That must be a typo, surely it should say NOW MILLIONS FACE MORTGAGE MISERY. I need to know more about the weekend’s weather in Kent and how it will have no impact on me what so ever.
SUB-ED: We’ve got our front page story, it’s a house price story that no-one else has.
SOMEONE ELSE: But there were elections yesterday, shouldn’t you have them.
SUB-ED: Oh yeah *adds crap Blair subheading*
Yet another non news day in the “World’s Greatest Newspaper”
In fact its a non news week
Monday: Fat People might not get treatment on NHS
Tuesday: another Health Scare
Wednesday: Some-one in business in gay + Diana
Thursday: Inaccurate weather forecast
Friday: When interest rates rise, mortgages are more expensive, shocker.
The Daily Express is so right, if people have over-stretched themselves so they cannot take a small rise in interest rates (we’re not talking about interest rates of 15% here) as set by the Bank of England, it’s obviously Blair’s fault…
Oh for fucksake! can’t they remember the repossion pandemic under the tories and their 15% interest rates?I know when i’d rather have owned a house. You know what I did when I guessed a reasonable set of future rate rises?
Went and got a fixed mortgage that’s what, it ain’t rocket science. Maybe they could get a tie in with the building societies to flog them on the front page, instead of that man/woman Vogue whores tawdry “shoes”.
Labour: Up 1%
Conservatives: Unchanged
Lib Dems: down 1%
What an undemocratic country we live in when a party can go up 1% and lose badly, while a party thats unchanged can make massive gains. Something needs to be done about our electoral system.
MatthewS, while I agree that our electoral system is shit (ask my mates, I won’t stop harping on about electoral reform), its worth noting that those results are from last year’s local election. In Britain most councils work by having each ward elect one councillor (most having 3 councillors overall) each year with one year off every 4 years.
As a result they’re all on a four year rotation, and therefore if you want to compare the lot that was elected on Thursday with how they did last time these particular councillors went to a vote you need to compare them with 2003’s result.
Shit, I feel miserable every sodding month when I see the mortgage payments go out but thats the price you pay. Don’t need the sodding Express to tell me that.

Why do we never read “Interest rate rise will make millions of pensioners better off”?
For: “taking such a kicking in the polls”
Read: “we’re not sure of the result – we had to go to print, but rest assured, WE HATE NU LABOUR AS MUCH AS YOU DO.”
Doesn’t the bank of England control interest rates.

but nu labour have got a kicking in the polls, so fuck you lefty wankers
What a strange news agenda, even for the
Ex-press.
Instead of “a £27,000 watch and shoes worth £2,000…” it should read “She’s wearing a short skirt and a low-cut top so she’s on the front page”.
