There is nothing greedy about people wanting to own thier own homes; I'd take a stab in the dark that you do yourself ? Does that make you a "greedy Thatcherite" ??
Yes I own my house, thats because there was no alternative and I am fortunate to be able to afford it, however I dont believe that the answer to the housing shortage was to sell all the council stock and do away with the only means that working class people had of putting a roof over their families heads at a reasonable rent. So whats the answer then Cleverleaf ? answer my previous post without posing a question
