I think I can see where SOZ is comign from..
Heaven forfend some peopel not be in a financial position to BUY a house - or at least rent privately.. I mean HOW dreadful taht some people (myself included) would have to STOOP so low as to rent LOW cost quality housing from a Councilor ocial landlord.
How simply SHOCKING then that the Government Provide low cost (- NOT - subsidised) for individuals and families who are denied through their circumstances the luxury of owning their home.
and worse still her precious House might resemble a HA/Council house... well FUCK me how shockingly dreadful - I mean you'd think architects would have the good sense to differentiate house appearences for the sae of those who CAN buy one over the rest of us scum.
Could SOZ I wonder imagine what its like to be looked down on so much for living in a council house, and worse still actually being on full housing and council tax benefit, eeking out an existence on Income Support - becuase working just isn't an option, does she consider how much it takes from you to KNOW you are being 'subsidised'. Does she know how it feels to have to justify NOT being able to work? to have to attend regular work focussed interviews where you may as well bang your head against the wall? becuase unless a job thats 10am - 2pm, term time only and pays you to have all the time off you need to with 2 children to consider ( the youngest of whom is diabled)and this job would have to pay exceptionally well JUST to keep the Council rented roof over our heads.
My pride is dented enough without the kindof snobbery and judgemental attitudes displayed here.
Woop de Woo you OWN your house.
When I die I might not have anything to leave my children, that doen't make me STUPID
or unlucky.
We don't live extravagantly, this idyllic notion of being on benefits is NOT what some people imagine. What I aren't apoying in rent and council tax - I am paying to get myself out of some serious debt, we only have a car becuase my youngest son is disabled.
If I am eve in teh position to own my own home,and not NEED benefits you can count on one thing, as sure as shit, I will NOT be lookign down on anyone, I will not si there all SMUG becuase I own my home and you don't so ner ner nee ner ner.
