Enjoy!

I will.

Funny how demand for your media services seems to be on the increase. Hmm, I wonder why.

Anyone know if 6pm news is available for download after its finished ? I'd like to see this but don't get BBC1 out here.

This is going to be fun .....looking forward to it

Nice one FP, I'll do just that.

Gurgle, I think only the 10 O'Clock news is available from the BBC website itself, but we'll be recording it so you'll be able to download the extract directly from the HPC server

Recognition by the mainstream media is significant, very significant. Looks like many of the bears on here got it right long before the poisons all began hatching out of the mud!

Well done FP.

"Soft landings!"

Make sure you give it to them between the teeth.

The calls for interest rate cuts are laughable. The idea that you can create growth in an economy based on ever increasing debt - secured against ever increasing house prices is plainly stupid. Yet many so-called economists are calling for this. The only solution they can see to the credit crunch - caused by the endless re-parcelling of debt - is to create more debt.

Why are people so happy when their house price goes up? It means two things.

1) They'll need a bigger mortgage to move up the ladder.
2) Their children will one day have to carry a huge millstone of mortgage debt all their lives.

The growth of BTL has been unfair and discriminates against young people - many of them already suffering with debts from university. Why should an existing property owner be able to leverage the equity in their property to buy another one - when young FTBs have to scrimp and scrape to save a deposit? It is not fair and is having huge social consequences.

High house prices mean we have a generation priced out of home ownership and priced out of having children. Is this good for society?

What are young people supposed to do? Move from one Assured Shorthold Tenancy to another throughout their lives. If young people are going to be priced out of home ownership - legislation needs to be brought forward to create long term tenancies.

Why should someone pay TWICE as much for a house as someone who bought it 5 years ago? Just because we had one-off 50 year low interest rates after 9/11. Interest rates won't necessarily stay low forever.

The government are to blame for this mess. They've stood by complicit while personal debt has more than doubled to 1.34 trillion over the last 10 years. Gordon Brown said he would not preside over housing boom and bust - and did nothing but milk the rising market for all the tax it was worth.

Give it to them straight.

totally agree with the above FP. Now that the commentators can't get you by saying stats show rises etc. etc. and everyone knows mortgages are getting harder to find, they are likely to try and discredit you by showing you as a "doom monger" who wants to profit from repossession misery. I would say, take all opportunities that you can to put the case for why rampant HPI has been so bad from our society, saddling people with debt, stopping young couples find space and security to have a baby, keeping parents out working away from kids to pay the mortgage, allowing our government to become corrupted by taking illegal donations from property developers etc. etc.!!

Nice one FP. Can you try and get the 'phrase 100% correect, guaranteed' in there somewhere.

It must be great getting paid for talking about your hobby

seriously do you get paid?

Is this live? If every member offered 50 quid would you consider dropping your kecks on national telly?

No seriously, good luck and I hope all goes well and you are remunerated well

May the force be with you FP.

I might get a bottle of bubbly and watch the numbers on the site soar after the news has finished.

100% Agree.

Plus, sticking another knife in Gorgon Frown's back will only add to your media appeal!

Well done.

Good luck FP

can you also debunk the myth that there is a shortage of housing.that remains the last bull argument really--well,that I can see

If the discussion moves towards BTL please ram home the point that those
who've gone into it in the past few years are "financially illiterate",
that cracked me up when you said it on the radio some months back.

Have no mercy dispelling the supply myths, house prices may have
gone up, rents are declining. High demand, it's speculative demand,
as soon as house prices stop going up a large proportion of the
demand will drop away.

I'm sure you'll be fantastic as always.

Kudos.

If you get a chance could you mention the massive house inventory in NI - up from 4k in Jan 2007 to 21.4k now. 1.7 billion worth of houses on Estatemate.com site alone and it doesnt cover all NI. Estate agents paying off staff. Very little houses selling. Thanks very much.

(Thanks Oldie)

Good luck! Will be watching! Try and mention NI 5xrise in inventory (see above)

Hope it goes well FP. Go for the jugular!

Give em hell, son. Wipe the smile of those snooty "presenters" faces. They are so far up their own backside, they can see what they had for breakfast this morning.

Are you sure you aren't being set up for when they cut rates (tomorrow)?

Could you give my mother a mention ? many thanks (if you recorded this morning then perhaps next time)

Please be sure to mention that if interest rates are cut, we will see a rapid rise inflation as the value of Sterling falls and anyone with savings or a pension will be screwed.

Most people seem to forget this.

Probably the most important point to get across. It may also be good to state that the cost of everyday items will thus rise beyond the reach of those who are most at risk.

Am I right to assume this is on BBC1 TV? Not BBC R4 or other BBC network.

what and miss the simpsons on ch4 at 6pm??

FP, could you add the link to the download on your first post?

Yeah, it must be. I wouldn't know.


Fat chance!

It was recorded at 1pm today.

Was it with Kate Silverton? Those lips... mmnnn

You might have to lie down...

I am a friend of her chiropracter.

And she's a woman...

Out of my way...

News24 can be watched here online, for those stuck at work

Anyone post a link as my intenet TV has been cut. Thanks.

I've just tuned in.... have I missed anything?

Here it comes!

FINANCIAL PLANNER you are my hero ! swooon !

There is nothing sexier than a man talking about a HOUSE PRICE CRASH !!!

OOOH I'd better go and have a cold shower.

Doh, they didn't mention of the site

We had the servers all beefed up and ready for them!

Jonathan - What a result!!! Brilliant!

Well done

GOD ! It was very Bearish wasn't it ?

Not enough comments from FP for my liking but at least he got his point accross very well.

WELL DONE FP !

Brilliant!

'Tis weird seeing someone talk about house prices falling from £300k to £200k on the main news. A truly surreal moment.

That was excellent, well done that man.

I think the fact they introduced him as a financial planner rather than someone from HPC.co.uk gives him more credability. If he was introduced as a spokesperson for this site people would just think he is a doom monger and "amateur economist."

I couldn't believe they just flashed straight to him and he came straight out with the £300k - £200k anecdote.....FANTASTIC!!!

Simon

When's your next outing, FP?

Its allways a mixed blessing when they mention this site, the title comes accross as maybe a bit 'flippant' and I do think if they had had 'HOUSEPRICECRASH.CO.UK' under Johnathans' name JOE PUBLIC might not have taken him seriously.

Short and sweet there FP , excellent .

Watch again here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/p...wm=1&nbwm=1

Watch here

Why is Martin Ellis still blathering on about the need for unemployment and interest rates to rise for prices to fall when the Halifax has recorded a 2.7% drop over the last 3 months without either being a factor? If that decline continues we’ll be seeing an annual reduction as large as any seen during the last crash by the end of next summer.
