Tory plot to rob working class of housing

TORY plans to sell off Britain’s remaining social housing will mean “theft from the working class,” the Communist Party warned yesterday.

David Cameron’s extremist bid to force housing associations to flog stock at massive discounts would spell the end of affordable housing in city centres and see working people crowded into flat and room-shares reminiscent of 19th-century slums, the party’s political committee heard.

Morning Star acting editor Ben Chacko said the Conservative manifesto was a declaration of class war which would strip workers of the right to strike.

“The best evidence that a Labour victory in May is worth fighting for is the panic the prospect clearly causes the Establishment,” he said, pointing to ever-more desperate attacks on Labour leader Ed Miliband’s private life and character.

Mr Miliband’s periodic departures from the neoliberal new Labour script were modest, but enough to tell the ruling class “they can’t rely on him” — prompting a deluge of crude propaganda, he added.
