Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Whilst I understand what you're saying, it'd be a real shit place to live if the government decided to tell you what you can and couldn't spend your money on if you lived in a council house.

Aaron_butcher 17 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I don't really understand how council houses work (im only young). But is there not a cut off point of earnings? Like if you earn over so much per year you dont qualify for a council house or can anyone get one? Because he must be on a few quid to afford that car. Cheers, Aaron.

shamus 36 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 well the coalition is saying that social housing should only be availible to people up to a certain earnings level,but wether they act on it remains to be seen. Trouble is they still pay higher levels of housing benefit to those living in rented accomadation so unless more council properties are built i cant see an improvement.

shepp 2,285 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well all I can say is if you scratch the surface there is a lot more going on than most people realise. My ex girlfriend was looking for a room to rent in London and most of the rooms she looked at were council places, the tenant was always foreign, more often than not muslim. They usually did'nt live in the property but were sub letting the rooms and pocketing the cash. Social housing is meant for people who can not afford to buy or privately rent a place and is certainly not to be used as a cash cow for an immigrant. Refering to the person in my opening post, I would bet a grand that he would not bare close scrutiny if anybody had the balls to investigate him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
