Sorry Andy, you come out as your "average" middle class twat here. "Average" house being £250K ? Maybe in the rich, egoistic, twattish South of the country. Up here (and pretty much everywhere else but in the London commutable belt) the average is currently around 120K or less. The "average" middle-class twat owning a 350K house in 2010 is not "average at all, unless your statistics only include members of the Tory party (the party of people complaining on the Sunday Times about taxes on second homes -- gosh!). Realistically, house prices will increase up to 30% max from now to 2010 (if we are lucky and the bubble doesn't burst, which sooner or later it will do). Even starting from your 250K, +30%, we end up with less than 350K. From reality, 120K + 30% ends up at 160K, faaar away from 350K. Please tell David Cameron never to get a job as estate agent.
Truth is, the Tory Party is still a reactionary force. David Cameron is playing the "compassionate conservative" game that G.W. Bush played on his first election, but as soon as he gets in office, like GWB, he'll enable legislation to rob the (working) poor to give to the (ultra)rich.
Anyway, I agree that this post doesn't belong to PlanetKDE.
