I can see it now, Zany and Rackham handing over their goods and chattels, seeking the net zero life without all those worldly goods weighing them down.

Well, he won't mind handing over his goods and chattels then, will he? all for the greater good and you being a true-blue conservative will believe in the greater good as well. |

The reason they are more volatile is that the Tories exaggerate boom bust in order to milk the poor. Look at the current crises. The Tory solution is to shove up interest rates (as usual) and take money from young people with loans and give it to rich people who lend. That's the Tory way. 'The Tory way' - 'Milk the poor'! Are you serious? Currently this nasty far right Conservative government pay 22.6 million people £131 billion a year [Excluding pensions] in a plethora of out of work and other benefits. That's £11 billion a month on benefits. As for interest rates; we havent had high interest rates for 30 years. Historically 5.25% is not high. They can't milk those with nothing, they keep them alive for later. They milk those trying hard to gain ground. Let them borrow money at a low rate then when they are caught push up rates and reap the rewards for your rich mates. We thought we'd managed to stop it by making it the job of the BofE but it seems even they can be owned. |

This is becoming a tad uncomfortable, there's far too much talk of milking, sounds positively unhygienic. However, I reiterate; 22.6 million people claiming £11 billion a month in out of work benefits is absolutely ridiculous. |

Rate and amount borrowed. Push house prices up to 400k and 5.5% gives you around £2,500 a month. Your mortgage back in the day? 40k? £245 a month. |

The reason people are struggling with mortgage payments is not because interest rates are high, they are not. It's because the cost of living including rent has increased so much in recent years, and the reason rent has increased so much is because there are too many people in the country. You cant pour a quart into a pint pot. |
