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).

quite right throw dog pooh at her instead

throws this at idiotic op

thanks 2shoes.... I ccant stand threads like these putting down people that need council housing

sprays some around the room before wandering off for a fag

well we haven't had the "those bloody single mother on benefits, scrounging off the state smoking fags".........have we

PATHETIC - noticed this on other threads that anyone who quite logically and rightly expresses their point of view on anything to do with benefits, social housing etc, gets completely flamed.

I think that you are all a bunch of politically correct, bleeding heart Guardian reading twats.

Now will do myself a favour and fuck off to go shag my husband.

frustrated - you found that job for me yet???????/

But you are not logical. You come across as very ignorant and a little bit stupid and inconsistent. Go shag your husband. Theres a darling.

you do need to work hard on your insecure ego issues, why you thrive on negative reinforcement and seek affirnmations

FM we're in same sit- oh no we're more deserving, we have 4 dc's and 2 are SN.

And no we shouldnt get a council house because we can afford private rented and are managing. Council houses are there for a safety et; a great deal will be occupied by people on dla or whatever and there's just not enough to go round.

oh dear are we having a tantrum
I did suggest a way to jump the list, it worked for me. only had to wait a year.

we are pathetic for getting angry at a thread you posted DELIBERATELY to upset people?

if your on benefits you cant afford a fucking mortgage you really are unbelieveable. I dont read the guardian cant afford it as a single mum scrounging benefits and living in a council house

Is anyone else wondering how someone so clearly poorly educated, ignorant and frankly idiotic earns 60k?

O our rent- very nice 3 bed cottage- is £600.

You should move?

Poor poor man, I hope she doesn't open her mouth whilst shagging him, could really put a fellow off.

I actually think the poster is a man

anyhoo enough of FMO3, i am offsky.trolls are tiresome with short shelf life

Certain things you put in your post were rather rude and generalising FMO3 but having been in a position where we were homeless, 3 dcs, i was pregnant and told no way would we get a house within 2 years I can understand your level of frustration. But remember as i had to it's not the people on the list or those in social housing who are at fault when we need a house, it's the fact that there are not enough houses to go round.

We are lucky enough now to have a social housing home but there are 7 of us in a small 3 bed home and our personal situation is that we are eligible for a 4bed home but are 28th on the list so no chance. Is that the fault of the people who have the 4bed homes? No of course not

frustratedmumof3.

You sound angry and upset about something.

Perhaps you should get some counselling?

I mean this ever so kindly by the way, as a caring, sharing bleeding heart liberal type of person.

Now I must go to knit some organic museli.

Single parents get council houses? I was a single parent for four years and still way down on the bootom of the list

shesells - the answer is vice.

I reckon there are some rich execs who pay her to talk such idiocy.

SeaShells - yes it had crossed my mind

Don;t judge FMO3 - her goldfish might have just died. Or her tits might be dragging on the floor - she might be a martyr to friction burn

To be honest, I am not sure why council houses exist. It seems ridiculous and unfair this situation of extreme rationing.

Why make provision for some small number, leaving others to go into private rented?

I am PMSL at "go fuck your mother you fucking inbreed"

Mamazon, you must come to the meet. I heart you
