All a big mistake imo?
Just like her deindustrialisation policy?

I know.... a series of mutually beneficial bilateral agreements would be better and WTO for everything else.

And it is a sore spot for me that our incompetent previous
governments should have allowed these things to come
to pass? But what is the point you are making??

I was under the impression you rather liked mrs thatcher. And since I yesterday came in the possession of the approx 6 inch bowl/saucer, I wondered if I could interest you. Just thinking.

Everything in a market is down to supply and demand. Creating the housing boom.increased both. But demand increased at a much faster rate in a very short time because profits could be had. People ended up mortgaging, remortgaging and building property empires on money that only existed because of the boom.. It was a completely crazy policy but made Thatcher popular which was the whole point. Immigrants are living five to a room so hard to understand the pressure from them. There is a massive buy to let time bomb ticking.

We run a deficit with eu of approx 80 billion and have to pay

Do you consider this a benefit?
Regards Donkeyman!
You have to measure the economic costs and benefits rather than looking at the cash position.

This holds true to this day
Regards Donkeyman!
Selling council houses below market value is not the reason we have a shortage of affordable property on the market. It took ongoing maintenance costs off the hands of the councils and there was a move to housing associations taking over social housing. Or pushing people to rent from private landlords using housing benefits. Passing the buck to non state organisations that have less interest in welfare and an eye of the bottom line. So a boom.in buy to lets also fueled by government policy. Basically shot themselves in the foot with that.
