That's a fact , you may not like it but it's a fact

This really is my last reply to you feedback or whatever your username has changed to now , the evidence of the effect of right to buy on the social housing stock of this country is out there , I have even given you the title of a book written by an expert on social housing policy , there are numerous articles online that back this up , from people working in the social housing sector, if that's not good enough for you then I am wasting my time , in fact I have just wasted two minutes of my life typing this
