    Dunno Clippy but (s)he is very anti-BTL. Hates anyone who owns or makes an income from property.

    Constantly chirps up about doom and gloom in the housing market.

    Probably just some envious saddo who missed the boat.

    Ah, it makes so much sense now. Allowing the pound to fall against the European currencies to make minimum wage jobs less attractive to foreign migrants to stem and then reverse the flow.

    Only problem is the effect that it has on non-core inflation. Oh yes, they have got that one covered too: just say “it’s a worldwide problem and outside the control of government”.

    You have to hand it to this government; they are economic genii.

    BERLIN — Some good news for Central and Eastern European countries facing labor shortages comes from a recent report by Britain's Institute for Public Policy Research.

    Polish nationals, the biggest group of migrant workers to come to Britain since 2004, are clearly starting to return home. People arriving from countries such as Poland are falling, and greater numbers than before are leaving, says the report.

    Short term factors include their PM, Tusk declaring a tax amenesty.

    Anyway, what does is matter other than the fact that the Chablis quaffing
    middle class are going to have to stop talking about how much their house is worth and have long boring discussions regarding the best way to redo their own wiring and plumbing in their rapidly devaluing house

    Don't worry, if that story doesn't grab you, I've got a real life BTL doom story. Heard it yesterday. Will post soon.

    PS: All those poles going home will lower rents, right
