Guardian Money Editor Roasted On Twitter
Feathers have certainly been flying on Twitter following our article yesterday featuring an Appalled Landlords rebuttal of claims of 1,400% BTL returns suggested by Patrick Collinson “Guardian of Housing Ignorance“, who has since copped for a roasting on Twitter from angered landlords.

Exaggerating the success of businesses is done to whip up jealousy against ‘capitalists.’ It’s very destructive. @pcollinson

Collinson is well known in the property community as a half wit peddling a political agenda without ever resorting to any actual facts.

He also wants landlords out of the market but complains bitterly when the homeless figures go up as a result! And then blames landlords!

Really, you couldn’t make up his idiocy or hypocrisy. Where does he think the evicted tenants will go when LLs have to sell? He doesn’t say.

Maybe he thinks homeless tenants will miraculously find deposits and qualify for mortgages to buy?

Probably can’t reconcile the idea of properties being boarded up and laying empty whilst development stops in it’s tracks without landlords

Does he not realise that new blocks don’t get built in the first place without investor money? You’d think someone like him would know that.

The thought of properties laying empty and less development might be too much for his tiny brain to comprehend whilst homelessness rises

That’s right, because being made homeless automatically qualifies you for a mortgage under these new, stricter lending rules.

And you never ever get CCJs as a result of being evicted. Never. It's an automatic win for every tenant. Sec 24 helps with this no end! ??
