Maggie was all for emancipating the working class. Thousands of self
owned ex-council houses are tribute to that. Blair enslaved them again.

For every middle-aged couple doing nicely out of selling their council
houses to by-to-let landlords there is a young family struggling in
private rented accommodation because there is no social housing, or rent
control. And don't tell me it is because of 'immigrants' because that
is a lie.

I doubt if anybody has said it is *solely* due to immigration, just that
that is one of the main causes. Personally I don't see how you can let
the population increase by several millions without creating a shortage
of dwellings, unless you build far more than we have done. Is that
really a lie?
