I would second that. Sometimes it's relavant, sometimes it's not, the mods can judge.
When it's 'here's the reasons you should vote BNP', it's not.

Pathetic equating being opposed to expanding the population by 200k + a year with being a BNP supporter.
If I was a BTL who said I was pro immigration because it meant I could buy more properties would I be called BNP?
If I was a factory owner who said I was pro immigration because I could get people to work for less money and worse conditions would I be called BNP?
If I was a working man who said he was anti immigration because it lowered my wages and contributed to pricing me out of buying a home would I be called BNP?

Not that I support their views or anything but isnt the internet supposed to be the place where you can air your views, so who decides the social barometer and whats next to be kicked out of acceptable conversation.
If something pisses you off just ignore the topic or put them on ignore if you feel so strongly.

Oh come off it. This site is a three ring circus populated with a good crop of cranks and losers. Half the posts on the site are nothing whatsoever to do with property prices. The very idea that mainstream society will be coming on this site to "learn" anything is delusional.
As for the BNP brigade - they are as entitled to their views as anyone else. There would be delicious irony if you as a liberal tried to get them silenced.

I agree I am hoping to sell my house at a profit and emmigrate in the future. If people start believing that immigration causes HPI then maybe a house price could happen !!

What about when it's a shovel? Or a trowel?

I agree that HPC.co.uk can get rather bigotted at times and can put people off trying to find out about the upcoming crash, but the trouble is that one of the underlying excuses for HPI is immigration. It needs to be discussed so lurkers and new visitors can see whether house prices really have departed from the fundamentals or whether there is a housing shortage as is claimed by the media and the government.

This is exactly the sort of idiocy that should not sully these hallowed pages. I don't care if it was meant as a joke, it's idiocy and it makes us look like a joke. Normally I hesitate to complain, amd provide the oxygen of publicity, but as that is the point of this thread, now seems like the time. Racial incitement and insults have no place on a forum discussing house prices. You don't have to delete it, just move it off topic, where it should be.
And Mods; it does not just make us look like racist fools, it makes you look like apologists. And furthermore, it drives people away, if you know what I mean.
