Debate House Prices

 They are not, we have multiple interest rate threads aloneThey are. So one for Yes and one for No will do. My wellies can't cope, I will need waders at this rate!
 Let alone Halifax, Nationwide, Land Registry etc posts on house prices
 These are examples of same topics, different sources threads.:wall:
 What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
 Some men you just can't reach.

 Should there just be one thread for: -
 House Prices
 Interest Rates
 Government Support Schemes
 etc
 I get the impression that the incessance with which the topic of independence is brought up is making people feel that there should be at most one, and ideally fewer than one thread about it.If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.0

 One wonders why so many people are opposed to discussing an important decision which will be made in three months time.
 I personally don;t agree with being ignorant or stick my head in the sand philosophy.
 I politely ask those not wishing to be involved in the discussion points to not respond to the threads and they will take there natural place on the pecking board of this forum.
 If there is apathy to discuss the points, then the thread will fall off the front page.
 14 posts and not one has contributed to the points raised "taxation, migration, energy policy and exports.":wall:

 It is entirely possible that there is nothing new to discus. Sometimes you just have to accept that the bus is not going where you want it to and you should stop holding up the other passengers.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »I personally don;t agree with being ignorant or stick my head in the sand philosophy.

 You arent really debating anything though are you? You are mostly posting views based on data that most of the rest of us disagree with because it's either not robust, contradicted by more reliable sources, or whimsical.
 Then when we highlight your shonky data you tell us we are wrong and create a new thread based on something else.
 Its starting to seem a but futile.
 But then I guess you can say the same things about my boomers threads and I have no intention of stopping those so knock yourself out.0

 Well it's obvious to most here that you've adopted the 'ostrich position' by spamming this board with numerous threads.0

 Whilst I understand the possition you are portraying, this could be replicated over a number of other topics which suffesr from a "groundhog day" syndrome.
 How many threads have been started about interest rate rises for example.
 Far more and far repeated than my 3 or 4 posts on Independence:wall:

 Could the same be said about Interest Rate Rises or House Price Affordability or HPI.
 This is a debate board guys, please feel free to debate (or not):wall:

 Other instances of incessance on this board are called out in due course. It's textbook deflection on your part to try to turn attention to them in order to try to distract from or justify your own wrong doing.If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.0
