yes but this bit and I quote you

"""""""""""I also agree there should be more investment in council housing, housing is another area in crisis allowing greedy private landlords to profit from others' misery but I do support people being able to buy their own homes and give them a chance at home ownership they might otherwise not have had - it gives people hope and something to aspire to."""""" unquote

is taking the hope away from others - if they want to own so badly - go and do it in the private sector like everyone else. council stock for people that need it. if you want to own - do it like everyone else has to.
