True but only if you address the issue that there is not any housing out there and what there is, is prohibitively expensive for most people. So what the, prime minister, is suggesting is taking away council housing from people on the assumption that they will be able to. ?enter the private sector.? How? Is someone who has needed a council house suddenly going to have a few hundred K in their pocket to buy a house? Or are they going to be moved out and forced to rent privately where they will have an exploitative agreement, no security of tenure and no ownership over what by rights should be their home? Doubt he gives a toss. Oh but wait in 5 years time the economy is going to be booming, all the people who now do socially useless jobs are going to be gainfully employed by the banks (god bless their magnanimity) and people will be so socially mobile they will end up in the gutter without even noticing.
