That's always been my argument, but whenever genuinely Socialist policies like this are proposed, the billionaires who control the media scream bloody murder and rightards like you lap it up and claim that Labour is Communist. So like turkeys voting...

Just checked, Pepys started his diary two years later (but had major surgery in 1658 to remove bladder stones - that would have been great if I'd known it!). I was right about Cromwell dying and his son taking over that year (his son was Richard)...

Listen to yourself. There are plenty of examples of local councils going into partnerships with private developers. Gateshead and Tesco redeveloped a shit hole town centre arresting its decline and maintaining it as just an average shit hole....
