Something is being done about property where I live, but we're doing it ourselves. The community, is doing it. And in doing it we genuinely hope to be able to stabilise house prices (or even bring them down). Buying property here to then put on the rental market is slowly looking less and less attractive and rents have already come down. By providing properties for young professionals we're managing to help other demographics too.

Tories want to mess it up for us though.

As I said - When you explained more what you did I thought it sounded a good idea. However it all sounds very "Big Society" for me :-)

Interesting that the Lib Dem membership has seen a boost in numbers since Clegg announced his resignation.

It's a shame that Clegg had to resign because he was a really good leader and the Lib Dem's will have a hard time replacing him. While it may not look it now taking them into coalition was the right thing and by the time of the next election people may feel a whole lot different about them. He gave the party a chance to show what they could do in office and made them a non protest party. I just hope the next guy won't squander that.

However he did need to resign. Unfortunately the electorate required his blood for the perceived betrayal. Whether he deserved it or not is irrelevent.

Err, if you don't know the difference between Gross and Net ... :)

Mostly agree about the tax burden, but trust me, people in that area, earning that sort of money are not struggling.

Younger people earning that sort of cash won't be living in such a big house and their disposable income will be less because more of their earnings will be going towards mortages, but the difference between wondering whether to buy that £6 bottle of red rather than the one at a tenner, as opposed to worrying about putting food on the table and heating your gaff is very real.

I know the difference. I was just asking if that's what you meant when saying gross instead of properly using combined.

OK so they earn 85K gross which is going to be a good bit more net than one person earning 80K.

Do you really want to have to put in the work to get to that position or the stress when you get there?

It's a serious question.

A lot of good footballers have the ability. Not all make it. Why? Too busy wanting to be young and partying and not putting in the graft. Is the general population any different.

We all make our choices in life. Who's to say who is right or not.
