The reply above from someone with a background in local authority housing states that the RTB was probably the biggest factor in 4 decades contributing to the housing crisis

You love all that thatcherite crap but selling off council housing was a nightmare for those who needed it yet were not lucky enough to be stiffed money to buy it in the first place ....the worst kind of I am allright jack types imaginable .....I couldn't give a toss that they were paying rent .....so were other tenants worse off .....and those without a place to live saw their chances of even doing that slashed away

But uncle Bert bought his house and that money stayed in OUR family.....so that's OK, WE were hard working so stuff everyone else

You think you know everything but you don't

I know that's hard for you and you will never be able to admit it but that's the way it is

You have been pushing the mantra of right wing politics for ages and now you have a party to vote for

Whilst the current government are absolutely dire I won't be joining you

You would be better off sticking on a union jack t shirt and joining Nigel and his publicity team than waste people's time on here
