Should you have a job to get a council house?

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?

    Well, yes - it should be part of the deal - you've got to pay for that accommodation somehow. If you haven't got a job and plead with the council, then you should be required to work for the council - doing whatever they can find fit for you to do. No-one should be allowed a free ride in life. What you get out of life is in direct proportion to what you put in. That is why these instant rewards of New Years honours are such a mess - any Johnny come lately can qualify. Sorry, pal - not under my regime you wouldn't!

    Biggles, wrong again. My wife and I are both school teachers and are well prepared for retirement. We have never got a penny we have not earned, but have paid a lot of tax over the years to feed those people who dont work.
