    My Hitler comparison is simply:
    What Hitler did was wrong. The guy was a nutcase. But at least he *believed* what he was doing was right. BTLers are NOT mad. (OK, I accept anyone buying executive flats in Leeds off-plan is a loony.) BTLers do what they do in the full knowledge that BTL damages society and the economy, but they don't care because it personally enriches them.

    your saying that buy to letters are worse than Hitler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the thing is squatnow...i do agree with a lot of what you have to say...but you spoil it with your statements along the lines of .........buy to letters are more more evil than Hitler

    theres just no need for it

    grow up and read some history books (or at least watch some films)

    i hope that when you do you will have enough humanity to realise how ignorant your comparisons can be

    Why don't you post a link, so we can understand what you are talking about.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.

    Of course, it won't apply to the properties of the people watching the programme... ooooh no. No, it'll be other areas, other people, other properties.

    I hope these programmes are professionally researched and well presented and not just numpty fill-in fodder. A badly written and presented programme can make people think "it's not them, it's other people" and feel all cosy and smug again.

    Thanks PN. I haven't much brain energy tonight so......:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
    :mad: :mad: :mad: I get so wound up with all the opinions on "what is going to happen to THEM / THEY will lose everything etc etc etc"

    They can become us....just like that.


    Squat....mate.......I'm tired tonight....... but think a bit FIRST.........
    Hitler analogies are not a good thing...no matter how relevant you think they are.......a battery chicken one would have been more appropriate (and on- trend;) analogies that are on-trend are more easily accepted + absorbed)

    BTLers could be seem to be akin to battery chicken farmers........I cannot be bovvered to expand.
