They mean as government policy of war for Israel squeezes harder.

Tell it as it is or not at all.

This is NOT due to the 'global' credit crunch- it is simply due to people borrowing beyond their means, and often lying on self- cert mortgages to do so.

The current global financial situtaion has restricted the availability of artificially and irresponsibly cheap credit, it did not push house prices up to 9 or 10 times average earnings; nor did it force people to take out loans they would not be able to pay back if circumstances changed slightly. Interest rates are still very low and employment high- anyone struggling now has foolishly borrowed too much and has not allowed for an increase in interest rates. in the 1990's interest rates reached 15% and unemployment was high, meaning many people faced a huge gap between their income and mortgage payments.

The whole magnitude of the 'global' situation has been magnified so that Gordon Brown can still claim to take the credit for 10 years of global prosperity while not having to shoulder the blame or come up with a solution for the current coming home of the chickens to roost.

You are not 'homeowners'- the house isn't yours unil the last mortgage payment, and unfortunatey, many of you have deluded yourself that you are 'wealthy' in an economy built on consumer debt and house price inflation on a speculative market.

Much of this could have been avoided had Gordon Brown upheld his promise not to allow house prices to spiral, restricting second home or buy to let mortgages, restricting immigration and- in Oxford- further limiting the expansion of the Universities with the consequent degeneration of much of the city into short- term rented slums.

Calm down dear,it's just a commercial.
