But Thatcher for political reasons , to win votes and weaken the local councils , pushed the right to buy with massive subsidies and we are left with the housing crisis we have today .....a nation obsessed with home ownership and people breaking their backs to keep up with mortgages they can't afford

Capitalism is taking us to oblivion
repeating a lie over an over doesn't make it a truth

Thatcher built more social housing in her last year of office than Blair and Brown did in the entirety of their tenure.
