The councils selling the family silver to pay bills - BBC News

Cash-strapped local authorities are selling off land, buildings and antiques to clear their debts.

After reading this, I think it has all designed to steal from the public

The more they sell, the less they are able to raise from income, rinse repeat.
If they are going to sell maybe locals should have a chance to buy.

The government has done it since the 80s... hence the **** show that we are in now, this is minor compared to all the countries assests that's been sold.
Also if we had kept those assests, maybe the governement could fund local councils correctly.

Funny how people are too lazy in this country to do anything about it. Why many are starting to jump ship.

I was reading today the government wants to increase the amount people put into their pensions.
I guess they are thinking we get people to put more away, it would make it less expensive in the future or even do away with state pension altogether.
