Welcome to the
KBzine
I can’t remember a general election that has been so exciting and one in which so many parties included items in their manifestos that could have such an impact on our lives. So caught up in the events have I been, that I managed to fall asleep over my laptop last night while producing this week’s issue of KBzine, so I’ve had some catching up to do on both counts this morning!
I hope that now the election’s over, the markets will see some stability and that we can get back to the job of improving both our economy and the lot of the British people.
I don’t know how you feel about it but I’m really concerned about Cameron’s pledge to extend the ‘right to buy’ scheme. There’s a real shortage of homes in this country and unless those who do end up buying are prevented somehow from being landlords, I can see the situation becoming a lot worse as there’s simply not enough housebuilding going on and very little space on which to build, in the areas where people want to live and there’s enough work for everyone…
Yours,
