Loan Sharks Set To Enter Mortgage Market

Loan sharks are pleading with the chancellor of the exchequer to let them help in the current mortgage crisis, we have discovered.

Heavy Brothers Finance Ltd, which specializes in loans with an interest rate of over 1500% a year, said they have had a number of approaches from worried first-time buyers who fear that they will never get on the housing ladder because of the mortgage drought.

The chancellor is said to be considering the offer, along with a number of other options which includes scrapping stamp duty, doubling stamp duty, trebling stamp duty and burning down all houses under 2 years of age.

Chancellor Darling Considers Doubling The Rate Of Stamp Duty

A spokesman from Number 11 has dropped a hint that one of the options Chancellor Darling is now considering is to drop hints that he is about to double the rate of stamp duty on house purchases in an attempt to get the recently stalled housing market back on its feet again.

The housing market is said to have stalled when Darling, 6ft 1in, refused to rule out that he was considering scrapping stamp duty for a limited period when it was hinted at by a Radio 4 presenter last week.

A spokesman for the Estate Agents Association said that doubling the rate of stamp duty would definitely put the fear of god into anyone who has been moaning on the telly about the chancellor possibly scrapping it soon.

"This could be the short term fillip that the market has been looking for, well done Darling. It's thinking outside the box like this that has made him only the second chancellor of the exchequer this millennium," said a person.

Down And Outs Who Sleep On the Street Are Now Richer Than People Who Own Homes

Tramps who sleep on the streets at night and don't have two pennies to rub together, are now richer than people who live in 5 bedroom mansions, according to research

Percy Sheldon, who has been sleeping on the streets of London for the last five years, made no money last month at all, but when compared to the £5000 the owner of a 5 bedroom house in Mayfair lost when his house fell that much in value in a month, he's literally rolling in it.

The newly rich 'street sleepers' could rise up and take over large swathes of London in the coming housing recession, according to some guy in orange banging cymbals.
