no the sell off council housing did no bloody good at all.
what you mean is a handful of people benefited to the detriment of 100,000s.
it was social engineering by a determined woman who had no idea what she was doing except a fixed belief that she knew better.
the centre of London had a huge social housing stock from Mayfair to Kensington , Chelsea , Westminster etc etc. Places like the "infamous" Dolphin Square which was run by a housing association up to the 90s.
Most of it gone : that is the deliberate moving of "working class" people to the outskirts with all the problems that comes with ghettos and of course - that £21B ridiculous bill every year that channels taxpayer funds into private hands.
By contrast New York State has religiously maintained it's social housing so that 10,000s of people still live in rent controlled apartments on 5th Avenue or Greenwich Village or Uptown amongst mega millionaires. There is more council housing in NY than there has ever been in London.
New York various governors have all accepted that a liveable city must have a huge mix of people of all economic levels and it's why New York is still the most exciting city int he world.
## The USA spends less than the UK on subsidised rents but builds more social housing in 5 years than the UK has built in 20.
### Maggie was possibly mad but Blair is most certainly and has been far more vicious than Thatcher. 
Plenty of Housing Association stuff about,and building more...only my way the Eastern European immigrants get them before most of the locals...'nuff said 
Shush Pattaya as ITK will call you a racist and state they are entitled to free money unlike the British who are scroungers.
Ahhhhhhh...very easy to slide back into politics 
Are we going for this coffee?...Don't invite ITK...he'll steal the sugar sachets... 
Meet me outside the Jobcentre about 12.45 Pattaya.
