What's wrong with that? Introducing nationally the right to buy council housing was perhaps the most popular policy of Thatcher, and one which I think is quite liberal.

What was liberal about preventing local authorities replacing the housing so sold? What was liberal in the economic sense about taking tax money used to create affordable housing and make a gift of it to others to make that housing unaffordable as it turns out?

Of course if you read the rest of my blog you'll find I'm Lockean in my liberal view of land (real property) as common wealth anyway...so I'm bound to oppose enclosure"...:)"
