Britain’s House Of Horrors
<p>No<strong>one can accuse the Government of being hasty.</strong> Decisions over the dangers of <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66770328" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">XL Bully dogs</a>, or the explosion of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/11/ban-on-single-use-vapes-in-uk-could-be-imminent" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">vaping among young people</a>, are dragged out for months or years before action is finally taken after lives are lost or damaged. Endless consultation is used as an excuse for dithering and delay. However, it does finally seem that on both issues, the government is about to shut the stable door.</p>
<p>When it comes to the housing market the horse has well and truly bolted. It is taking decades, a whole generation lost, before anything is done. In Britain’s case, large numbers of young people have been sacrificed on the altar of neo-liberalism. Even now, there is not even any sign of action.</p>
<p>It started with Margaret “milk-snatcher” Thatcher, when the great sell-off of council housing began back in 1979, with the “Right to Buy” policy. Of course, “The Right to Buy” was hugely popular among those who benefited, and a political master-stroke. Selling off flats and houses at substantial discounts bought votes, brazen bribery, gerrymandering by gentrification, stoking division on council estates that were once solid Labour-supporting areas.</p>
