The ever rampant BBC blares that "Mortgage lending jumped to £11.5bn in March, a 24% rise from February...".
£11.5 billion?
At the height of the bubble from 2005 to 2007, gross monthly lending was around £30 billion (pdf) - bubbles that big need a constant flow of new money to keep them inflated, I don't think that £11.5 billion is enough.

"Who can offer the quickest way to the next asset price bubble"
BBC support it too. So do all the people. That is how the majority ideology will coerce us to vote.
