Or scrap the Stalinist Town & Country Planning act. Thatcher
reinforced this act. Why? To keep house price high to appeal to
owner/occupiers to gain votes, while the country as whole suffered. The
state of the nation was throw out of the window.

The knock-on was that debt after debt was poured into land which
resulted in the Credit Crunch - a collapse.

Thatcher was a fan of Uncle Joe? I don't think so.

Get the point...."the Stalinist Town & Country Planning act. Thatcher
reinforced this act." Read it again.
