I also have no sympathy whatsoever with not being able to afford private education. Maybe the fuckers will start actually giving a shit about state schools now.

Agreed, though I do feel that people are rather missing the author's (valid) point due to him coming across as supercilious arse. There was definitely a prejudice against state schools in my parents generation.

Also is it my imagination or is the gloibalisation argument just anti immigration racism in disguise?

I read his point as being more against outsourcing to India than anti-immigration. Even if it was, I don't think you can claim being anti-immigration is fundamentally racist (though the two are often associated).
I for one would be for restricting foreign property ownership if it enabled me to own a house.

As for the housing market, it'll collapse at some point, so thats that sorted.

I'd like to believe that. We'll see. The signs are there, I only hope that it falls far enough. I know plenty of people waiting to buy property who could take up some slack in the market.
