looking for crime less is reported. Because if police go out and find criminals they find things and it increases reported crimes so that looks bad for the senior management. Also new crime mapping is stopping police going to areas where they know crime is happening. There are a host of other things rigging the figures and it stinks.

    They didn't mean me, they meant that troll Angusarse.

    You do know that you don't actually have to read what you don't want to read - don't you? :huh:

    To read the thread is bad enough .... to actually take time to reply is an outrage :rotfl:

    You couldn't make it up ...........
