To think I should be able to have a council house?

[frustratedmumof3]

Ho hum - must stop my addiction to MN as will not have time from next week so my cunning plan is to piss off as many people as possible so I will be frightened to come on here .

So, my local council are building lots of lovely new council or housing association (don't care what they are) homes in my area with brand spanking new kitchens, bathrooms, lovely new carpets etc, etc and I am thinking why should the so-called vulnerable members of society (who are most probably going to wreck the places) be higher on the housing list than us.

We rent privately (since we sold our house 2 years ago as could not afford the mortgage) and I don't see that we will ever be able to afford another house. We pay well over a grand for a 3 bed (3DCs) and have the insecurity of potentially having to move every 6 months at the owners whim which is the worst thing (have already moved 3 times since started renting).

It really makes me mad that quite a few of DCs friends have council houses where they pay only 350 per month and probably earn similar wages to us (the ones that work that is). What makes them deserve one more than us? I know damn well that we will not get one of the new homes as there are about 5000 people in the queue before us and they will probably go to single parents, immigrants and and generally useless members of society who do not work and have no intention of doing so. We pay our taxes and would appreciate any help we were given (as we need it now) but will get sweet FA. Makes me want to scream!! This thread may be unusual as I am not dissing council house tenants as I desperately want to be one (in a new build anyway).

If you were really intelligent, you wouldn't post such unmitigated shite.

"Sad society that seems to think that everyone else owes them a living"

Speak for yourself, you're the one whining that you can't get a council house!

in answer to the op.
have a severley disabled child. the n you gat to jump the list.

we do pay for it and still get buggar all back.
also peoples curcumstances change-what then?what say your paying £1000 a month rent and happily married,working etc.then all goes tits up and end up in council house-are those people ok?

For shame ScottishMummy!

I hope you time their toilet breaks to the nanosecond. Feckless little beasts they are.

exactly frosty

OP.you seem to think you are 'owed' a 'free house' becasue your rent is too high

Get.A.Grip

go fuck your mother you fucking inbreed

now i have that out of my system please feel free to delete it.
i have, in the space of 5 minutes seen 2 OP's by FMo3 that have annoyed me...i just couldn't hold my bile in anylonger.

apologies to all normal people here.

'Sad society that seems to think that everyone else owes them a living, while the ones who pay for it get bugger all back.'

Yes you've got the same sense of entitlement.

We rent in a lovely area, we have been on the list for 2 years but as we have somewhere to live ,we arn't likely to be housed. Dh does'nt want to live in a council house as you don't know where they might put you or who will be living next door. I just want a home where i know we can stay for as long as we like.

Good luck to all that are waiting.

and to clarify - that was something one of the kids i worked with used to say when he was really angry.

for some reason it popped into my head reading this thread.
it wasn't my own thought im sad glad to say

??????????????

I have my name down on the list. When my turn comes, in about 3 and a half years, I'll get one. Simple. Fair.

Don't really see what this thread is about.

If my family lived on the council housing estate near you, then I guarantee you wouldn't be able to tell us apart from the family in the privately owned house near you.

Take off your blinkers and be less of a snob please. (I asked nicely!)

Dont like the tone of your op, but have you looked into housing association schemes? if your income is low you may be able to secure shiney new home on shared ownership scheme. This is what I am doing

'I just want a home where i know we can stay for as long as we like.'

I hear ya!

and best of luck to everyone who is waiting.

Do you allow your children to use language like that to people who have said something they don't agree with HRH?

f3 - I'll use whatever bloody language I liked.....

so you going to find me this magic job that will leave me better off???

Or are you going to fuck off

no, but then im not a child.

if you were as intelligent as you say you would have been able to read my post saying that "a child i worked with"

hence he was not my child, but someone with whom i worked.

or would you like a diagram?

fmo3 i imagine it was specifically aimed at your intellectual range,doll

ps, it is my £70k a year earning x who contributes nothing for his two children that has me in this situation and therefore tarred with your nasty little brush.

Poor does not equal useless.

Everyone on a council waiting list will tell you they deserve it as much if not more than the next person. Everyone has 'special circumstances'. Boo hoo. Be glad you have a roof over your head.

FUCK OFF!! You stupid, over opinionated bitch. You will NOT get social housing as you have adequate accomodation even if you make yourselves homeless the council have no obligation to rehome you!!!
These a few council houses near me that are going spare if you fancy living near single mums and other drains on society.Nah you wouldnt do that as your so fucking high and mighty. You really have no fucking clue at all.

shelleylou well said

Dont feed the troll.
