There are some post war houses in this village (and many others in the [LIFTED]) that were built with a shelf life of 15 years. Terrible construction and the cost of updating them with insulation and glazing would have cost the council had many of them not been sold under the RTB.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'm dying to know what that is, because I can't for the life of me think of a rude word that fits in that context. Jon

I would say the same about all the penises that kept voting labour over the last decade.

Same goes for the other parties too. And even worse, those peni that couldn't be bothered to even vote at all.

I think this attitude is part of the problem: clickyNo sh!t. We were in our 30's when we got our house, when I was younger the only people I ever knew who had their own house had been bought them by their parents. FFS.

This may be true, but the funds raised simply weren't ploughed back into building and maintaining further social housing stock. This is the problem now. There aren't enough council houses available, and people can't afford to rent privately or buy their own home, and hardly anyone is actually building social housing any more.
