Adam Smith Institute. Extreme Thatcherites. That's like asking The Morning Star to comment impartially on Karl Marx.

I went to an estate agents.

So let's get this straight. A council tenant/s gets an opportunity to purchase the house they live in under Maggie Thatcher's Right to Buy scheme.

Then it was sold to somebody, then you or one or more people in between.

You complain about how awful it is that social housing was sold off by Thatcher, yet you live in former social housing. You couldn't make it up!

Ordinarily, you would never be able to afford to buy in Chislehurst otherwise.

Plus, due to market forces your property would have seen multiple increases in value from the day it became private to now, especially in an affluent area. No surprise there really, but I can't see you complaining.

If I was to buy your house, it would cost me a small fortune due to its location! So would you take the market price then? Or less? Good old market forces!

YOU have benefited from Thatcher's Right To Buy scheme and subsequent market forces.

So please don't complain about something then take advantage of it.

Market forces in the US dictate that there are a helluva lot of gunshops. Why Obama is trying to regulate this and stifle people's freedom smacks of a commie imo.

Comparing property price to guns. Nice one Kerm!

Funnily enough, the woman I bought it off didn't have a portfolio of houses or an offshore tax free bank account.


I see your point, but sometimes you have to do things against principle to get by.


The mortgage payments are about one third of what I was paying in rent. I made use of the key worker scheme to get a grant towards my mortgage. I would have been a fool not to.

Even so, I still feel it was wrong for the witch to sell off social housing and not replace it.
