Quotes by Lynsey Hanley (?)

“Council housing, once the cherished centrepiece of Bevanite socialism, took just twenty years for successive governments to pick apart.”

“Margaret Thatcher. She is widely quoted as saying in 1986 that ‘a man who finds himself, beyond the age of 26, on a bus can consider himself a failure’.”

“The estate stayed with me long after I moved elsewhere, partly in the form of a strange kind of vertigo when presented with opportunities and experiences I’d grown up assuming were far beyond my reach. I also felt its presence as early as my first term at university, when I got it into my head that everyone in the student union bar wanted to hear a version of my life story which crossed the “books on prescription” section of the library with Monty Python’s Four Yorkshiremen sketch.”
