Hello .. :shrug:
By f*ck you are stupid.
I know everyone says so, and so it is sometimes overlooked, but you really are utterly stupid and an idiot hypocrite.
Just thought I'd remind you as you may well be too stupid to remember.

Previously homeownership was the preserve of the rich, then the middle classes and then, due to this policy, the less well off. If this was a labour policy it would be lauded but since its a tory policy (and a thatcher one to boot), somehow aspiring to own your own home and policies to go with it is deemed wrong.
Getting to the crux of your complaint is not the sell off but the lack of building new stock. That's something that has affected all governments and isn't related to selling off stock at all, it's lack of investment and desire tomake things happen
But what was the aim/point of it all?? For home ownership to be extended to the less well off for one generation? Because that is all that right to buy achieved. Now we are back to a situation where the majority can't really afford to buy only now there is less of a safety net.

Those who own their own homes tend to leave them for the next generation.
We have a situation today where mote people than ever own their own home. The main issue seems to be the large price differential between 2 and 3 and 3 and 4 bedroom homes. This has caused stagnation in the housing Market

Which is wonderful but they don't die until they are like 105, by then they are millionaires due to triple lock and their children aren't the poor anymore.
If they stuck a load of shipping containers where I live they wouldn't be for the homeless they would probably cost 175k each.

Mate you are none too new and you definitely have got passive aggressive tendencies there. You could be a replicant shamed by your fellows to swap your skin/handle. Nothing wrong with the triple lock in and off itself.

There is everything wrong with the triple lock. It means pensions will always rise by at least the growth on GDP, which in turn shifts the national wealth further from young to old.
By all means have growth in pensions, but do it so that wealth isn't transferred between generations.

Home ownership has fallen in England to its lowest level in over 30 years. Presumably there's been a similar decline nationwide.

Yeah its wrong at the expense of cuts to other payments but its a sound idea. In and off itself. I would suggest its all about priorities. Playing one against another is wrong but protecting old peoples incomes...result why not.

Because it's not sustainable in the long run. You can't have pensions growing at a rate greater than the rate of GDP growth indefinitely.

Fair enough. I can see what you are saying. Personally I got no problem with old folks getting a few extra quid compared to some of the ways our economy stacks up. As you can read I am no expert. It will take a brave government to try and wrestle a consession from the older demographic. Maybe one that doesn't rely heavily on them for their core votes and has got a forward looking manifesto might manage it.

All true.
Irrespective of Party Politics it really is more than a 'surprise' that it still exists on the scale that it does. It is a disgrace.
Are we really becoming more civilised? or reverting to a more polarised, selfish society?

Brave but foolish by May and opportunistic by Labour really but the Tory's have feasted off the old vote for so long that it is hard to blame anyone for an attempt to wrestle it off them.
