Annual household income must be less than 60k.

Wasn't aware of that but if the subject of the Cameron PR stunt is a director of an estate agents and is married to another estate agent, it's gonna be difficult to imagine their combined income at less than £60k (unless that is net, net, net)

Likewise, or will be very soon, its one thing that they have got right and if it results in a surge in re-selling prices of houses then that is unfortunate but we've spent the last five years looking at the alternative and the alternative doesn't work.

Well who'd a thunk that?
