Anyway, pretty useless thread, going round and round in circles with the same people endlessly replying with variations of the same post. Perhaps they think if they say the same thing over and over again they might start to actually believe it.
Why not make it useful? Can you tell us who will be buying your house in 25 years to pay for care costs or whatever if young people can`t buy a house now?0 -
Thrugelmir, just look at any of my postings. You will see I live in Luxembourg.
Just under the "join date"
I see that most people on this thread do not put their location in their profile so you can not see their "potential" regional bias.
You have also missed this out on your profile. Why?
Didn't mean to to touch a nerve. Just intrigues me when people express such distinct political opinions when they don't even live in the country. Therefore are remote from what ordinary people feel and experience.0 -
"if young people can`t buy a house now?" :rotfl:0

That's far too sensible Conrad, you know that as the majority of MPs and the Government are Remainers that there has to be analysis paralysis and a general lying down and giving it all up. On principle.0

I dont have the time to draw that for you im sure you can find the data and do it yourself. Keep to just uk cities/towns/regions
Both more people and more density is urbanization a factor quite recognized and accepted as a powerful means of development.
.
so you are now claiming that 'higher population = higher GDP per capita' ONLY applies to the UK cities?
so you believe the UK has different laws of ecomoics to the rest of the world.
cerrtainly explains a lot about the economic illiteracy of your posts.0 -
Better would be the Japanese idea of issuing foreign nationals with permts to work, so that labour is available when needed, and taxes are received, but there is not the same long term commitment that everyone who arrives could become permanently resident.
:rotfl:
Uh huh....
That would be the same Japan that's got the highest level of national debt in the world at 200%+ of GDP because they've run out of young workers to tax while dealing with a massive ageing population and restricting immigration.
The Japan that just this week approved direct monetisation of government debt with central bank holdings from printed money predicted to be another 100% of GDP within a year.
Anyone that thinks Japan is the model for the UK is utterly delusional.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Good grief there's some delusion in this thread.
I'm out - enjoy the ride.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
