What utter guff ! Thatcher wasn't responsible for the actions of money lenders & housing agencies making a quick Buck ? She wasn't selling the houses/Homes off it was their owners !
Even our arch Socialist/Laborite/Raging Red Mancie deemed the right to buy (all be it grudgingly as it was a Tory idea) a reasonable thing. No my friend your ire needs pointing at a different scapegoat, but as your leanings & tendencies appear to be of the red kind, this kind of "outburst" can be understood.
There are blinkered fools on all sides of the Political spectrum, be they Blue/Green/Red/Yellow or dayglo pink ! So don't feel singled out, it is just that those who receive the most grief are those who make the most outlandish & least well-thought-out comments
