| The 2008 financial crash was the result of US banks and mortgage lenders' poor practices which triggered a GLOBAL CRISIS and not Blair and Brown just happening to be in Govt at the time. There are polar opposite knowledgeable opinions to yours. Govt borrowing is not the same as household borrowing. It is Govt rules and regulations which made it difficult to build social housing. There are huge lists of public buildings that the Tories sold off. Did that money go into social housing? No - because they don't believe in it. You should ask why. Outsourcing and privatising to save costs can easily increase the problems with maintenance when there is nobody or fewer people in a position with the knowledge and experience to oversee and check when work needs to be done - and to check that it is done properly. |
