no he should pay a premium for blocking social housing so he is encouraged to move out when his circumstances improve.

Its hard to support a person who says the government should look after the needy then on £100k+ has a £50k subsidy from the government and blocks a flat for a family.

Then don't support him. Simple. Cancel that union membership.

Families with children manage and have managed in housing including social housing in London and other cities for decades without gardens so no they don't need gardens.

If you want a dwelling with a garden then buy your own place. If we are nice as taxpayers you get a balcony or yard - land is too expensive where we need to build homes.


I actually know people who got social housing flats as single people - either under 25 or over 60 - to prevent them being homeless. The young people weren't troubled it was just they were living with the rest of their family and overcrowded in most but not all cases so were rehoused. It is easier to rehouse someone in a studio/one bed flat and in rare cases a one-bed house/2 bed flat then to rehome an entire family in a 4 or more bed house. However this was decades ago. Old people are still rehoused as needed as they are placed in retirement flats which have a turn over.


Social tenants have to have links to the area they want a home in. Apart from that if they reach the top of the list and don't take one of 3 options they are offered then they are making themselves intentionally homeless so are chucked off - well in the London boroughs I know about.

One thing that was clear in the pandemic is that those with kids and a garden had a better lockdown.
So you think we should concrete over all social gardens or build another dwelling in them?

Blimey you make me look left wing!

This bloke is blocking a social rent house and getting a subsidy. If people who had become well to do were moved out of social housing many would be freed up for those in need.

I have no idea why any contractor would support this bloke.

I have no problem with Union leaders paying what the members believe they are worth. I have an issue with the government subsidising well paid people and blocking social housing

We aren't in the pandemic.

I prefer to have more families with kids housed in a decent permanent home than living in a one room hostel/B&B

And no communal gardens and playgrounds are fine as they make good use of space plus children can play with each other - that is as long as there isn't a poor door.

Shhhh.
No one has told Vet that his side lost WWII yet.

and they can find all the syringes and broken vodka bottles that are left in communal areas.

When did you become an expert in social housing and deprivation?

ah, a permie! that explains the constant stream of pish.

My side? I wasn't even born, if you mean my Grandparents side yes they won freedom for the world at great personal risk to themselves and with significant help from our colonies and commonwealth.

We then lost the peace because we rebuilt our enemies industry not ours and we now happily buy from companies that made millions from the Axis powers in WWII. Enjoy your BMW/Audi/VW or Boss suit or German drugs.
