Was she really trying to assign some blame on Corbyn for the shooting there?

They're still working with IER, so don't be surprised if the next manifesto contains even more stuff to benefit workers.

 

This is really nothing to be feared.

That is a think tank for the Labour movement agreeing with more power for unions. No problem with lots of the other stuff.

Thats it blame the left

And gives the unions/labour central control of an industry that could be used as a political weapon. The 70's.

 

 

"Ah cough; splutter'  

 

The 70s was a decade where most people could afford to buy their own homes It was also on the main a decade of job security.

 

It had its faults but on the whole it was not a decade of food banks, derelict high streets and thousands of rough sleepers made homeless by the system.that used to form a little protection.

 

I'd take a couple of disruptive days and a few  union strikes  than the shitfest  served up across the land right now.

If that's the case, why were levels of home ownership lower in the 1970s than now?

You are once again using warped statistics to add two plus two and arrive at five.

I'm just asking you to explain why the situation is the opposite to what you would expect if what you were claiming was true.

[TheHowieLama]

Stronts -- you are the one claiming it is not true.

Not sure about the UK but in the States the last few years have been exactly what the 70's were. The only real spike came in early 2000 housing boom which corrected by 08-09 - to be honest it is not realistic to expect more than 2 in 3 to own homes in any market conditions.

 

The flip side  is a mortgage was about 8.5 percent then, now less than half

If we go back to the 70's and any of you think you can walk around with mullet hairstyles : send me all of your console games then delete your accounts.

He's the one making a claim, that most people could afford houses in the 1970s. The implication being that houses are less affordable now.

 

In which case it's reasonable to ask why levels of home ownership are that much higher now than they were in the 1970s.

Well I'm going on the imo reasonable basis that in the 70s to buy a house you would need to be in reasonable employment and it would be worked out at  approx 3x your income whilst now you would need to be a nuclear scientist with very wealthy parents to afford a one bedroom flat in wankfest like Wigan.

[TheHowieLama]

That was my comment -- unless the UK is massively different, home ownership will be about the same (64-65% for the States for the last few years and most of the 70's as well).

[Gnasher]

I do like to provide links. Not that any cunt reads them mind

Half the site was probably walking around with a semi permed mullet in the early to mid 80s.
