Nationalise, regulate or laissez-faire?

You are much older than I imagined you to be. Free dental care went in 1951.

Not a single dentist in the whole of the Blackpool area is taking on NHS ?

We still have those that are highlighted, unless things changed in the last few seconds

University fees....social housing was sold off under Thatcher and were still struggling to replace them now... Convalescent,old peoples homes...you've heard of privatisation I'm guessing ?

What @Adam4868 saying is apart from the three you highlighted, we also had free NHS dentist AND free education AND free eye tests AS WELL AS owning the Royal Mail, energy, rail, water ALONG WITH social housing AND EU membership (plus its benefits) AND old people's homes.

We had ALL of them until the late 80's/early 90's, EU going 6 years ago.

and your blaming that on leaving the EU are you, like you blame it for everything else???

Council Housing was sold under thatcher.........through the right to buy scheme, not everyone had the right and even labour members who opposed the sell off, even bought there own council houses under the scheme

I didn’t say that. Read it again.

Which banned councils from replacing them.

i didnt say you did, which is why a put a question mark at the end of the sentence......asking you a question

again wrong...they were barred from borrowing money to replace them

You did. You immediately jumped on the blaming the EU argument. Not even worthy of a question. If you’d read the post properly, you would’ve seen that.

View attachment 1946

They were banned from using the money raised by house sales to build new council houses to replace the ones sold.

you didnt read my post properly......so it goes both ways

and yes they were barred from using the money from sales to build new....reason being, they were selling them, to use the money to maintain the rest, because that was the policy they agreed too. otherwise what was the point in selling them, other than to raise capital for maintaining existing stock.....FFS

Is that not what I said ?

well in a way no....its all according if the council was a registered social landlord or a council...........

Then they sold council houses and not social houses, so only partly correct in your post. but thats just me knit picking, the same as everyone else on every post.

Can i be arsed with your knit picking....
"Houses and flats built for public or social housing use are built by or for local authorities and known as council houses, though since the 1980s the role of non-profit housing associations became more important and subsequently the term "social housing" became more widely used, as technically council housing only"

That does not change the fact that NHS dentistry is not free.
