thatcher did it here, sold millions of council houses off at what half price ? and i'm sure many who qualified for the maximum discount were pestered by banks to take or offered a loan they would not normally get.

a live near a council estate and the roofs are being replaced, and its obvious that those houses which had their roofs replaced are still owned by the council and those that didn't are now privately owned, looked to be about 50-50 !.

It seems the other way round down sarf. Those who own there own do them up way over any return they could get for them. The others the council rent back look like they could do with a thatcher or a roofer
