O/T Theresa

Hahahaha.......Good ole Sid, don't let the facts get in the way of a typical Labour soundbite.

What he doesn't realise is that his own party knew to NEVER fall into the same trap that he did.

My favorite pastime .....fishing.....bait the hook and let him swallow it while I go off for a few hours.

Maggie and her Tory successors.....1979-1996......Council Housing/Local Housing Association/Registered Social landlords......913,690 homes

Bliar and his "soundbite crew".....1997-2008......... 290,750

Scores-on-the-doors.......Tarkers yawns as he reaches for the calculator......Maggie and Co = 50,761 per year, Bliar = 24,299 per year

Stunned silence, surely these figures are not correct?.....where did they come from?

Labour's own University of Nottingham educated, and current London Assembly Housing spokesman no less!!

Ouch....that stung.

ps Sid, if you want to discuss straight Council Houses next....I'm ready and willing......Maggie - 41,343 average......Bliar - 562......yes.....562 PER YEAR

Maggie built more Council houses in HER WORST YEAR 17,710...than liebour did in total, 7,870 in 13 years or, removing the Cameron changeover year, 6,510 in 12 years

While Labour has promised that it would double the rate of housebuilding by 2020 (equivalent to some 240,000 homes per year), one of its London Assembly members has argued that the party should "apologise" for its record on affordable housing.

Tom Copley, Labour's housing spokesman in the capital, said that Margaret Thatcher's government had built more council flats and houses in a single year than New Labour's managed in its entire period in office.
