Thatcher sold them did not replace them now we do not have them. It really not that hard to grasp surely? See now I am salty damn it haha

Could also tie it all together with my previous point about privatisation because after all the council houses were sold up popped Private Housing Associations instead of the home own money generating council stock

Where have all the coal mines gone. And seeing as I come from a mining area I have seen this first hand . Think that counts too? plus a hell of the lot of the economy is run of things she put in place. Steal industry Iron foundries ship building car manufacture . But no we are not still paying the price 35 years later

It wasn't just the fact she sold them off, its the fact she put laws and restrictions in place to stop new ones being built with the proceeds, her utilities sell off has led us to where we are now, sky high bills, companies loaded with debt and little investment, Norway has a huge sovereign wealth fund benefitting its people with the proceeds of North Sea oil, who benefitted from our north sea oil and we will be paying the price for her policies forever not just 35 years after because the damage done can't simply be undone, it took decades to get the right to buy money freed up and used in communities for instance
