Historically, house prices have not moved in the same direction month after month even
during a pronounced downturn. For example, prices fell for seven successive months in
1989 before increasing in three of the first ten months in 1990 even though the overall trend
in prices was downwards.
So what excuse does the Express have for making it the headlines? How much emphasis could you put on the figures?
I thought the DE wanted house prices to go DOWN a couple of weeks ago. They can’t make up their mind, can they?
Also, last time, it was tea that cured cancer, then before that plums, then before that grapes! What’s it going to be next, standing on one hand on the edge of a cliff while someone shoots a cricket ball of your foot with an arrow?
Is there anything that doesn’t prevent cancer? The Express must have some vault of non-peer-reviewed medical hypotheses that they can trot out when they”ve got a space to fill on the front page.
God, what the fuck is it with Fern bloody Britton being the pin-up of the right-wing, middle-aged press? At least with Helen Mirren, I can *kind of* understand it.
The Good News: Take an aspirin, and tell the Cancer to fuck off !
The Bad News : don’t leave the house – it’s a DEATH TRAP out there!
AT LAST! AT LAST! The chavs won’t be able to move next door! Hurrah!
The Express does know it condemmed house prices rising doesn’t it?
Brilliant if house prices do rise it just creates an inflated market one which has been one of the problems that created the orginal market.
A parody of a parody!
From the press release itself:
It is always important not to place too much weight on any one month’s figures.
