Well neither does anyone else then . And whose to say he isn ' t offended at the person who used the quote ? <| sep |> This was so enjoyable to watch . <| sep |> Fuck off Dennis . <| sep |> Have successfully missed all four chances at getting this for $ 74 . 99 <| sep |> I imagine you cannot bring seastone into a DFcreated world such as the mirror world . <| sep |> Dormammu , I ' ve come to bar wait . <| sep |> It should be payable by the seller , not the buyerWhat would stop them from just passing it on to the buyer ? If VAT goes up to 30 %, companies don ' t just say well , better take the hit so we don ' t have to raise prices , unless the demand for the product is extremely elastic andor they have ample margins . There are not particularly large margins in the housing markets , and the demand is fairly inelastic . If a 2 bed terraced in London going up from 70 , 000 to 1 , 000 , 000 hasn ' t crippled demand , I doubt a 25 % tax will either . If you ' re already talking about 2030 grand deposits then there ' s no meaningful difference between paying a 25 grand deposit or paying a 20 grand deposit and 5 grand stamp duty . Also if you have credit enough to borrow 250 , 000 from a bank to buy a house , you definitely have credit enough to borrow 5 , 000 . Whether you like the rates on that loan is another question . Talking about reform of land and housing is pointless until you have a credible strategy of how to redress the political incentives that made it the way it is and keep it the way it is . None of this is an accident , its deliberate policy because of how economically and politically influential landowners are , both the billionaire Grosvenor kind and the millions of petty Englishmans home is his castle kind .
