tory policies wrecking the country just like we knew they would

Tories are bad for business. Bad for you and bad for me. Unless you are a dave's mates millionaire perhaps.

Why on earth would you be homelss, if you have children you are with in your right to seek social housing

It won't be snazzy won't be nice but you won't with children in the uk as it stands be sleeping in the street

I don't care if you do want to be rude its the labour party you seem to love so much who got us here spending money we didn't have trying to pay off the unemployed and public sector with huge benefits and and swelled civil service

You can't depend more than you earn

You can't have millions sitting at home when they are able to work

And you can't have people living in pimlico when they unemployed on the tax payer

If you do which labour did you end up with cuts and more cuts if they had put something away in the good times we would be much better off now

No, as two need seprate bedrooms due to their disability LHA have said a long wait, durting which we will be in a temp accom unit and classed as homeless: sahred housing fo that type not suitable for boys so they would be in foster care whilst that happened

And no I am not a particularly big fan of Labour, so you are wrong there

So what do people do anyway when there are no jobs? because certainly in many areas of the country that is reality right now.

maypole1 · 10/11/2011 21:35

To be honest peachy the welfare reform already sets out that if theirs no job you will be required to do vountry work which can only add to a cv and keep people busy but if their is a job it must be taken

Under labour if you didn't want a job you simply didn't have to take it and still got the money that can't be right

People can't take jobs that are not their so if their are really no jobs cleaning or working in bars or mc donalds which immergants seem to always find then their should be no issue

But if their is a job offered they should take it or loose their money its only right and those who can't find work should not be sitting at home drinking tea on my dime

And you will be surprised how housing suddley find a home when ss put pressure they will not allow children to go into care due to housing trust me they haven't the foster carers

Good luck

they're their there Grin

You see I am due to see small business advisor next week and Dh has a small business: evenings take both of us. that might mean we are crap but they do.

With a 3 year old I should be covered for work, but I can't see Dh's business making the reqauired amount by then. he ahs a history of Mh breakdowns and I know being forced to close his business which he has almost got there and studied for his degree for will knock him so very much. We have fought and fought and fought and if we ahd an extra year could be there.

So we will have jobs, just not 35 hour ones as required. We'd happily both do 25 hours each and juggle but the new benchmark doesn;t give us time to get there.

30000 people on our housing list, one of the worst areas in UK for employment and poverty.

Peachy · 10/11/2011 23:34

Oh and nonw of the estaes fall into areas coverd by both boy's SN Bases so dreading having to pull one out and shift them always hard for an ASD child.

maypole1 · 11/11/2011 08:28

Ss are allocated a certain amount of housing to use as they will

Peachy · 11/11/2011 10:23

So whya re they telling us otherwise? (we're not in england BTW@ Welsh law different)

I;d like to beleive you

But still would lose the boys palces at school.

maypole1 · 11/11/2011 16:25

Because their for emergencies not for people who might live in a horrible place sometimes they are have used their quota for the year because when I say they have some houses its basically like two or three houses my la used two of their homes for a foster carer who was willing to take on a sibling group of 6 but was living in a two bed flat knocked a two and three bed together

I very much doubt you children will go into care and I am more than certain that it would break your heart to put them in care I would imagine if your children are as disabled as you say you should be a medical priority and wouldn't wait more than 6 months to be re housed

They won't house you know whilst you still have a roof over head how ever much you say you will be homeless sadly they will basically wait till you go down their with bags packed and have handed the house keys back to the bank before they will act or else they would have every joker saying they are about to be made homeless

Peachy · 11/11/2011 17:00

Rented not keys to bank Maypole: never more than 2 months away from that although we have a lovely landlady so if it happened it would be becuase they needed house. It is in trust for chidlren though so will at some stage.

And schools situation does frighten me; ds3 is in a 20 place SNU- crowds make him withdraw totally but the one serving the estates has 200 children. i'd be odd if I were not scared!

maypole1 · 11/11/2011 18:09

If child has a statement and a named school the la with have to get son their end of my daughter who is disabled has a statement they legally have to provide transport because its far away

losingtrust · 11/11/2011 19:08

Labour started quantitive easing people. The Guardian is totally against the Tories. It is just like reading the Daily Mail's view of unions. It's all totally skewed.

losingtrust · 11/11/2011 19:11

By the way anyone who slags off working at McDonalds (as mentioned further up the thread) should read their stats for leaders remaining in jobs. One of the best companies in the World - they really engage their staff so that the old adage that a non-worker at school will end up working at Macca Ds is actually completely wrong nowadays. Good company to work for and has won lots of employee engagement awards. Sorry bit of a rant but at work we are trying to emulate their work model.

Peachy · 11/11/2011 19:16

No, they can withdraw transport at review- and do, if not attending catchment school, ds3's school in middle of nowhere.

Trust me I know my sn law- months away from MA in Autism.

LT good- there's enough Tory papaers about (Telegraph, DM)- why not have a range?

losingtrust · 11/11/2011 20:16

My dcs are losing their transport as well. We live in a country area but it is the Council who are facing cuts that have made the decision and to close our local library because we are perceived to be a well-off area even though we are not. All the money is being invested in the more inner city areas who are getting super new facilities while we are getting shafted but they did tell us they were not increasing council tax, woopy do!

maypole1 · 11/11/2011 20:39

Peachy their is a range if you want to read lefty lies then you can read the guardian.

And harp back to the glory days of labour when the public sector was bigger than my aunties arse and spending was like Frankie cacoza high

SalmeMurrikAgain · 11/11/2011 21:41

Maypole1, I'm a taxpayer too. You don't speak for me. Gordon Brown went to a state school.

Peachy · 12/11/2011 11:30

I am a taxpayer too, as is DH (why can MN never accept that carer can = worker)

me neither. I'd rather pay a little more tax and ensure that other people get the same help we did through diagnosis and statementing than watch the alternatives tbh.

And what- left papers are all lies and right all truth? Shame there's no delusional smilie! They've all got an agenda, anyone must read knowing that.
