Lets talk about houses and mortgages.Why don't we just let the whole housing system colapse?
There is no reason not to I'm sure you'll agree so we'll have to talk about Easter 4 day weekend plans instead.

Because then everyone would know that the country is bankrupt? as you wouldn't be able to paper over the cracks with an asset bubble and multiple derivatives.

No, fuck it, you try something and it fails, draw a line under it and pick yourself up and try something else.Much worse to constantly try to fix the thing which is failing for decades.

I think I've fucked up by telling my ex that as I gave her four chances to inspect my flat and she has since the last offer assaulted me, that I no longer feel comfortable about having her in my home but that she can send someone else on her behalf instead.
Have I fucked up? I really don't want that fucking cunt under my roof.

You don't want her to come to your home, fair enoughYou want your daughter to come to your home and this will help it happen. Make sure Lusty is also there (as a witness), be civil and show her round. Don't let her look in your shredder and hide the pointy things.

Because it's political suicide.All those middle-England, home-owning voters? Those voters that all the major parties are trying to attract?
They're the ones who'll risk losing their houses. Many, many people were mortgaged up to the hilt before 2008, either with their own homes or their buy-to-lets, banking on the bubble continuing in order to make profit. The inevitable happened and they're casting around for somebody to blame that isn't yourself because this is the age of zero accountability.
The party that makes the decision to allow the housing market to collapse loses power. People have long memories, the Tories have never shaken the image Thatcher got them. Nobody wants to be at the centre of that shitstorm.

No you couldn'tAnd anyway, the problem won't be rectified by a collapse in the housing market, becuase London and the South East will remain utterly unaffected, and it's London and the South East that are the problem.
When people say "house prices are overinflated" they mean "house prices in the South East of England are overinflated"
