Oohhh, shots fired!

Give me your banking details and we’ll see what we can do.

That would actually get me interested in politics.

Geoff Nattrass a party for clarkson already exists- ukip

Fuck, I'm not even British and I'd vote for them.

Clarkson was remain.

mctim89 I've noticed that Frankie Boyle used to laugh whenever David Mitchell made a joke. Most of his other fellow panelists never seemed to have that effect on him.

yeah i noticed that as well. i think mitchell's comedy is to his taste

Hugh Dennis always seemed to make Frankie laugh

Poodle Cuss and that comment tells me you've not watched much of either

+Andrew Cooper I mean, being cute is 35% of it, let's not lie here. If you were a straight woman (or gay man?), you'd understand.

I agree. Nowadays it's just a bunch of comedians fighting with each other to get their jokes on TV :(

@@peterclarke7240 who will would have thought 2008 was a good year

Boy do I have news for you all

Still true 10 years later. And he's just come out with a new book.

why? There's literally nothing he could say that Jon Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Obama, all of hollywood, news, academia or government hasn't already said..... the orange man's a nutter.

RollOnToVictory Yeah, well, just because it was said once doesn't mean we don't need a reminder once in a while.

Just be happy that you got a dirty carrot instead of a spoiled to the core peach.

You're very mislead. The houses weren't necessarily worth less than they were selling them for. And the housing bubble is really the very tip of an iceburg.

***** "Houses are worth as much as they're sold for. Always." Well DUH, in a self-fulfilling definition loop of defining a term like worth right back as "the price it sells for". But the whole point of a bubble is that worth can be completely out of touch with reality. The problem with using wealth so broadly is it becomes impossibly to really talk about if houses are arbitrarily far too costly to afford than they really could be. It's fine to have these games of SUCH arbitrary value for luxuries like art, or for financial instruments like currency. But we are talking about people's fucking homes here. People are either ending up homeless or forced to fritter away their wealth on renting their home. I think it is YOU who is playing dumb to economics, as if a very well funded and connected buy-to-rent company is the same sort of buyer as a cautious first time buyer who banks are reluctant to give any substantial mortgage to. They are NOT going to have the same spending power OR possibly buy as hastilly. It gets rather tedious when homes are built that they know local skilled workers can afford only to find EVERY SINGLE LOT bought up to be rented out! And the rents are as high or worse than any mortgage payments. It's completely out of touch the idea that people going at their own pace will buy up these houses before. The result is people pay as much or more but for a home they don't own, will NEVER own and are just paying their landlord's mortgage plus extra on top. My parents did this, they got VERY rich off it and honestly they say they felt it was the worst thing they've ever done. They had just economically screwed dozens of other people.

They were worth less, their value was inflated artificially by people given loans they could never repay.

Houses are worth as much as somebody can pay for! The problem was that people couldn't really pay for them, and so the prices were inflated beyond what the market could manage.
