    No mention that plenty of people ride the property escalator and then use some of the equity to realise all manner of enterprise both home and abroad.

    True, but I'm not sure that this compensates for most people not having enough disposable income to let the general economy thrive.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    Not just house price, train fare to London is robbery as well.

    Now the wealthy Arabs and Russians will realize that they can buy multi-million pound properties in London but nobody will remain there to wash their backsides in the toilet :)

    Haven't you heard? Nobody lives in London now, because it is too crowded, due to too many people living there!
