Thatcher's housing policy

The idea of a “property-owning democracy”

emerged as a conservative political strategy

in the 1920s to attempt

to counter dangerous socialist ideas

percolating within the working class.

It was appropriated by Anthony Eden,

Conservative deputy leader in the 1940s,

in response to Labour’s

postwar expansion of social housing,

before becoming a key strand

of Thatcherite strategy in the 1980s.

Thatcher’s offer

to council tenants to buy their flats,

and the loosening of mortgage rules

to expand bank lending policy,

was a runaway success.

It contributed to,

and was a product of,

the fragmentation

of working-class communities

and the atomisation of society witnessed

in the 1980s.

The preoccupation

with home ownership

was predicated

in large part on the belief

that social housing must necessarily

be of poor quality,

and that only home ownership

could meet people’s aspirations

and allow the working class

to anachronistically borrow a phrase

from a different context

almost 40 years later,

to “take control” of their lives.

‘Where there is discord, may we bring harmony . . .’

Margaret Thatcher moves in to No 10

Ian Aitken, the Guardian

5 May 1979

Mrs Margaret Thatcher,

Britain’s first woman prime minister,

moved formally into 10 Downing Street

with the generous good wishes

of Mr Jim Callaghan yesterday,

ready to face up

to the first of a daunting array of problems.

Before taking the historic step over the threshold

— “One small step for Mrs Thatcher,

one giant stride for womankind,”

as someone put it —

she paused to do a final walkabout

among the cheering crowd of onlookers,

and to deliver herself of a few thoughts

on her debt to her shopkeeper father.

She uttered the customary words

about the great honour which had been bestowed on her —

words uttered by almost every one of her predecessors

in similar circumstances.

But on this occasion,

coming from the lips of the first woman

to lead any western government,

they acquired a special significance.

Then she went on,

rather more surprisingly, to quote St Francis of Assisi:

“Where there is discord, may we bring harmony;

where there is error, may we bring truth;

where there is doubt, may we bring faith;

and where there is despair, may we bring hope.”

In fact,

as Mr Ted Heath had the temerity to suggest yesterday,

the spreading of harmony

may well prove to be Mrs Thatcher’s most difficult task.

She takes over

with a handsome working majority in the Commons of 44,

but it is founded solidly

on a bedrock of London and southeastern seats,

with the Conservative success steadily shading off to the north,

ending up with positive hostility in Scotland.

The party of Disraeli’s “one nation”

now finds itself ruling two or perhaps even three nations.

Mr Callaghan, in a graceful and generous statement

immediately after tendering his resignation to the Queen,

went out of his way to promise

that there would be no “factitious” opposition

or opposition for opposition’s sake from the Labour party.

He pledged the new Opposition in parliament

to assist the government in any efforts

to increase economic growth and the production of wealth.

But he posed one condition for this cooperation

— that the wealth so created was fairly distributed.

Then he added a personal recognition

of the social and historic significance of Mrs Thatcher’s victory.

After congratulating her, he said: “For a woman to occupy that office

is a tremendous moment in our country’s history.

I wish her every success.”
