"even by Lord Archer, there's a blast from the past
and another one. However he stated, Starmer was really clever in how he put his questions yesterday. Got this deceitful PM really rattled." Yes Nice of Old Archer to go into the London GMB HD itv studio but he should have also stated: Johnson PM will retain the power to exonerate himself of any possible breach of the ministerial code Last edited by arista; 29-04-2021 at 08:04 AM. |

"But it was just the same for earlier generations!" I wonder why people these days might need more help if they want to start gathering assets . How do you argue with basic statistics? Baffling stuff. |

I have done nothing of the sort I was pointing out the different forms of help available today, and was also disabusing the notion that the bank of Mum and Dad is a fantasy

You added the "sigh", you called it "benefitting", the meaning of the post is pretty clear? Why would you say "We didn't have to rely on parents to help us out back in the day ... sigh". You framed it - quite clearly - as a disadvantage for previous generations but unfortunately the statistics just don't back up the "sigh". It was worse for people in the mid-00's at the peak of the housing bubble but we're quicly getting back there again. Other than that? The cost of a house relative to income has more than doubled since the 90's. Sigh. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 29-04-2021 at 08:24 AM. |

I am not implying anything, I am stating there was no help back in the day,...fact There is help today fact yes house prices are out of control in some areas, but there are still affordable homes out there low interest rates and a 25 year term anyone who can get their foot on the ladder by whatever means would be crazy not to, paying rent is dead money so I take my hat off to Amy and her boyfriend, yes they have had a set back but they will get there bowing out of this now because as per I am being told what I think

in the 80's when i bought my first house, i had to save like crazy, take any overtime that was offered to scrape a deposit together. We didn't have the schemes available to help purchases in those days. Then, you had to serve your time with a building society, put any spare cash their way until they deemed you could get on the property ladder. People face different challenges at different times, but they are challenges just the same

...surely it’s fair to say that each generation faces their own problems/financially and otherwise...there is no ‘easier or harder’ because ‘lifetime building’ is a difficult thing for everyone or most people...in modern times, younger people will face ‘unchartered territory’ type stuff and whether there is help for them won’t be a black or white thing either, it’ll be individual and dependant on other things in their lives...back in the day, other generations will have faced ‘unchartered’ because there wouldn’t be progression if there wasn’t new challenges with each generation...and there would have been some supports for some back in the day and not so much for others...

sorry but thats bollocks. House prices vary dramatically across the country. There are still places where property can be purchased for a song. If the aim is to get on the property ladder, it's still perfectly possible

...it would also I think have to be considered whether cheaper housing areas would be linked to little employment in that area because that wouldn’t be problem solving to have a property/mortgage and struggle for employment...

No one said it's "impossible" but the evidence for it being harder is concrete and staggering. The numbers are there, the figures are there, the shortage of housing stock is well documented, there are record numbers of families stuck in private rentals year-on-year and it's not through choice so ... ? |

[In a bombshell move, the Electoral Commission yesterday opened a formal investigation into the funding of the lavish refurbishment of the couple's official flat. Pictured: A design by Lulu Lytle, who is believed to have carried out the refurbishment] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...at-refurb.html Last edited by arista; 29-04-2021 at 10:03 AM. |
