Britons in social housing who aren’t working or actively seeking employment should be kicked out, according to new housing minister Caroline Flint. Do you agree?

    so let me get this right; those on unemplyment benefit can keep their homes (because to get it they must be activly seeking work), but all those on pensions, the sick and disabled, and single parents with young children, will be kicked out of there homes?

    how wicked, forcing people in their 60s and over to get a job, many of them are not fit enough. don't forget many people in social housing fought for this country but did not earn enough to buy their own homes, so had to rely on council houses.
