Moving Heathrow to Berkshire is deranged. Everyone living near the noisy airport now, chose to, and there's an ecosystem of workers nearby.

I realise this may be economically naive. But people unemployed, when we need houses built, seems very weird to me.

ben goldacre @bengoldacre
Can the state train 10% of currently unemployed people to build houses, and then build 10 new towns? Is there a good reason not to do that?

So people with interest only mortgages from 1988 might have to move to houses 15% smaller, meanwhile: ind.pn/18DIzXn

moving, really, is not the end of the world. sort out stable rental tenancies for a younger generation and you're entitled to complain. man.

ben goldacre @bengoldacre
If you bought a home in 1988 interest only, and incompetently failed to repay a penny, at worse you'll have to move to somewhere 15% cheaper

that interestonly mortgage pack on moneyboxlive was a bizarre piece of partisan pleading on behalf of an older generation already asset rich

If you're wondering, (£) is the symbol for "Pay Wall", and this is the symbol for "Hassle Barrier": liberatemedia.com/wp-content/upl… #FT / @swe_wolfis

Good question. (Zzz)? RT @PeteDeveson: @bengoldacre If (£) denotes a paywall, what's the symbol for hassle barrier?

#bbcqt GPs are asked to exclude selves from CCG vote if it's for their service. But then their friends are voting for the service they sell.

#bbcqt ShirleyWilliams: "No GP who has got an interest in any private medical body can take part in any decision at all" That's just untrue
