I've no sympathy for fools who lived beyond their means and are now struggling. By playing their part in the whole credit/debt/house-price/banking bubble they have helped to make innocent people suffer, for example: pensioners who are seeing their income slashed by falling annuity rates, rampant inflation and pathetic returns on savings. How do reckless people sleep a night, knowing they contributed towards making the innocent suffer. Answer = they don't give a damn because they are too stupid to recognise the consequences of their actions.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.”Comment

I feel your comments are age-ist. If only that was a crime in society, as many people treat younger generations like garbage. Positive discrimination yet again huh! The facts are though, as I have observed, is the young arent "irresponsible" with cash and older people more sensible. ...Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

House prices are out of control, but there are plenty of bargains if one has time to look hard. I feel the only real way people have to get on the property ladder is to buy, gut and redo a home.Comment
