If the government were to introduce a Right to Buy Scheme
for private rented property, and set discounts of up to £75,000 how many people
would think that fair? So why do they not object to houses they jointly own
through their local authorities being subjected to just such a scheme?
How many people think it fair that someone who has never
paid any rent, has had their rent paid by benefits, can now buy the house they
were allocated in front of others because they were in greater need at a
discount of up to £75,000?
How many people think it right that someone who has never
paid a penny in tax in this country can buy the house they were allocated to
meet their need can be bought with up to £75,000 discount?
The Tory Government is giving thousands away for rich people
to put down a deposit on houses they are purchasing. There is no question of
the home owners being expected to fund these discounts, so why should you,
through your council?
