Just because you declare yourself to be socially irresponsible, doesn't necessarily mean that those of us with a social conscience are envious of you.

Us? So voting to privatise the NHS shows a social conscience now?

On that I remain to be convinced, especially as your account was created round about the same time as Robinson's last post on here

Coincidence?

Possibly but I remain doubtful

The whole ideology behind Thatcher's "right to buy" was to create a nation of wage and mortgage slaves. The current incumbents are perpetuating the philosophy, as did Noooooo Labour before them (so don't accuse Blair of being a socialist)

At least the slavery has a limited time span - 25 years - unlike rent which never ends. Usually - not always - over time the mortgage repayments become a lesser amount of normal out goings unlike rent which must keep pace with inflation.

Who is going to support all these people in rented accommodation in retirement when their income is reduced to a point where they can no longer afford the rent? At least with a mortgage there will be no such liability?

A situation that was entirely a result of "Right to Buy" and the subsequent failure to continue with council house building.

I don't agree with that - owning your own home has always been an aspirational thing - I bet you haven't always rented!!

If you rent you will pay until you die and have no assets to show for your money at least if you buy a house you have an asset at the end of the mortgage, that situation didn't suddenly change with Maggie.

Repeating it three times doesn't make your argument any stronger
