goldfinger16 : Right to Buy proceeds from sales, accruing to Local Government, was, by Central Government diktat, not allowed to be used to replace the sold Housing Stock.
This became the driver for smaller and smaller "Fair Rent" housing availability; not to forget the drive of Buy to Let.

"The price of all property has gone up"

No it hasn't.

In my area a 3 bedroom detached was selling for £160k 15 years ago, however they're now going for £130k.

That's thrown a spanner in the works..........

The problem with Right To Buy is that it depletes the social housing stock if you don't replace the numbers bought with the same number built. That is why so much social housing is now needed.

bbalanjones..it's called market forces, the price of all property has gone up.

I agree that some Capitalism is bad, some good, privatisation of the Rail and Utilities bad.

But right to buy wasn't a bad thing, it improved many people's lives. What would you prefer give it away to the people and then steal it back like Putin and the Oligarchs.

Gove doing what he does best...

Maggie emphasised the "Con" in Conservative. Harold MacMillan, former Conservative PM got it about right with his accuasation that 'Privatisation' was akin to "selling the Family Silver"

Oh ,and "Right to Buy" ? £800k exCouncil Flats in London?

the MP's cannot stop a No deal Brexit..it is an automatic default position.

the more they whinge and whine the more support for them from ordinary citizens, who echo what Farage has said about Police response,continues to ebb away.

Soubry biz was alo headline news on Radio 4 World at One programme - 15 minutes of it. And although it's still headliner on BBC Online News, it's only Nr.10 on most read. A bit of a disconnect there between what the beeb consider to be top news and what the public want to know about.

Loved Thatcher.

LEAVE and WTO

cm44 - if you look at the share price graph since last spring there is a repeating pattern of lower highs and lower lows. The price picks up, but never to the level of the previous high, and then falls back to lower than the previous low. I could do with picking up a few more and was holding out for 50p which never really came!

Thank you! Please delete that post because it leaves a bad taste in the public eyes! Have some respect and honour for Mrs T.

Meanwhile, back at Lloyds... looking at the graph, are we getting set up nicely for another drop?
