We pay councils to buy a load of houses. They put shit families in (for the most part - yes, yes, I know, seventeen people in British council houses actually work hard for a living instead of eating pizzas and knocking out ASBO kids) and then charge them 10 pence a week rent. Not that I like buy to let landlords; they fill houses up with druggies and scum, and the neighborhood gets run down. But they are both Buy to Lets; and one gets hit - as it should be - while the other is there to help those who can't help themselves; like the lazy bastards on the dole. Think about this, fellow workers... Most dole scum, according to recent government figures, own a plasma screen television. Do you? I suppose council housing won’t be included in the ‘buy to let’ definition.
