An incompetent council waisting money on an unnecessary home. Nothing new there.
Mind you, something tells me that they perhaps should have looked harder for a more appropriate home. Do you think they may have been trying to make a point, at the the expense of the taxpayer?

Nonsense, it was the Thatcher government's decision to prevent local authorities from spending the receipts, from housing sales, to build more housing stock.

How would you have fared if you were paid only four pounds an hour? As much as the minimum wage is not a lot for someone of your age (or any other age for that matter), at least there is actually a minimum wage.

It is that comment that is nonsense.
First of all, the council houses that were sold had families living in them. So the number of Council houses would go down by x houses, but the number of families that the Council were responsible for, would go down by the
same number.
Secondly, no matter how many Council houses were built, this family would
not be housed in any of them, because of the size and make-up(ages of children) of the family.
