Yay, Jade’s in the White dead girl corner. We’ll she’ll soon be dead..
90% mortgages on Northern Rock – is this a good thing or not? I guess it depends who they’re giving mortgages to. Nice white middle class people – good. Working class people, bad.
“Your brilliant new life and style section” – what bollocks
Jade: That smug bastard’s going to flush away her cash before her kids get to age (sorry for cynical)
90% loan on taxpayer: “Northern Rock” will make cash out of lending; some people *can* afford mortgages and I’m sure they’ll be quite sensible about lending, but I guess its bad news as Labour is in government.
“Why are women so angry”? – way to pigeonhole ALL women. Perhaps if they stopped reading this depressing comic they’d be more cheerful?
Bubbles – I’m guessing it means a 90% mortgage, which means you can borrow 90% of the value of the house, but need to find the other 10% yourself.
As for the ‘why are women angry’ story, Steve summed it up best. Maybe if they weren’t constantly bombarded with misogyny they’d be happier. That said though, it’s men who I always see kicking the shit out of each other in pubs and starting wars and such, so maybe they’ve got this the wrong way around (again)
Try hanging around any major city on a Saturady night.. it’s not just the men that kick the shit out of each other. The women do to, and they’re wearing high heels.
They scream for the banks to lend saying as it’s taxpayer money they have to, yet when they do they run AND GUESS WHO’S PAYING FOR IT? headlines like this
Well as much as I dislike this, it is the only way me and many others will get a property to own.
And what government was it that started selling council housing at such a low price, whilst shaping the market so that renting a council house didn’t seen as viable as buying it.
And the money raised….Wasn’t spent on replacements? What kind of stupid idiotic government would do that….. Only our “Greatest Primeminsters” government.
Labour are at fault for this but like most of this credit crunch the damage was already set in by 1997, this lot just continued with the failing idea.
Why are women so angry? Because they read the femail.
Anyone read Mel Philips today on the BNP? Lots of very good points on why people vote BNP, but apparently the Tories just aren’t right wing enough anymore and apparently just because nobody backs HER idea of what it is to be British is all conducive to BNP support. It’s pity because Mel Philips despite some of her many faults has written some superb articles on the BNP. I wish her readers would listen to her points about the point that the BNP are white supremacist, the comments following her articles are nuts.
And THIS GUY puts it perfectly
Melanie……everytime you tell us that there is only black and white and never any shades of grey while ignoring that fact that the vast majority or problems are not as simple as we would like them to be, you drive people to the extremes. An extreme, in the case of the BNP, that gives people an easy simple route to blaming (alleged) outsiders. An extreme that will make living together, sharing our common humanity, harder. An extreme that will make us all poorer because protectionism is bad economics. Yes, the government lets us down, yes the global economy is in a mess becasue of too little regulation but fueling mistrust between people is no solution to a healthy and properous society.

Very typical of the immature responsibility-shirking hacks like Phillips indulge in. She’s spent years throwing conspiracy-mongering rubbish about the country, indeed the whole Western world, being under some sort of siege and mainstream political parties being some sort of out-of-touch irrelevance and she should know perfectly well where this sort of thing leads to when it filters into the public mentality.
I cannot even begin to express how horrified and scared I am by the number of rabid BNP supporters whom, I assume read the Mail, and whom have posted comments on Mel Philips BNP piece. I knew that the readership were pretty barking but not that they were this vile!
I once remember reading a review of a documentary about the Nazis in the Daily Mail’s TV Guide. The review ended with something along the lines of “It is unimaginable how these people could have come to power”.
But given several of their own unhelpful (to say the least) columnists’ daily mind- narrowing rants, I don’t think it’s actually that hard to imagine at all.
>The review ended with something along the lines of “It is unimaginable how these people could have come to power”.
It’s depressing how many people think the Nazis rise to power was some kind of impossible-to-understand abberation. It makes perfect sense why they gained power in Germany in the 1930s. Germany was a proud military power which had been brought low; the economy was in freefall and a communist revolution looked like a very real possibility. It makes a great deal of sense that Germans would be drawn towards a party lead by a populist decorated war veteran who pretty much promised to everything to everyone. Working Germans he promised work and social justice, middle class Germans he promised security, German businessmen he promised wealth and to hold-back the threat of communism and socialism which would ruin them. Even many British conservatives had good things to say about him at the beginning; it was only when people started to highlight the Nazi party’s use of violence, disregard for the rule of law and the persecution of the Jews that the broader right started to think that Hitler was a bad sort after all and, eventually, an active threat.

Maybe woman are so angry because everytime they pick up a newspaper they are bombarded with negativity, vitriol and fear.
I assume it wouldn’t take too much searching to find a past Mail article slagging off Jade Goody.
Who on earth is going to pay 90% interest on a mortgage – It’s madness.

Bottom line: What a crock of shit

So the Taxpayer must profit from any interest.

90% mortagages I guess are 90% of the property?

After all the fuss and noise about 100% (and beyond) mortgages you’d have imagined they might think a 90% mortgage something of a return to sanity.
But no.
Pathetic.
Maybe they should ask Melanie Phillips why she’s so angry.
Steven, thanks for explaining, but it was an attempt at humour, I don’t think I’ll bother again.
Sorry!!! Didn’t mean to be patronising! For all I knew you could have been quite young as there’s been a few post here that were 13 or so.
IQ is 13 or so, age is considerably greater.

Got 200 thumbs down.

Shameful pluggage of my website on the Mail, but click here for a picture of Amanda Platell’s contribution to the ‘brilliant new life and style section’, it seems her contribution is designed with the sole purpose of making women angry:

I’d say the Labour Party’s abandonment of the working class is a far more significant cause than the Tories “Not being right wing enough” anymore.
