Kick em out of council housing

[Ryoko]

I'm sorry but has this country completely given over to morons?.

So the out of touch idiot MPs want to kick the families of those involved out of Council housing, where is the justice?, am I the only one that remembers why the symbols of justice are a blindfold and set of scales?.

All those involved must be treated equally regardless of background, take the council homes away from the poor if you must, but also kick the rich from their homes for the actions of their stupid student spawn, kick the workers out of their rented flats for the stupidity that will cost them their jobs.

Change the record, the MPs have had it in for the poor for years endlessly blaming them for everything while turning a blind eye to white collar crime and tax avoidance, endlessly trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. with more and more news coming out the cases that are in court, the kids under 12, the Olympic ambassador, the upper class student, the 30 something teaching assistant etc it's clear to everyone this is not about unemployed teens in council estates, yet the MPs refuse to open their eyes and stop stamping on the poor.

Tiffany tough on them! They can lose their frigging jobs, do their time inthe community and then begin afresh. Other, more deserving people can have their jobs.

Collecting more tax won't teach them anything. Hard work will.

Collect more council tax off those who can afford to pay will be a start. Most won't be able to pay. Most will be claiming council tax benefit I suspect.

'These people' refers to the majority of rioters who will be from council estates. How else shall I refer to them?

They should clean up the communties they destroyed.

Hopefully in the harsh daylight they might see what they have done and feel some guilt, even remorse for the family bussiness and homes they destroyed too.

Guilt is a a powerful, powerful thing.

Yes DRNortherner you are very wrong

I dont see how Dr Notherner is wrong- I understood it they had grown up on a council state and were "speaking as they found".

and the majority are not on benefits

Personally, I am sick to death of this 'lazy stereotyping' of low income families. As if I am somehow attacking law abiding folk simply for being on a low income.

I am attaching lazy, scrouging folk who get benefits, housing, money to entertain themselves with yet it is somehow not enough and we are all being told we should take responsibility and help them. Well fuck that, it's because they don't take responsibility and never have that this has happenned.

most which we are seeing prosecuted so far are in respectable professions.....they lose their jobs,sign on,housing benefit pays interest on their mortgage....they wont lose their homes.

and I'm sick to death of being accused of living like a fucking pig because I live on a council estate

so stick that up your oh so condescending pipe

I live in an ex council house with a mixture of privately owned and council homes. I have NEVER seen or heard any anti social behaviour of any sort. Home owners and tenants alike take pride in their homes and gardens. It is a joy to live here. I have a vegetable patch but I guess that must be because I own my house ;)

Bloodyhell usualsuspect that great big chip on your shoulder nearly took my eye out.

I am NOT saying all people who live in a council house live like pigs. I am saying alot do. And they have been allowed to for too long. Bad behaviour with no consequences.

As I said, I lived on one for the first 18 years of my life. My Mother still does, My Grandmother still does. I visit them all the time. I can see the rot. But yes, I can also see the good people.

Oh please. JUST council tenants have been allowed to display bad behaviour with no consequences??!!!?! I think you'll find that is a problem in income levels.

No one ever commits a crime other than council tenants

I thought every one knew that

oops.. typo... a problem in ALL income levels

Usual are all you also going to be offended by Nancy Post then?

She also described some people who let their house become a mess.

No privately owned house was ever a mess

Nancy says it was

no she didn't. she just said they were anti-social.

Am a bit curious who her neighbours are. £3000,000 a year. and auntie-social. Hmm..curiouser.

Living on benefits quite often isn't enough to live on. It certianly wouldn't strech to spend on a skip to get rid of bulky household items.

Ok anti-social. Some rich people were anti-social.

How unfair to say that, right?

A little more info for you:
4 dogs left by themselves for up to 15 hours a day - that bark non-stop - in the house when they're out, in the garden when they're home.

4 cars between them - which they park wherever they want - including disabled spaces and motorcycle bays

TV on full blast that they refuse to turn down in both the living room and their bedroom - they also leave the TV on all day when they are at work 'for the dogs.'

dog shit all over the garden that they don't clean up and that stinks to high heaven.

BBQ parties most weekends, during summer, in the gaden that go on until 4am usually ending in loud singing.

A shed where the twat of a husband practices his 'DJ mixing skills' into the early hours.

I literally can never open the windows in our house due to:

noise from dogs
noise from garden parties
smell of shit
noise from shed

"For some people any conviction might mean loss of home and / or job. For others it will be just another notch on their tally of criminal convictions and have no impact on their lives much at all."

Oh look! An expert on the value of human life!

so, a potential lawyer who loses the right to pursue their career because of a conviction will "learn from" the experience and achieve something anyway, but a low-life scum from a council estate doesn't have a life or anything worth losing anyway, so their conviction doesn't matter, cos they'll just be a con their whole life?

Is criminality the only measure of a person's life you wish to use?

Why not go further... a rich, well-employed person gets cancer and it's a tragic waste of life, whereas your single parent on bens gets cancer and it's no surprise... didn't have anything to look forward to anyway, eh?

Seriously, keep on kicking and then kick some more, maybe they'll all just stay under next time.
