We have become accustomed to being everyone's football of late and equally accustomed to batting away the homespun wisdom, with facts not political or personal motivation.

So you want take rental properties back into council ownership? Between 1980 and 1989, 970,558 council houses nationally were sold at a discount. A Labour policy introduced by Tories. There is a raving socalist local to us, who bought and sold his council house (at profit) and moved into rented accommodation, so he could buy himself a 100k motorhome.

So you want to blame landlords for now owning ex council houses? How about the ex tenants who cashed their chips in and the parties that you statistically speaking voted for?
