Do you think, given the state of Britains house builders balance sheets (heavily leveraged and holding assets falling off a cliff) that some will go bust in a year or two's time?

If so, would Darling bail them out or let them die?

He will bail out those that are in Labour constituencies and let the rest die.

Wouldn't be surprised to see at least some mergers or collapses. I doubt that Darling would do a bail out, it's not like it's a bank.

I can't read that site at work, the laughing out loud is frowned upon. It's a problem I rarely experience with this site. Keep up the good work.

I read that article, seems like a well thought out and rational policy to me.

Certainly worthy of any of the 3 main political parties.

He added: "Then it's off to B&Q where the Madrid three-piece bathroom suite is just £279, including a mixer tap."

I've just bought the Barcelona suite for one of my bathrooms.
