I predict a riotThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

A few years ago, and I think you'd be 100% right. But the market's quite bizarre these days, with property being scarce, and the Public conciousness now being utterly focussed on home ownership.
