The 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.” -

If less than parity then a lot of people will try to buy houses in London. With prices already down substantially can you believe how cheap it will be to get a flat in a big town for less than 500k dollars or euros? In many other european cities you don't get anything for that money. This should push prices up again and currency as well.Originally posted by SantaClaus View PostThe BOE are happy for rates to go to zero.
