Prove I'm wrong.

It’s in the post above.

You’re such a petulant child lol

MIRAS? I didn't mention when it came in? How can I be wrong for something I never said?

 

[Notch7]

And how do you think MIRAS effected anything ?

Oh look Gas answers his own question

That was the ability of two single people to claim it and a married couple

making what people could claim easier

 

[denso13]

I think the TOTs have given up for the night.

no mr half wit you said from 1983 when it was introduced are you struggling with that and not intelligent enough to realise it had been in for over 100 years

 

[Notch7]

Which is completely different from the original comment of thatcher caused it by introduction of Miras

I never said that

I said it was one of a number of factors…which is indisputably true.

MIRAS was introduced in 1983

There is no need to get angry, it’s not my fault you are wrong

 

[Notch7]

Buying council houses since the 30`s

There is a fundamental difference

Thatcher stopped councils building more council houses.

Council houses were a stabilising factor to the housing market, they dampened the control by the private sector to profit from it

Without council houses, lots of working people are forced into expensive private rentals

 

[Notch7]

and you havent put any figures up to discredit it despite putting a link up that proved council houses were sold long before thatcher
And i see your using the word discount thus admitting there was a discount to be had

Gas making himself look silly again

Let’s look the facts instead gas spouting nonsense.

Here we go:

“Sales of local authority housing prior to the Housing Act 1980 were relatively limited. Between 1957 and 1960, 16,000 council houses were sold in England. The 1980 act led to a surge in sales. Over 100,000 properties were sold for each of the first three full financial years following the passing of the act”

i see you have not got a clue that people could claim the equivalent tax relief for well over 100 years miras just mad it easier and at source

so another one who agrees council houses were being sold well before thatcher ,,,,,glad your helping clear that up

Yes I’ve cleared it up, the details matter

Poor gas digging an ever deeper hole for himself

Before Thatcher: very few were sold
Thatcher was the cause of 1.5 million being sold

As a plumber I’m surprised you don’t understand numbers.

Do you not know 16,000 is less than 1.5 million

so yet again someone agreeing council houses were sold pre thatcher and over 5000 sold in 1956 not long after the war when people were skint suggests it was quite a popular option
