    Anyone who imagines they want a house price crash is seriously misled. House price crashes make houses less affordable.

    Great logic there.

    Surely we should support the price of everything going up then – food, electricity, clothes, petrol. Because if the price of something increases it becomes ‘more affordable’.

    Keep taking the coulis!:D

    There are a hell of a lot of people who want prices to crash but that's because there are a hell of a lot of people who want to buy.

    The desire to wanting prices to crash is positively correlated with higher demand and therefore higher prices.

    The moan swingometer is actually a handy tool to predict more future price rises.
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.
