"Just do the math!"

The problem here is that the "math" (wot no 's'? It's mathamatics) doesn't reflect reality in terms of the practicalities for people in everyday life. The fact people are going to be expected to move house every time a child leaves home or a spouse dies means they will never feel safe and secure in their home, and this is about as basic a right in a developed society as is possible.

As for suggestions that don't disadvantage anybody . . . since when has that been a tory concern? After Thatcher started the ball rolling politicians (admittedly of the right-wing ilk such as the tories and Blair) have sold off our social housing stock over the years, and now is the time to start rebuilding again on brownfield sites. There's no point in saying this can't happen due to lack of funds, because in the town where I live we're trying to stop the tory-led council building new homes on the greenbelt when there is plenty of brownfield acreage sat doing nowt, so there are houses being planned and built.


"And once again......THIS GOVERNMENT IS A COALITION!"

Change the record, please. Does no-one take any responsibility for their actions these days? The LibDumbs are an irrelevance to voters and a pain in the arse to Cam and his merry band of toffs.
