There's a bloke lives by me in a council house , he's ninety , real good bloke , he could have bought his house years ago , he has plenty of family he could pass it onto

But he's a true socialist and that property will be available for the next family in need of social housing when he passes away

That's what council houses were built for in the post war period , not to be sold off on the free market leading to increased social division , leaving what remains to be a dumping ground for the vulnerable
