House prices fall at fastest pace in nearly 14 years

Too right Borky . Im glad Im out of it but really feel for anyone who has recently taken out a mortgage on a house . We were in negative equity back in the early 90's and basically gave one house away and downsized. Still its only money or what we thought were savings at the time from the house before that . Its a bloody minefield to know whether to twist or jump .

The reward is there at the end of it all though . There will always be the layabout army ,feck em , not worth thinking about

Highly offensive to imply that the unemployed and those in 'council houses' are a layabout army.  I've no doubt a small % are but our numbers of unemployed are testament to failures by governments of all ilks who think as long as most people are doing OK or better at the moment then there's nothing wrong in having millions unemployed.  Well there very much is.  It's immoral and it's dangerous with its societal destabilising.

There is NOT a layabout army. It is a disgraceful mindset that there is NO data to back up.

And mortgages rates are soaring.

Alright for the nation's layabout army, living in council houses and off benefits, not so good for the decent folk who will have to work ever harder to support them

Borchester you have yet again demonstrated you know zero about the benefits system, and as for council houses what council houses? Layabout  army ? What layabout army? That is only in your mind. If you knew anything about the data involving unemployment and the hostile environment from government, the DWP, and government contractors towards benefit claimants, and the Claimant Commitment you would soon see what a fool you are making of yourself.
