Uncertainty has been extended yet again
Even after this deal the uncertainty will continue
There is only one thing certain and that is more uncertaintyNothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0 -

Are you kidding me??
Even I have now conceded that Brexit is now a done deal, there is a reason you no longer hear those Remainer voices in the media because they have all conceded as well. EU can try and split as much as they like now, but a good working government majority will stick two fingers up at them0 -

Yes, but that just puts us on an even steadier and faster collision course with them, a great outcome for the UK is going to see a rush for the exits and the end of the EU as other populations tire of being under their thumb, the egos involved are going to try and sabotage us all the way, and I can`t see BJ managing to keep pumping your precious bubble through all that TBH.0 -

Suspect the disagreements within are going to keep the EU side very busy.0 -

Just admit it crashy, you are just praying(not calculating) for some form of train crash in society so you can get back on the ride after your failed property crash prediction. I have noticed with you HPC.com chaps a lot, telling everyone about various crash scenarios from bird flu to Gordon Brown becoming PM to the 2007 financial crisis, we must be on the eve to our 1000th apocalypse now?0 -
Meanwhile the fundamental indisputable facts are
House prices up nominally in the vast majority of the country
https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/bulletins/housepriceindex/october2019
Mortgages stay the same nominally, CPI positive therefore mortgages down in real terms whilst wages rise and unemployment very low.
Better to just get on with it folks rather than pray.
I was debt free by age 44 simply by repaying over 22 years on a medium income.
Being debt free is great and essential for a comfortable retirement (which is expensive enough these days).
(I did actually have a mortgage for longer but I was stooping it for a profit which at one point was £8k annually heNce I said debt free not mortgage fee)0 -

You voted Remain, and now you are saying that Brexit will be good for you? Why not just vote Leave in the first place?0 -

You might find this surprising but some of us do not vote in our own interests and care about other people and other things like the planet.
I will do better under the Tories because of where I am on the income distribution scale, however I would prefer a fairer society even if that disadvantages myself.
Your question implies you can not see any further than your own self interest?
Empathy means understanding that not everyone thinks and feels as you do.0
