Not sure it's entirely the business' fault. The relationship that some people have with their favourite websites can be rather intense. The 0.0005% that comment are not necessarily representative.

While the record high current account deficit is getting deserved attention this should also:
' The households and non-profit institutions serving households saving ratio was estimated to be 3.8% in Quarter 4 2015 compared with 4.8% in Quarter 3 2015. In 2015, the saving ratio was estimated to be 4.2%. The quarterly and annual savings ratios are the lowest since records began in 1963. '

Remember what Osborne promised in his 2010 Budget:
" Our policy is to raise from the ruins of an economy built on debt a new, balanced economy where we save, invest and export "

A better illustration of GDP:
http://www.ons.gov.uk/chartimage?uri=/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/quarterlynationalaccounts/quarter4octtodec2015/56c3b549
' Between Quarter 4 2014 and Quarter 4 2015, GDP per head increased by 1.3%, revised up 0.1 percentage points from the previously published estimate '
High current account deficits and low savings rates are associated with peaks of the economic cycle. The UK now has a record high current account deficit and a record low savings rate with GDP per head growing way below the long term trend.

Greedy property developers. Who built your house. And the place you work. And the place you shop. Who shouldn't be allowed to make a profit, unlike every other business out there.watford30 said:
It's easy to understand why people are so reluctant to see every square inch of their neighbourhood built over to house the millions here as a result of uncontrolled immigration. And further enrich greedy property developers at the same time.OldKingCole said:
I suspect I’m about the only resident in ther small town where I live (other than someone who is trying to sell a derelict garden centre) who isn’t busy signing petitions agains any more houses being built here.Patrick said:You don't feel increasing the population by the size of a major city like Cardiff, each year, every year might have some effect on housing supply/demand then? Not to mention Health, education, transport.
Of course. But the natural response to increased demand is increased supply. In the UK we don't seem to have that option. 93% of the UK is still fields or wilderness. We are 'full' - but not really. The space available to build is full. A massive planning liberalisation (it's your land - do WTF you want with it) would make the supply / demand imbalance evaporate PDQ.

Breaking news - Government passes 1947 Town Planning Act.logical_song said:
Farmland with planning permission is worth a lot more than farmland without. Are you in favour of unplanned housing development? What about roads, schools etc etc?Philip_Thompson said:I couldn't give two hoots about farmland remaining as such. If people want to keep their farmland as farmland then great, nobody should say otherwise.
However if someone wants to build on their land or sell their land to a developer why shouldn't they be allowed to? It's their land. Good luck to them.
At the same time once we've left the EU we should abolish agricultural subsidies and the CAP and not replace it with anything. If the farmland is productive then great, if it's not it should get the same level of support as other failed businesses.0 -

Osborne-sceptics might suggest this is yet another change showing Osborne has no understanding of Conservative supporters (or even people in general) less sophisticated than his own circle and who are more likely to use NS&I products than to have a stockbroker at the end of a phone.0 -

Actually Richard I usually enjoy your posts, sometimes they're funny ( most excellent chancellor ) and sometimes they're thought provoking. However at present due to the EUref we're simply in a pointless slanging match. Nobody is really going to change their mind and even if everyone on PB did, it would be meaningless in the scale of things.Richard_Nabavi said:
It's flattering to see that you don't think I post enough.Alanbrooke said:
as I said you were too lazy to to pick on something stupid from the Leavers.Richard_Nabavi said:
I don't think you understood what I wrote...certainly your post makes no sense at all in the light of what I wrote.Alanbrooke said:Why's it odd ? Both sides are pumping out nonsensical bilge and deserve to have the piss taken out of them. Your problem is either you are too thin skinned or too lazy to ridicule the ridiculous.
There are simply no winning arguments on either side, lots of total stupidity and the only arguments people can advance are personal invective.
Comments like mad, out of their senses and I know best just invite retaliation. It reminds me of Northern Ireland politics. Youre ian Paisley Junior by the way :-)

They're all full of crap.Richard_Nabavi said:It's very odd how PB has become full of comments criticising daft or dubious claims by the Remain side, and almost never daft or dubious claims by the Leave side.
Why is that, do you think? It's certainly not that there's any shortage of material!
If you want to ridicule anyone then do say but don't crybaby abut others doing it.
I actually think it's quite an interesting question. It might just be the lop-sided nature of the posters here, but perhaps it's an indicator of intellectual insecurity on the Leave side? Dunno.
People ridicule the opinions and actions of the 'other side' not their 'own side'.
Neutrals ridicule the ridiculous.
That happens in the EU debate as it happened in the Scottish independence debate and as it constantly happens in normal Con/Lab politics.
If you think there is more ridicule being aimed at the Remain side on PB that might be because of a combination of:
1) There are more Leavers on PB
2) The Leavers are more committed
3) The Remain side is making more ridiculous pronouncements
I'm not saying that any of those are necessarily true, they are more of a matter of opinion.
In a similar way a few months ago there was constant ridicule of Corbyn and Labour on PB.
And in the wider world the same sort of ridicule is aimed at celebs, sports stars etc

But that is the problem: the web designers have not clearly worked hard, or the links would work. There is no urgency here. No real deadline. If they needed another day or week or month to complete testing, why not take it? At a guess, because someone in management circled the date on a calendar.Jonathan said:

Not to mention Health, education, transport.
Of course. But the natural response to increased demand is increased supply. In the UK we don't seem to have that option. 93% of the UK is still fields or wilderness. We are 'full' - but not really. The space available to build is full. A massive planning liberalisation (it's your land - do WTF you want with it) would make the supply / demand imbalance evaporate PDQ.0 -
