More manufactured outrage. Suggesting people default on their mortgage is no different to suggesting they declare themselves bankrupt. It’s painful and has social stigma, but if you don’t have money what else can you do? Maybe if he suggested doing a runner he’d get more sympathy: the consequences are essentially the same but there might be fewer forms to fill out.
Incidentally, I assume the minister got money for his second home. Does the Express not pay its journalists expenses when they’re working away from home?
The burglary headline strikes me that they just did a search function on a study paper until they found a word that perked their tabloid cocks, e.g. “EU”, “Labour”, “PC”, “immigrant”, “asylum”, or in this case “break into”. It’s almost certain a massive amplification of the truth, probably containing a quote from the TPA.
It was called “Beat the Burglar”, in which a ‘reformed’ burglar would break into people’s houses and then show people how easy it as, before advising them on how to beef up their home security. Despite the fact that all participants knew it was a TV show, and signd the release forms, quite a few people got very annoyed and upset.
It seems that as far as Mail/Express logic goes, prevention is not preferable to cure. So why police/NHS etc should be available at the drop of a hat if anything does go wrong, the idea that they (paid for out of OUR taxes of course) should suggest how to reduce the chances of anything bad happening is met with undisguised horror and calls of Nanny State Gone Mad.

If so, I’m sure Jan Moir is warming her talons of insinuation and suggestion…

The “Police break in” headline is a complete lie even based on the actual report and even that is deliberatly unclear.
Unfortunaly, the comments suggest a handful of idiots have already fallen for it.
Didn’t that bloke used to do that on that BBC program. I’m sure when I was jobless that such program existed
