It was Maggie and co that forced an end to tied

Sheer, biased, blinkered, knee-jerk, nonsense.
The tied cottage was being "phased out" (pilloried as a

S'funny, that.
Had the tied cottages remained in their original use,
there'd be less need for hand-wringing over the housing
fate of agricultural workers, wouldn't there?

I didn't say it wasn't on the way out, I merely made the
point that Thatcher forced it to end. A subtle but
distinct difference that is obviously lost on you.

The more so because it was a lie.

So it wasn't a Thatcher government the introduced the
"Right to Buy" legislation then?

No.

tautology), the RTB:

driven by ideology or dogma but are cpable of establishing the facts for
themselves and making up their own minds.

(a) was introduced under the Edward Heath government of
1970-1974,

Wrong (again)
"The statutory Right To Buy was introduced on the 3rd October 1980 in
England, Wales and Scotland."

certainly not to tied cottages on farms.

Your evidence is from?
