I'd say the last line of that statement is about right with Nu Labour being far from blameless also.

That house is 30 years old?

The Diana Excess is desperate.

And they accuse the left of the politics of envy...

Perhaps he should rent it out and do it the Tory way? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/right-to-buy-housing-shame-third-ex-council-1743338

The only thing highlighted by the whole right-to-buy scheme is that it was very badly planned without any regard for the long term repercussions or indeed any planned replacement for the low cost rental sector.

Then again we're talking about five year term politicians.

I disagree.

There was never any intention of replacing low-cost housing. It was about creating a stimulus to the banking sector and creating a whole new phalanx of mortgage slaves. Once the low folk signed on the dotted line for a mortgage, they were far less likely to strike or cause other disruption that may result in them missing a mortgage payment.

The saddest thing is that New Labour never took the opportunity to encourage councils to build more affordable homes

Are governments allowed to say to councils, here's a certain amount of money, you will build low cost housing?

I blame it all on god.
If he hadn't whispered into Phoney's ear there would have been no need for that war on terror and everybody in need of social housing could practically have got a brand spanking new one.

Now wouldn't that have been more purposeful?
I'm sure Dubya's army could have gone and killed them hundreds of thousands of civilians off their own back.

just a thought like.
