        @who2stu yep I agree. Also the digital money that banks create out of nothing helps push the prices up by lending it to the wealthy.

        @BBCBreaking @nancygedge So more fuelling of currently inflated house prices & exacerbating existing dangerously undemocratic inequalities.

        @BBCBreaking a step in the right direction! No person who pays tax all their life should have to leave their family with a tax bill.
