I see that interest rates are expected to be going up again. The government wants you to chose between food or your house.
Not really, of course, they very much want to move property out of ordinary peoples hands. It's not for the likes of you. You need to be paying the financial elite unregulated rents.
Lots of people have. That's why the tories masters want to put a stop to it. It's not for the likes of us. That's the sort of income stream they want for themselves.
Or it's an unfortunate accident that pandemic financial support was to large institutions but not the self employed, that a crippling increase in interest rates are the price to be paid for escalating costs in profits for essential services and our reduced standard of living, significant alterations to the status of small private landlords have made it uneconomic for many, and that regulation is for our rights but not corporate behaviour.
Although it's a raw prawn that is still claiming it's all an unfortunate accident, when so many people warned you this was exactly what was intended.
This is not an expression with which I'm familiar.
Still, as to those small landlords - is it not the case that having collected equity paid for by others over many years, they have largely done ok and are now mostly on the "unregulated financial elite" side of the equation?
No, not necessarily. Which is why the tories are squeezing out small private landlords for the sort of russian connected types who like to own a property portfolio here. One group is more likely to contribute more to the bottom line than the others.
Also those property portfolio's needs renters...ideally ones with fuck all choice. Which is why it would help to push previous owners back into the rental market (that's private rental market, there is no public housing stock that can make a dent in demand), and the cost of joining the market increasingly high.
The model is to take from the community, and enable significant financial interests to milk that community for cash. Essential services, housing, football clubs....take your pick. It's all there to be seen.
