The following is a debate on Facebook with a “hater” who chose to troll our advertising. Ordinarily, I would simply have blocked this person and deleted his comments, but on this occasion, I decided to respond.
My comments are posted in text whereas his are screenshots.
My response …
Phil Barnett good old Maggie also completely reformed the Housing and Tenant Act to create mobility for workers. She would be turning in her grave if she was aware of your comments or the legislation being introduced to overturn that vision.
Even Tony Blair understood and supported a strong private rented sector, where competition was rife and people had the choice to own or to rent quality housing to suit their needs.
Be careful what you wish for, because if you get your way there will be millions of people living in ludicrously expensive, Government funded temporary accommodation at the tax payers expense.
His reply …
My retort …
The simplest way to solve the housing crisis is to incentivize more development and investment. Prices fall and quality rises when supply exceeds demand.
After having my bit of fun I then blocked him and deleted his comments from our advertisement.

Indeed, the person who trolled our advertisement is only interested in being able to buy a cheap house. Clearly, he doesn’t give a damn about all the people who want/need to rent and will find themselves homeless.

I think it’s not just a case of be careful what you wish for but also of be careful what you vote for. Sadly at the moment the task at the ballot box appears to be that of deciding which of them is going to do the least damage….
