"This year" is an exact prediction?!? I should point out that you are the one who claims it is "crashy time"... LOL
You predicted there would be a house price crash in 2014, you were wrong, this didn't happen.
You predicted there would be a house price crash in 2015, you were wrong again, this didn't happen.
You predicted there would be a house price crash in 2016, obviously your refusal to answer my questions can only mean even you now realise that that isn't going to happen and you have been wrong again.
Let's play your game though; is this massively important sentiment going to result in a 50%+ House Price Crash this year or next Crashy? Or is a two year period still too exact for you?
We will just gloss over the fact that you actually probably need an 80% price crash to get prices back to when you decided to get out of the property market...Every generation blames the one before...

UK heading for hard Brexit, say European diplomats

Brexit divorce lawyers eye up EU’s wine listBritain is planning to claim a share of the EU’s 42,000-bottle cellar of wine, cognac and other spirits, its art collection and its €8.7bn property portfolio as the government gears up to haggle over Brexit with Brussels.
As in any divorce, untangling EU-UK financial affairs is expected to be one of the most difficult part of the negotiations. Any exit deal must settle complex liabilities including the UK share of guarantees on €60bn of Eurocrat pensions and almost €20bn of European Investment Bank loans.Most tantalising for Brexiters may be the potential to reclaim 32 Smith Square, the former home of Conservative Central Office and backdrop to three Thatcher election victories. Bought for £26m and renovated in 2010, the Westminster property was rebranded “Europe House” and serves as a base for the commission and European Parliament in Britain.
Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader who as an MEP still has use of an office in the building, said Britain should take back the landmark. “I think they should make it a monument to Mrs Thatcher and to Brexit, Mr Farage said. “They should turn it into a museum.”

Please can you provide illustrations of other areas of the "general" uk economy that have been boosted and benefited so massively and obviously as house prices have as a result of those particular three "general" economic measures.
I eagerly await your reply....0 -

I just read an interesting article about that. You might enjoy it.Europeans don’t have true citizenship. They have a second-class status dating back to Ancient Rome

You are sounding a bit shrill and over-wrought TBH, how much HPI do you need to break even again? :rotfl:0 -

Not really, it is slowly and surely unravelling. Sure the true devotees of the plan will see it as you do but the public are very fickle about these things. If, say you were a Brexit voter in Sunderland today having heard that one of the major employers in the area will not be investing in the plant and will not be prepared to build their next models in Sunderland if we leave the single market, you will probably be less certain of your position.
I have reluctantly come round to the idea that the die has been cast we need to get the best deal for Britain, but that will be as a member of the EEA.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.0
