Let’s sell off all the council houses, then build thousands of box units for oligarchs in Hong Kong, Saudi and Moscow to buy up as investments. Yay, capitalism!
How about we build loads of apartments & fill them with foreighners & let the tax payers fund it instead ? That's what your marvellous mayor is doing because his tribe live too far from all the mosques we're building courtesy of the tax payers. Saudis own very few properties but the Hong Kong (British) are buying them because we decolonised their home & gave it back to China. All those disgusting yellow peeps bringing their money here & contributing to the capital eh ?
Rents would be much cheaper if we had a properly regulated private rental sector. That was never going to happen with the likes of Grant Schapps in government (he owns 40 former Council flats in Westminster). Let’s see what happens now.
Clarkes aren’t made in Northampton anymore, all outsourced to Bangladesh etc. That’s the free market for you.
