Losing the sky at night

An Englishman's home is his castle or more appropriately his castle of debt.  The value of mortgage debt has risen by 88 per cent since 2002, from £675bn to £1.27tn, according to Halifax (part of Lloyds Banking Group).  Over the same period of time, the value of the UK’s housing stock to reach £4.2tn by the end of 2012.  Telling us that we have housing equity of £2.90tn or a debt to equity ratio of  1 : 3.3 - my thanks to:

I would have thought that Mr Clegg, being a Sheffield MP (for the time being), would have an alternative approach to the building of 2 million homes in the already congested South East .

Reversing the current policies of 'WreakingBall' Boles is vital or great swathes of England will be lost to Barratt Homes for good. Why move the houses to the countryside when we could encourage people to move to where the houses are!  The hoodlum Planning minister Nick Boles has suggesting that the nine per cent of England built on so far should be increased to 12 per cent to meet demand. This would see 1,500 square miles of open countryside - over twice the area covered by greater London – covered with new housing. See my last post on this scandal.

Coming back to the deputy PM you will notice that the weasel Clegg is offering to build all over his coalition partners constituencies – I wonder why
