So please, please don’t get caught up in the media-generated hysteria, don’t buy Mr Zuckerberg’s crap shares and don’t get ‘zuckered’ by the master of ‘zuckering’ Mr Zuckerberg. If you want to throw your money away, give some to me. I need it because I’ve been blacklisted from working as a consultant since I started writing my books. As for Mr Zuckerberg, he doesn’t need your money quite as much as I do.

With somewhere between 60% to 80% of our laws coming from Brussels, we don’t need 646 greedy, thieving, idle MPs any more. Just 200 or at most 300 would be quite enough. After all, anything to do with agriculture, fishing, trade, immigration and much more is now decided by unelected eurocrats. So perhaps our lazy, lying, hypocritical, incompetent, arrogant, thieving, useless MPs should refrain from telling the rest of us to “work harder”.

By the way, on a totally different subject, the group of men responsible for the grooming and repeated rapes of young white girls in the Rochdale area were Muslims. The politically-correct BBC and most of the press refer to them as “Asian men”. But Chinese are Asian, Koreans are Asian, Thais are Asian, Malaysians are Asian, Indian Hindus are Asian, Sikhs are Asian and none of them go in for grooming and raping young white girls. Yet our cowardly press are terrified of telling us that all the men involved were Muslims, so they hide behind calling the men “Asian” – pathetic.

And if you are either selling or buying a home, my experience is that one bunch you should be very careful with is the Countrywide Group. Countrywide claim to be “The UK’s largest and most successful estate agency and property services Group” and they seem to be based in the Cayman Islands – I wonder why. They own 47 estate agency chains including: Austin & Wyatt, Faron Sutaria, Palmer Snell, Hamptons, John D Wood and many more. They will offer you all kinds of services like conveyancing, surveys, mortgage advice and much more. I’m not suggesting for a moment that Countrywide would ever use any of the estate agents’ tricks I mention in my article. But in my limited experience, they do seem (I’ll put this politely) rather focused on “getting the sale” and cross-selling (making sure you buy their other services). For legal reasons, I will say no more.

Most people now see Cameron as a spineless, lying, incompetent, shallow, selfish, out-of-touch, PR spiv who should never have become PM. Cameron has become the Prince Charles of British politics – a complete and utter self-absorbed waste of skin. The sooner Cameron resigns and hands over power to someone with some principles, ideas and backbone, the better. Problem is – there probably isn’t anyone in the Tory party with sufficient talent, courage and intelligence to become PM. What a disaster for Britain.

I have experienced both types of surveyor. When I bought my first UK home, the surveyor deliberately and knowingly omitted to mention some faults. When I threatened to sue him, he quickly handed over £2,500. With my second home purchase, I realised British surveyors cannot be trusted to work in the interests of their clients, so I accompanied the surveyor on the survey. When I pushed him, he admitted that three faults we found were quite serious, yet in his report these faults were rated as minor (presumably so as not to upset the large estate agency selling the property).

So please, if you or anybody you know is buying a home – do NOT trust your surveyor, always always accompany your surveyor on the survey and always ask hard questions about any aspect of the property that worries you. British surveyors are mostly untrustworthy and you have to protect yourself against their self-serving pandering to the interests of the estate agents who provide much of their work.
