It is all about Thatcher as she is in many ways responsible for many of the problems we now have in the country today. Two examples being as follows:-

Unions restricted in fighting for better pay and conditions for their members as a result of anti trade union laws which Labour to their shame never reversed when in power under Tory Tony.

Allowing people to buy Council properties at a low price a few years ago which are now, years later being sold at massive profits which has led to a massive house building programme of 4/5/6 bedroom houses at the expense of building lower affordable properties and no building of single story properties like bungalows for the disabled and increasing number of elderly people as there is less profit for the builders and less council tax for councils which are now run as a business.

If there is national shortage of housing, surely most of the building should be concentrated on building more affordable properties based on needs and not on big profits if the problem is to be solved, especially with an ever increasing population.
