Staunton   18 #1 Posted May 18, 2017 We can now discern the penultimate instalment of the conservatives' Right to Buy project for public sector housing. Ordinary people were encouraged to gain property so that they have something that can be taken from them, an investment they can be relieved of!  The tories do not want the families of ordinary people inheriting property, prospering, becoming mortgage free. They want ordinary people to have just sufficient by way of assets to cover the social care bills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Staunton   18 #6 Posted May 19, 2017 So you are blaming the Tories for people being stupid with their money?  Ordinary people don't have any money. This is due to the precarious, low-wage economy carefully structured by the tory party, a project that was initiated in 1979 when they commenced their class war.

There are not enough council houses being built, for people to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
