    How terrible if you are not working you may be kicked out of a council home, i thought council houses were for poor people, thats why they were built for people on low incomes. I'm fuming, what about foriegners that come over here, they are the first to get them

    the council should not own houses in this day and age only a small stock for real emergencies, the majority of council owned houses breeds today's benefit society.

    sO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SOME OF YOU WOULD SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW COMING OUT OF WORK THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THEIR COUNCIL HOMES AND THEIR CHILDREN AS WELL? ARE YOU PEOPLE FOR REALL? sOME OF YOU PEOPLE OUT THEIR ARE SO NOT HUMAN AT ALL AND SHOULD BE IN A FARMYARD OR WORST. YOU SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD WETHER YOU ARE IN EMPLOYMENT OR NOT. wHAT WOULD SOME OF YOU DO ROUND THE UBEMPLOYED UP AND PUT THEM IN A CAMP OR SHOOT THEM OR SOMETHING. mAYBE THE MINISTER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CLAIM FOR A SEConD HOME AND ALL HER EXPENSES AND THE REST OF THEM LIKE HER. WE COULD SAVE MILLIonS OF POUNDS EVERY YEAR AND BUILD MORE HOMES FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM. I HOPE THAT SOME OF YOU HEARTLESS AND Don'T GIVE A DAM ABOUT ANYBODY BUT YOURSELF PEOPLE Don'T BECOME UNEMPLOYED AND LOOSE YOUR HOMES LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE. tHIS IS onLY THE BEGINING AND THE WORST IS YET TO COME. SO PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT. gOOD LUCK TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT. YOU CAN'T FIND JOBS THAT Don'T EXIST FOR PEOPLE, WETHER THEY LIVE IN COUNCIL HOMES OR PRIVATE HOMES. tHAT IS COMMon SENCE. SOME OF YOU ARE NOT IN THE REAL WORLD AND NEED TO BE MORE COMPASSIonATE TO YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
