I was having a flick through the channels last night and can't shake this angry feeling off. I work for a tenants organisation and seen a quick thing on The One Show last night. Dom was doing some house thing and he said to the fella 'forgive me for saying this, but you don't look like the type who needs social housing'.
So what are people in social housing supposed to look like? 2 heads? one eye lower than the other? Baldy???
Now I must admit, I didn't see much more, but to enforce this stereotype on national TV, is just so wrong. The demonising of people in the regulated rented sector HAS TO STOP. But that is the BBC, peddling Tory agenda as per This country is obsessed with owning your own home as the be all and end all. Why???? It's not the norm throughout Europe. It is not frowned upon. People want to own, fine, but believe it or not, there are people who CHOOSE to rent.
