Most of the new ones were from PFI and we are still paying dearly for them.

Why keep it PC ?
Tell us what you really think.
At least you know what my beliefs are. The Socialists Elite know what theirs are but wont clarify them, they know it would be political Hari-Kari if they did.

It's simple, they want to turn the UK into communist Russia in the 1960s.

Yes - quite right - that's what they want to do. Of course they do - all a bunch of commies really. Next they'll have unemployed women and youth sweeping the streets - oops - the other lot are doing that...

Hmmm, not sure anyone has been talking about women sweeping the streets? And in soviet Russia they weren't called unemployed. They were called comrades.
Still, just so we don't get criticised, best pay everyone to stay at home.

This is a joke, surely?

So it doesn't matter that we can't afford them, then?
I always wondered how on earth Labour managed to win 3 elections. Now I know.

Neither. Most certainly unfair of the paper and contrary to some opinions on here, the Mail is not vile. This is not about Milliband's father. It's about the freedom of the press after Levison. It's about to be decided and this was the Mail's opening shot against a politician they don't agree with.

These loans are for those who can afford the repayments, but can't get the loan. This is neccesary because 95% mortgages are not available anymore. It is a way of freeing up the market. The interest rate issue will be there whether we offer these loans or not and some house price inflation now offers a buffer against negative equity when house prices drop again when interest rates go up.

By some measures it was - as a result of what Alasdair Darling had implemented. N o matter - whetever hole we were in back then I'm not convinced that the tories have done much more than keeping digging. We'll see.

Thatcher was known to say that there was no harm in borrowing - after all is buying a house not just massiver borrowing by the individual. Besides - would you rather the schools and hospitals had completely fallen to bits - as they were under the tories? God knows the state they would be in today if we hadn't spent the money over these 10 yrs.

The Mail IS vile - it hates everything about modern Britain - and just loves medical scare stories with which it can stick the boot into the NHS.

The Mail isn't vile, nor are it's army of loyal readers. Paul Dacre however is a blight on modern journalism and should be removed from office ASAP.
Edit. I should point out that I'm not a reader of the Daily Mail...

Its a waste of time reasoning with Socialists, they dont have answers, they can only attack the efforts of others that dont follow their doctrine. Listening to some of the comments on here you would think it has been easy to buy a house in the past, interest rates were extremely high when I took out my mortguages, the current rates have been unrealistic and have punished the thrifty.

Labours economic policy:
Sell gold at between $250-$296 for a short term gain and to fund even more excessive spending
9 years later regret the decision when gold is at $1,896.50
Missed out on profits of circa 9 billion. That could have built a couple of hospitals but probably wouldn't have got as many headlines.

I am no Ed Miliband fan but can't help but feel this is only going to make them a bit more hated, seems a poor PR move to me.

Depends what you class as vile. In the proper context of the word then of course it is not vile. But it seems a very hateful, spiteful misogynist and indeed hypocritical piece of work that to me seems to oppose anything or anybody that does not conform to its view of the world. But like me really

Not too dissimilar to the Daily Mirror then with an equally one eyed view of society.

If I had a pound for every time a Tory politician said 'hard working families' in the last 6 months I would not need to worry about paying my heating bill.
I really object to that 'expression'.
I am retired and still pay a fair bit of tax whilst many 'hard working families in the 'burbs' are being paid a small fortune in housing benefit.

Fixed that for you. Apparently all politicians seem to think this is the key to winning all our votes. Listen to Milliband and Balls' speeches at their Party Conference.
As with expenses scandal so with bland rhetoric; they are all at it.
