Selfish?
Absolute bollocks. Both sets of my grandparents died in council accommodation. They left next to nothing to my parents.
My ex partners father was Ely stock, bought his ex council house and as a result managed to pass on something to his kids.
Why the fk should making money from property be the preserve of the wealthy and denied to working class people?
The issue isn’t that some people who lived in their own homes were allowed to gain the value of them, it’s that not enough new council housing was built to replace it.
I've noticed, it is nearly always people who own their own homes that seek to prevent others from having the right to do the same.
