Help With Paying The Rent

[Moghrey Mie]

Some of our politicians are bad for peddling this basically sugessting it is a human right to be able to afford to buy your own house.

 

It's not that - they just really love handing our money out like sweeties so that voters think that they are great blokes and so that people will flock around them and kiss their idiot arses when they go out in public and so that they can pretend to be real big men in front of their property developer mates. This is why our economy is totally shagged because they can't simply leave it all alone and stop tinkering with it in order to keep themselves in their stupid jobs and keep their already colossally wealthy developer friends even more colossally wealthy.

 

The housing market is dead and I have not heard one person actually able to explain why it still seems to be superficially holding up despite the completely obvious fact that nothing is shifting, that lots of apartments are empty and that very few transactions are going through. The only logical explanation is government intervention like this and like the DHSS renting tons of empty new builds in Douglas to house their claimants in order to give certain developers the means of covering costs, and stupid first time buyer schemes. Government also owns a big chunk of commercial property in Douglas that just sits there housing businesses on preferential rates.

 

It's all bullshit and they should stop tinkering around with our money keeping this festering bubble from bursting as it should have around 3 years ago.

 

I agree the government shouldn't intervene to help people pay high rents.It just skews the market.

And why was it Allan Bell rather than Martyn Quayle who made the announcement or muttered the thoughts?

And why was it Allan Bell rather than Martyn Quayle who made the announcement or muttered the thoughts?

I think it was because several of the words in the announcement involved more than two syllables.
