"I got off my arse, saved some money whilst working for someone else and started  4 of my own businesses. I'm a PROPERTY DEVELOPER, LANDLORD, music teacher and professional gambler. So you see I do know what I am talking about."


Am I the only one to see the irony of mad mick making his money from the property boom that was created by Mr Brown and the growth of unsustainable debt by a skewed housing market that encouraged people to borrow as  prices would rise year on year.

I bought my last house 5 months ago fully expecting house prices to continue to fall not rise. However I have taken the strategic view that the rent will cover the loss in value of this asset for the foreseeable future and eventually I will make a profit. So nothing to do with your mate Gordon and an excellent example of how to think like a business man. One more tip for you in case you missed it in my previous post. Diversify. Don't have all your eggs in one basket.

I think I've just come up with another idea for a new business - management consultant. Unfortunately there aren't enough hours in the day as these days I only like to work on average 2 hours per day.

You have my sympathy. Time to get off your arse and make something of your life.

If only there was such a thing as a Socialist anymore. everyone are neo-liberals, either left of right. As Nick Clegg has proved in the last few years; you can't be in the middle...

I wish you were right. Socialists have held this country back for far too long. Too many people wanting to have an easy life at the expense of others is never good for an economy.

oh dear, you really don't know what you are talking about do you?

You really must stop talking to yourself. Given your very limited contribution to this thread I think it's obvious which one of us knows what they are on about. It's time for you to stop blindly following the Labour party just because your mum and dad did and for you to start to think for yourself. You will then realise what a shower of shite they are and resent that they've taken you for a mug for so long based on class prejudice.

More evidence of Labour incompetency and where the real blame lies for our current economic woes (article on the left).

I can't be arsed to involve myself in debate because you just don't seem to want to know anything but your tripe, but the Times are hardly known for their lack of bias, now are they?..

Bloody hell... Is this thread now into its 4th page

They're only quoting what the Governor of the Bank of England said in a speech the night before. It's easy to check the validity of what they're reporting just by reading his speech.

You need to take off those red rose tinted spectacles and get involved in the debate by making some meaningful points. So far you have failed abysmally and your loss to the debate won't be missed.
