There is no such thing as "unaffordable housing". There is no
housing sold at a price that no-one can afford to pay, and there
is no housing let at a rent no-one can afford to pay. Even if
you really meant something else - council houses let on
immediate demand to any applicant, for instance - there are
plenty of people who cannot realistically afford to rent a
property, pay all the associated recurring expenses and live on
their incomes. So "affordable housing for all" does not an
cnnot mean what its proponents mean. What they really mean is
subsidised, loss-making, housing. And once you go as far as
that, what logical barreier is there toi the idea of
subsidised, loss-making food shops? Pubs? Restaurants?
Holidays? Sky TV?

So you're quite happy for people to live on the streets?

Brimstone once more takes the Non-Sequitur Of The Year Award.

It's the corollary of your suggestion.

No it isn't.

Firstly, I never made any suggestions. I made an observation. Do
learn the difference.

Secondly, to the extent that some wild stab could be made at
refining a "suggestion" out of an observation, yours was the
wildest and the most inaccurate that could have been made.

You were wrong.

Got that?

Have another stab...

Please do realise that:

"There is no such thing as "unaffordable housing"." is not a
suggestion.


What makes you think that's the part of your rant that I was
referring to as a suggestion?

"Rant"?

Translation from Bromstonese into English: "Reasonable point to which
I have no countervailing argument, but nevertheless don't want to
accept".
So... when you said "suggestion", you now claim you didn't mean the
observation. OK, perhaps you meant the question (because there are
*no suggestions* in what I wrote)?

Let's just go over it one more time in order to any further
misunderstandings or misapprehensions on your part... what I wrote
contains an *observation* (which you know you cannot controvert,
which is why you respond abusively), a conclusion and a *question*.
No "suggestions".

Although ending with a question mark "And once you go as far as that, what
logical barreier is there toi the idea of subsidised, loss-making food
shops? Pubs?Restaurants? Holidays? Sky TV?" is recognisable as a suggestion.

Perhaps what's really needed is for you to get out of your "I'm alright
Jack" bunker and start looking at the world through different eyes.
