The Land "Reform" act which did away with Right To Buy in Scotland. All that was needed was to obligate councils to build. The SNP's prevention of council house tenants having the option of buying their own home is disgraceful. abolishing the disgracefull right to buy was and remains one of the snp most popular policies. There's nothing wrong with right to buy. It helped keep house prices in line with wages for two decades. Councils not being obligated to build / buy replacement stock is a problem. Abolish the SNP's disgusting policy and obligate councils to build / buy replacements. |

It was a disasterous decision by thatcher that badly impacted housing acorss the uk , and of course while it enriched very many baby boomers , our children and grandchildren are now paying the price for it.
The whole point of devolution vinny , wether you agree with it or not , is to do things differnt from england we dont agree with.
Majority of scots backed devolution , and the vast majority backed ending right to buy. You need to accept democracy when it happens ,especially when it happens in neighbouring countires.

As I say, councils were not obligated to build or buy replacement stock, they used the money to reduce their deficits.
That was the problem with it, not the idea of letting the public buy their own homes from the councils, that bit of the idea was great. It also added to supply and slowed house price inflation until the 2000s.

Hold new polls showing that the majority of Scots want right to buy, and then bring it back. Easy enough to do with leading questions.

Vinny you just cant accept the scottish and english are differing peoples , in differing countires with differing political views. We see that clearly in political terms such as england votes tory two thirds of the time , scotland hasnt vote tory for nearly three quarters of a century , and even then it was the old scottish party.
Things like having massive differences of opinion on right to buy , thatcherism in general , and of course famously most recently the european union.
We dont agree with your right wing views. You have your chance every election , and scotland says no thanks vinny , we dont agree with you.

The tories support right to buy , and they lose every single election. I mean we had an election in scotland last year , the tories lost coming third , with their vote share down 6 %.
The year before , they lost again for holyrood. Scotland says no vinny. No to right wing tories and the political pish they come out with.

They didn't lose those elections on the basis of right to buy.
They lost those elections because of SNP and Labour lies about the NHS and privatisation.

If people wanted right to buy , they could vote tory among other reasons. The scottish public didnt .

Which does not say much for the Scottish people.
I, and a lot of English folk like me, bought my council house not for any financial advantage (which did not exist), but for the simple delight in telling officialdom that it could kiss my arse.
If the SNP's policy is independence for Scotland and the need for every Scot to kiss the Housing Department's fundament, well, as you say Tommy, things are different north of the border, but I am not sure how different

Exactly. One of the peculiarities of the voting system is that a party most people do not want, can get the most seats and then imagine itself to be a lot more popular than it actually is, despite most people voting against it.
Most people do not have a love of any party at all.
Down with the Scottish Nazi Party.
Abolish their policies.
Reinstate right to buy.

I think the worst thing about the SNP is the twat in Cardiff Bay worships the air their leaders fart and instantly follows their every move with a similar measure in the welsh fiefdom which they then use the fact they’ll never be ousted by anything short of actual civil war to implement to an even more extreme degree than the scottish poison dwarf does north of the border
If you want evidence just go see what the twat did under Covid and our up and coming fiefdom wide abandonment of roadbuilding and imposition of a 20 mph limit.

As our so-called King picks up carrier bags of cash from the real King, I am getting the feeling the SNP will be getting another leader chosen for them with a globalist agenda just like the last one.

I mind you posting similar guff on the old site , and it was similarly debunked by myself and morayloon. The snp are nazis is up there with monmouth is english in the airy fairy world of brit nat fantasy.
This is important because Donaldson – though a fringe figure in the 1940s – was to go on to become leader of the SNP decades later. So was he really a Nazi sympathiser? Well, not according to historians.
Richard Finlay, professor of history at Strathclyde University, has gone through Donaldson’s private papers. There was no evidence, he said, of Donaldson having any affinity to fascism. Either in his own documents or Nazi archives.
Claims to the contrary, Mr Finlay, told The Herald’s sister paper The National, were a complete and utter myth. The M15 source, he added, was telling his handlers what they wanted to hear.
Yet type Donaldson’s name into Twitter and you will discover armies of people who think he – and sometimes the entire SNP – were plotting with the Nazis. Indeed, the made-up social media story mirrors that of the real Ramsay. But it is fake history.
Saying Donaldson was a Nazi has become a rite of passage for the most zealous unionists. I doubt many believe it to be true: for them, reality does not matter; this is just trolling.
If you ever get the chance , read Tim Bouveries "Appeasing hitler" book . He talks of the events leading up to the start of the second world war , from war office records , showing the british monarchy and many of the british political class and establishment were extremely pro nazi and anti communist in the thirties .
Its laughable though on these predominantly english membership political sites where the snp are all things to all men , they can be communists to tartan tories , nazis to evil socialists who want to turn scotland into venezuela. 
It doesnt matter how contradictory the stance , any old shit that sticks will do.
