Great article in Daily Mirror today 5th March.

Reveals that about a third of council homes sold to tenants under the right to buy are now owned by private landlords...and that Charles Gow, the son of a Tory Housing Minister involved in the privatisation under Thatcher, now owns at leat 40 ex-council flats just on one South London council estate.

...You flog off a public asset under the flag of creating a 'property owning democracy'...and the 'normal' process of capital accumulation just asserts itself all over again...
