Right to Buy 2.0 by David Davis and Frank Field January 2012
This briefing written by Frank Field and David Davis is a poor and ill considered response to the crying need for housing in this small country of ours, England. Scotland and Wales have their own solutions. England deserves better than this mean spirited and narrow minded set of suggested policies to the lack of housing for those unable to afford to buy a house.
My strongest criticism of the briefing is that it lacks objectivity, it does not start from a level playing field, it is written from a point of view that takes several right wing prejudices as gospel and then attempts to find a solution to the housing problem based on these prejudices.
