[Swedish Paul]

There will be a lot of landlords crapping themselves now too.

Exactly I still have property I rent out in the UK that I wish I could have sold before going to NZ but we will see what unfolds.

Surely only if they have significant mortgages on their property? I can’t see demand for residential rental property diminishing....if anything it may increase as fewer people can afford to buy!

If house prices go down, I may even join suburbia again, I have been monitoring the market around Thirsk, someone dropped 30k off a 4 bed t other day, sold in a day, missed it, but I’m in no hurry to rejoin village life, I like being a pikey in the woods..

How long after 29/03/19 will it be that a BBC news bulletin doesn't have the word Brexit in it?

There will be a lot of landlords crapping themselves now too.

They've had a good run!
Whilst it's been a race to the bottom with the lower end wage bracket due to a lot of new arrivals willing to do the jobs for cheap money property prices and rent have gone through the roof(no pun intended). Perhaps this might be the time some sort of levelling takes place.

poppycock, the only landlords crapping themselves are the overstretched green ones, too many spongers who don't want to work and rely on handouts from the government, I admire "a lot of new arrivals" they want to work and work hard and do jobs that no one else here wants to do because it's beneath them, nothing in life is free!

Can only agree, after the 2 weeks I’ve had, having to convince people that they are at work, to, err, work, All I can say is I can see why new plants etc don’t get built in this country and why places shut down.

 

[rockits]

I think the intrest rates going up would be far more of an issue. Can’t afford to pay your mortgage any longer, but can’t sell up because of negative equity.

I'd agree and there is a distinct possibility this could happen. Did we learn nothing from the last time it happened? Errr no....we didn't!

If you're saying the average Brit is a lazy so-n-so, that's one thing...
BUT the case of the state paying out huge sums for those out of work is grossly overstated by political bigots trying to get you to see it their way...And dont forget it IS the incumbent govt's responsibility to manage the economy in such a way as to enable business to thrive and for people to earn a living in the first place...
You are aware that the UK was the subject of a damning report by the UN envoy for poverty, right ? Thats what this Tory crew have presided over,,Oh, and Brexit !

There's always been spongers but there's always been hard working low paid Brits as well, the dole office don't dish money out like confetti anymore.
Ignoring people's concerns regarding mass immigration in places like Wisbech in Cambs and Boston in Lincs is the reason we're leaving the EU in the first place.

it's a pipedream and if people think by leaving the eu suddenly their lives are going to improve both financially or another way then they're deluded, you got to look at the bigger picture, just my opinion

It might be the case but people's concerns were not addressed and we are were we are.

Having grown up in a s h i t t y little norther mill town (Accrington) and worked in Burnley and Nelson I have seen my fair share of unemployed and unemployable. So much so that I made my GF who comes from a family who had staff watch the Daniel Blake film and see just how the other half have to live.

I know there are many who bring this on their self but a far larger proportion fate takes a hand.

And as for the Government and pay... they still have roles that pay so low that their own staff have to claim benefits.

 

[Wanderer]

Those in power need to realise a happy, well fed, housed and healthy workforce is in their interests too. Forcing people into homelessness, into food banks, and screwing every last piece of dignity out of them isn’t, especially after Brexit when we are supposed to magically become this mighty industrial power reliant on no-one.

Or what they have had to contend with after the waste and overspending of previous Governments.....

 

[daverichardson]

These days we accept an unemployed figure of around a million people.
I can remember a time when that was abhorrent and it is not that long ago and governments lost elections because of it

Remember though that due to zero hour contracts and how unemployment figures are calculated, lots of people have three zero hour contract jobs, not inconceivably work zero hours on all of them, so in the figures that's three jobs created, three off the unemployed list, yet no actual work done.

It's all spin and fake news now....

 

[daverichardson]

Yes and we also have dreamed up new stats (well new to me) such as numbers of people in work because it is a better headline. My point was though we seem to accept 1million as the norm nowadays when really it is a damning statistic altogether

 

[safrane]

Totally agree... why we concentrate so much of the country's resources on the SE whilst neglecting the resources available in the rest of the UK is madness.

Is it though...?
I think we are deluding ourselves if we believe we can continue to breed as we do, and then expect to rely on unsustainable economic growth to provide both work and riches to power more growth...
Id be happy to work less. An economy that can manage to be consistently in positive growth of very modest numbers doesnt need boom & bust economic cycling. Arguably it only needs to maintain schools and health and so a cultural life whilst paying interest on the debt..
I dont need, or want, half of the **** out there that they tell me I must have blah blah blah..
Its a crazy merry go round...and the lunatics are running the place !! (actually, its questionable whether anyone is atm IMO )
