Home Truths

A friend maintains that property speculation is unChristian and unsocialist.I agree with the latter but un Christian? Property he argues is a necessity and essential and should not be used as currency for profiteers.What about food? Nothing is more essential yet we are happy enough for Tesco to make huge profits and provide us with a service.I think as a non property owner he may be suffering from sour grapes syndrome. There is nothing sacred about bricks and mortar which mustn't be tainted by the corrupting influence of capitalism.Property ownership is not a divine right.It is subject to market principles.The alternative has been tested to destruction.An Englishman's home is not his councils -thank God.
