That's better than you going on about bananas I guess.

But, seriously JJ, as soon as you say 'ya', I know we're in for a profoundly silly 'point'.

Yep completely went over your head ( bearing in mind we’re talking about a small island (ruled by a country with youth unemployment at an all time high) highly dependent upon tourist trade and the EU fund the development of shopping centres so far away from everything, that retailers are now shunning them. Yep makes great business sense doesn’t it. Great business sense, just as long as it’s not your own personal money funding it.

Hmmmm?, there is far more 'social housing' now than there was in Maggies day, far more. OK, it's not owned by the council, still paid for by the council though isn't it?
Why blame the Tories, the last Tory government built more council houses than the previous labour government, did you know that?
As for affordable housing, have houses ever been affordable?, when I first bought forty years ago it couldn't be done on a single wage and interest rates were nudging double figures.

How much of that is down to the EU?

Your making what I said up again, you're really going to have to stop that.

Well, none. In fact, if you think about it (I know that might be hard) Mark Carney has just announced that when we leave the EU house prices will fall by 35%, isn't that a cause for celebration for you and chippie?, after all your recent posts on affordable housing?

I do assume you to be a Leaver but not necessarily a xenophobe; that isn't an essential requirement, but clearly fits most both on here and in 'real' life.

And how you then correlate that with me assuming that there isn't a demand for housing is just silly.

And you weren't really trying to suggest anything practical about helping provide shelter for immigrants, just making a cheap point.

I now more than assume you are a Leaver.

Cheap point?!

What about the curmudgeonly ol' xenophobics? Yes, those complete ********* who not only lived and fought or were born in the aftermath of WW2, but then helped rebuild the country. Yep, complete wasters DA, the lot of them. How poetic?! Anyway, continue, you have free speech, you can make your point, its obviously such a shame that a democratic vote was wasted on these selfish idiots.

My Dad fought in WW2, voted Labour his whole life and loved Europe, he spent half of his retirement travelling through it and getting free medical treatment when needed.

Lived and fought...blah blah blah.

These guys simply did what they had to do.

Helped rebuild the country?

These guys simply did what they had to do. As many have done since then and do today. And thank goodness for them and those now.


And the true irony is that your misappropriated point about what these guys actually did - fight fascism and Naziism and despots and right-wing ideologues - is precisely - PRECISELY - what you are supporting and encouraging now.

Beyond misguided.

Nope - I want to sell my house.

But, anyhoo, it's good to see you listening to some experts and not try the silly 'project fear' chestnut.

Anyhoo, how are you feeling after your last rant? I have a note of it should you wish a reminder...
 
I was talking about your opinion on DA's and my views on affordable housing which seems to be your fantasy.
