We must not forget that Labour started the stupid idea of selling off social housing.
And labour's idea of building replacement stock has an abysmal record.
The official data shows that the Blair and Brown governments built 7,870 council houses (local authority tenure) over the course of 13 years. (If we don't include 2010 - the year when David Cameron became PM - this number drops to 6,510.) Whereas the Blessed Maggie never built fewer than 17,710 homes in a year.

Seems the years of Labour misrule, and unfettered immigration, created the shambles we now find ourselves in.


To blame it all on corruption and poor planning is risible even by the standards of our well educated scientist who knows nothing.
