I was there, I followed it very closely.
I do not understand what point you are trying to make?

Perhaps you were a fan of Margaret Thatcher.
She sold off so many council houses, but where did the money go?

At the time, there were so many people living in council houses, who were basically quite wealthy.
So they bought their homes really cheap but Thatcher should have used the money to build more council houses.
Imo she was a nasty piece of work. She caused dreadful hardship and poverty in Wales and many other mining towns.
Her favourite saying was get on your bike and look for work elsewhere.
She destroyed so many communities. Sorry she was a bitch.

You had to be a tenant for 20 years to qualify for the 50% discount, so no not all of them were sold for 50% discount.

Thatcher was the best PM since Churchill, sorted out the unions that were crippling the country.
Northerners didn't think so because she closed all the loss making coal mines
