Thread Name: BS: Labour wants to confiscate property
Subject: RE: BS: Labour wants to confiscate property
Sen - back in the early 80s I was studying a Humanities based degree called something like "Concepts of Belief & Ideology / Ideas & Society"

Thatcher was our generation's enemy, and her policies were biting hard.
On my home council estate factory workers were bribed to buy their homes at a very low discount - we could tell which, because they replaced their front doors and / or paited them any colour they liked to express individuality and ownership.
Then within a couple of years the factory was allowed to go into administration,
and all these new mortgage holders found themselves suddenly redundant and unable to keep up payments...

Wonder who snapped up multiple cheap houses on the estate at auction....????

Anyway, back then we still differentiated betweeen new ruthless greedy amoral thatcherites,
and what seemed in comparison like a 'golden age' of old fashioned christian philanthropic Conservatives...

... just saying...

I believe you are the compassionate kind of conservative,
with the potential to be convinced one day to at least vote Liberal or Green, if not Labour...???
