House price inflation in the UK is still accelerating, government figures indicate.
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) - formerly the ODPM - says prices rose by 5.6% in the year to May, up from 5.1%% in April.

According to the government survey the average house or flat in the UK now costs £190,051.

Prices have picked up particularly strongly in Northern Ireland, where prices are 16.9% up on a year ago.

The one-month rise from April to May was 0.9%, the DCLG said.

This is getting out of hand. We need more immigration to prevent any premature bubble bursting.

And it was only last week that the housing market went into reverse.

Yo-yo'ed I tell yer.

The figures showing house prices falling ARE NOT THE GOVERNMENT APPROVED FIGURES.

How can we be expected to believe figures that ARE NOT GOVERNMENT APPROVED?

Good to see you are coming round to our way of thinking, we had previous concerns about your dedication to the greater cause and the party.

Something kind of hit me today
I looked at you and wondered if you saw things my way
People will hold us to blame
It hit me today, it hit me today


Just reply, you've changed your mind
We're fighting with the eyes of the blind


Yet now
We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly
They tell me "Son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far"

For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin
For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy
You're just an ally of the leecher

Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
We are the dead

But now
We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell

It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men

It's the theater of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill

Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
We are the dead
