" "Right to buy scheme" illustrated the unpalatable truth that the "liberal left" are in the main hypocrites."
The Right to Buy Scheme was the greatest of Thatchers cons
It undermined affordable rented housing in Britain, took rented property off the market and placed it in private hands and brought about s speculation flurry that sent the entire property market crashing.
It was based on the con that people, by turning their homes into commodities, could become part of investment capitalism - utter crap.
One of the greatest scandals concerning this scheme was when Lady Porter moved tenants out of their homes in the pretence that they were to be "modernised", but in fact, it was to put them on the open market to move potential Tory voters into Westminster.
What Porter failed to mention was that the temporary homes the tenants were forced into were riddled with cancer-causing asbestos
HOMES for VOTES SCANDAL
Porter was forced to resign and eventually fled to Israel, owing Britain millions in unpaid fines for her murderously criminal behaviour
Capitalism at its very lowest
