    One of three things have to happen to deal with the imbalance.

    1. People's salaries to go up by at least 70/80% and more in London.
    2. A market crash by at least 30% and more in London.
    3. The government to choke up half a million houses.

    Since 1 and 3 aren't happening anytime soon. So what does that leave us with?

    There will be a crash.

    As Neil Kinnock once said "You cannot play politics with people's lives".

    .


    did Kinnock apply his dictum to the people of Greece / Spain etc with their huge youth unemployment, due entirely for political reasons?

    or did he merely mean the Kinnock dynasty?

    Kinnock was then Labour leader and was addressing the Liverpool Labour Councillors' at the Labour Annual Conference. The Councillors, for some obscure political motive, had just issued redundancy notices to their own, entire council workforce. Hence the term often applied to them of "the Loony Left".

    Is there anyone in this world that you do not feel the need to to be nasty about?
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Yes, 30% isn`t nearly enough to get back to affordability, it will be nearer 60% in some areas.

    Just remember Crashy has been predicting a crash for the last 20 years.


    No, I realised there was something very wrong when first reading the housepricecrash.co.uk site around 2007/8, not 20 years ago. I did however predict the win for Leave, and many of the predictions made on that website are also starting to become reality.

    I'd like to think I've got a reasonable grasp of how markets function but I'm always willing to learn, could you expand on this to give us further insight into just how they do work?
