How will London offices fare in 2017’s property market?

We were presented with several forecasts for the future of the UK economy in 2016, all differing slightly in their optimism. There were the gloomy predictions of the Remain campaigners—which led to George Osborne’s infamous ‘punishment budget’, and there were the more cheerful predictions from the Brexitiers. As it turned out, neither party was exactly correct. The post-Brexit economy has not been left in tatters as many thought it would, but it is hardly at its strongest point either. With...

Tory cuts will cost dying man’s family £50k if he survives beyond today

Theresa May is busy today, selling arms to a country that will decapitate people for sorcery and witchcraft and also getting very angry about the National Trust not mentioning the word “Easter” enough, for a day out, where kids run about looking for eggs at a stately home.

Is this the most “Cambridge” act of vandalism ever?

An educated vandal has attacked a new £1.25m houses in one of Britain's top university cities - with graffiti in LATIN. The protestor made his mark in an apparent objection at the lack of affordable new for locals in Cambridge, one of the UK's property hotspots.

Brexiteers demand return to bloodletting & re-introduction of blue blood

Brextieers who are revelling in turning back the clock, in the UK, to the past, have now moved onto ruining the practice of medicine. Maggie Selby, 75, said: “Before the EU came in, if we had a problem, a bit of bloodletting would cure it in no time. “Feeling ill?
