but on occasion there is a very informative or insightful guest interview which is worth taking some notes on.

You shouldn't trust anyone going on television and informing everyone of their secret insight into the stock market & trying to get you to buy. They are just hoping that people will rush in and push the stock they bought cheap up, so they can immediately sell it and leave you with something that will drop in price.

It's a bit like you shouldn't trust someone saying the price of property will crash (or even rise). You should make the decisions based on your own circumstances.

Last year 600 people died in England and Wales sleeping rough on the streets due to our housing crisis.
I hope the OP feels a warm glow inside for his lack of concern for others less fortunate than himself who can’t afford to buy a home now given the level to which prices have risen so have to rent in the private sector (or worse) – whether they be young, poor, have fallen on hard times, got ill, have substance abuse or mental health problems.

But still carry on with the pointless baiting threads which add little value beyond demonstrating selfishness and greed – and the fact that you are middle aged and own a home (which is no big deal for that generation but is now beyond many young people).

Give over, it's not due to any housing crisis.

There are many places for "rough sleepers" but they prefer to be on the streets (after a free meal at the hostels).


I know this, you're just pushing your stupid agenda.

I am in the process of buying my first home. My husband and I have spent the last seven years trying to save towards a home. It has not been easy as I have had problems finding work. But now that we have both been in steady work for the last two years, we are in the position to buy. It scares me to think about the possibility of a house price crash. But I have to move out soon as the moldy flat that I am living in is making me ill.

I do think that a house price crash could happen, but I think it will be in five years time...not that I am an expert!

I am a bit sad as house prices have gone up in Cornwall so much over the last year. I wish that I bought a year ago.

And what has any of that got to do with me?
And please tell me when there was ever a golden era?

I suggest you only return in history to the 1960/70's even the 1980's and look at places like Holland Park, the Isle of Dogs and so many other rat infested slums all over GB from Glasgow down to Southampton

Well done you, it never was easy to start and never will, but it will get easier now you are on the 1st step

1782 people died on UK roads last year. Is that due to some sort of motoring crisis?

Should we all stop driving to avert this crisis?

No they didn’t.
There were hostels, church’s, charities they could have gone to.
They were on the street because of issues like addiction, ptsd, depression, mental health.
That is sad and not good enough, but it wasn’t because there wasn’t a place for them.

Some refuse hostels because they are full of noisy, violent, mental ill people.

It’s an issue, but the major factors are addiction and mental health.

No healthy, mentally well person is unable to get help.

Elephant and Castle was were all the meths drinkers used to congregate.

To this day the UK has a serious drinking culture that's a certainty.
