Thatcher on Council Housing
‘council estates bring together people who are out of work but enjoy security of tenure at subsidized rents. They not only have every incentive to stay where they are: they mutually reinforce each other’s passivity and undermine each other’s initiative. Thus a culture grows up in which the unemployed are content to remain living mainly on the state with little will to move and find work’.

Thatcher on Privatisation
‘Privatisation was fundamental to improving Britain’s economic performance. But for me, it was far more than that: it was about reversing the corrupting and corrosive effects of socialism. Privatisation is at the heart of any programme of reclaiming territory for freedom’.
