   In 2008 we were told new regulations were brought in so that my poor mans money would never again be used to pay the rich elites salaries, pensions and bail out their ponzi mortgage schemes. How has this happened and I want a full explanation today as to why interest rates were allowed to drop so low and the regulations to be ignored by 2009. Now and I mean today, not tomorrow I want a full explanation and those at fault sent to prison. If someone says they could not foresee this then lock them up. I left school with zero qualifications – lost 30% on my house sale in 1997 – and I knew this would come around again.

   We were told in 2008 tight regulations, controls on inflation/interest rates and strict liquidation tests would be introduced so they would never go bust again. It lasted 1 year before they forgot all that and doubled the mortgage debt mountain and gave out free cash (quantitative easing) to the rich. It is a disgrace and a bank has gone bust again. They are using our cash to buy bonds and banks again so that the rich are bailed out again. This time they will go to prison like they did in Iceland. They are posh fraudulent criminals. They steal billions and get their government pals to fraudulently leave all sales of the HPI that they do not like – only 30% are included in the initial government monthly HPI and new houses 3 times. Fact check it. Prison please.

   The ONS HPI is a part of the Ponzi scheme con. They only include 30% of sales and then hardly ever change it. Any house that would through out their figures (like 70% of them) they leave out. Ask an FOI question and you will see the fraud that goes on that influences the biggest financial decision people make in their life. Rich Tory Bankers Ponzi con mens scheme. They made up a scheme to make them all rich and keep the poor poor.

   Prices up about 50% in 6 years since i bought my home in my area. And rates gone from like 2.5% to 6%. People probably having to pay double for the same house compared to six years ago. Wages maybe increased 25% at best during that time. 10k-15k deposit would a got someone on the ladder here before. Id feel in a risky position buying with anything short of 30k now. like how long does that take people to save lol?

    The UK housing market is an absolute piss take. The only way someone in the south east of England will own a house is by winning the lottery or inheriting a property from a deceased family member.

    It’s beneficial for those wishing to buy a house but another problem they have is competing with investors.

    We could cut out the middle man and just let WEF economics maintain its own hierarchy…
