Controversy Relating To Profit From Home Sale?

[edit]

A little controversy on this gentleman:

'Ronnie Campbell, a Labour MP, made £90,000 on the sale of his Kennington flat in 2011.

"I have invested it for my grandkids. That [money] is mine, that's mine, I put a £15,000 deposit down on that flat. We did make a profit, properties do go up [in value], but it's mine."

He said that his mortgage payments were signicantly cheaper to the taxpayer than renting a flat, as he does now. He said: "By throwing me out on the British streets like a dog in the night, the taxpayer has lost a lot of money.'

Is this worth considering for addition? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.226.19.138 (talk) 11:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Checking out this story, it is from The Telegraph - hardly a Labour loving newspaper? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.55.254 (talk) 10:31, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
