And and and....she made the weather worse.Thatcherite ideology at its worst, no thinking of the future just thinking about short term profit as per fucking usual
Plenty of "malice aforethought" imo. Dismantling the stock exchange "police" led to the mass exodus of building societies to banks, which then saw turbo-powered house price rises and the scourge of buy-to-let rogue landlords. The limit on mortgage borrowing of 3 times a.i. became history, the bubble kept growing fuelled by the infamous "light touch" blind eye by the govnt. The unprecedented mail bombing of bank customers including pro forma blank cheques, and then the inevitable financial meltdown...after 17 years of thatcherism the country was a husk, for most of us, North sea oil squandered on share-holders and tax-breaks for the rich, industry investment non-existent, apart from foreign carmakers who were bribed to the hilt. When the Mirror pension pot was emptied by maxwell, and turned the paper into a comic, it gave the thatcher-backing press an open-goal. They've never looked back, culminating in brexit, a country on it's arse, stuck with a self-perpetuating archaic fptp, a labour party with no voice, immigrants the new "unions", racism presented as "acceptable" FFS, political midgets taking part in a grotesque beauty parade to lead the country.
Bad though it is, the future is set to get much much darker for the vast majority.
Have a nice day, y'all......
I live in Bicester which is pretty much house building central. The town's probably due to double in size in 10 years, due to its great transport links.
The size of houses in new estates seems crazy. Many more 4 & 5 bedroom homes than necessary, as these have a greater margin for developers.
People have talked about realistic first houses being a 2 bed terrace. I can't remember the last new 2 bed terrace I've seen. It's all 3 story townhouses now.

For those who rent I often wonder if they don’t get on early the housing ladder will they ever buy if they don’t then they will have to factor that into when they retire of continued rental until they pop their clogs. That’s a lot of money to find in old age a month.

You can blame the developers. They are supposed to build a certain percentage of new affordable housing per development but find ways round this.
Plus, who will buy their 4 bed boxes if a 2 bed social house is next door?
So they don't bother.

Reminds me of Henning Wehn's definition of a mortgage. "A mortgage allows people who can't afford a property to drive up prices to a level, where people who otherwise could afford a property, can't either."The limit on mortgage borrowing of 3 times a.i. became history, the bubble kept growing fuelled by the infamous "light touch" blind eye by the govnt.

Let’s not mention the open doors immigration explosion under the Bellend party.
Are you confusing immigration with freedom of movement.

You do know the 3 day week was brought in by a Tory government under Edward Heath
I don't expect you do as you are not very bright

Yes he would. So no point engaging.
