I believe that some voted for them to punish the poor some more.
they thought Dave was going to leave them alone and make them rich because he kept saying how much he loves the hard working people.
I also believe some people voted them back in because they're stupid.

Dave maybe nuts but he's clever enough to fool them stupid people :)

btw, I'm obviously not in that league but my properties have passed the 1.5 million mark by a fair way, and I'm doing my best to make them all earn their keep :)

Its not a tiny percentage, in london it up to 75% of new builds being snapped up by foreign investors and it's spreading to other cities

You appear to be confusing me with you.... ;)

I'm here with my wife and my son & his girlfriend - and we are all very relaxed and enjoying the lovely weather (high 30s), cheap food & drink, and friendly locals.

Life is good....:)

Presumably then you never use the NHS and your kids all went to private schools because you would never allow the state to give you anything :rolleyes:

In fact it is such a growing problem in London that Islington council plan to fine buy to leave investors
