All those paper millions that made us all feel so rich are gone, and now we curse the day we ever got on the ladder, we curse the ancestry that gave us this obsession with the land, and we curse the politicians, the banks and the media that encouraged the madness.

What?
You curse the media?
OK let's assume that you weren't part of the media "that encouraged the madness" for a second... No sorry I can't, you were THAT media, the very one that encouraged the madness unless you can confirm that you never said the below:
The smart, ballsy guys are buying up property right now - Sunday July 29 2007 - )
A beautiful extract of that article reads:
Tell you what, I think I know what I'd be doing if I had money, and if I wasn't already massively over-exposed to the property market by virtue of owning a reasonable home. I'd be buying property.
And today you have the guts of blaming the media? Please tell me that this is an attempt of getting back to your old profession, the comedian.
