By "social housing", jake, do you mean housing that is constructed at a cost to taxpayers and provided at unrealistically low rents, or more usually no charge to predominantly non-taxpayers?
Sounds like a good deal to me. Just the thing hard-pressed families struggling to pay their mortgage would like to see their increasing tax and NI spent on.
Wonder if, having paid for them, I'll be allowed to have one of these "Social Houses"? (Answers on a postcard, please).
