Well, they say Government policies always go full circle, in the end.
I'm not really sure Gordon Brown would have liked to be the Labour Prime Minister who had to propose that people could sell their privately owned houses back to the council, for a huge loss, and then rent them back, in a complete and utter reversal of Maggie Thatcher's "right to buy" policy of the 1980s, mind you.
"Something dramatic" is going to happen in world affairs in the next few weeks. You mark my words. Whenever a major world leader is stuck knee-deep in a trench like this, recently, "something" seems to happen to distract attention (and highlight the leader's personal qualities).
Maybe Argentina will invade the Falklands again while we're not looking. Mind you, with property prices like they are, we'll probably let them have them, then charge them rent.
