  • If you're upset over this because you're genuinely going to struggle, then you should probably see what benefits you're entitled to. Chances are there's something you can claim.

    Hoever, I suspect most of the people who are upset are Daily Mail reading, £600,000 house living types, on a massive final salary pension, who are annoyed that this means they might have to sit in economy class when they fly to their fifth holiday of the year. And those people, can get bent.



  • If I remember correctly, the problem was the scheme explicitly forbade the council from building a replacement house.

    I think that was later changed, but by then the damage was done and the housing stock was decimated.

    I do think you should be able to buy a council house that you've been living in if you want, but at the full market rate of building another equivalent home, and it should be enforced that they do build another. If a council currently has no plans for building more, then tough titties, you'll have to go on a waiting list.
