Title: Work or lose your housing

The comment below to this new article nearly made me fall off my seat laughing this morning!!!

"Why doesn't the government just get rid of all social housing and put people in concentration camps instead. A much better idea.
Victoria Evans, Bristol, UK"

One hopes she was being sarcastic. But you never can tell these days.

"What we've heard is classic Labour spin - designed to sound tough, but is in reality meaningless."

I don't often agree with a politician but sadly it's probably true!

Although I am liking the sound of feral youth concentration camps!  rubschin:

Given that local authorities have a legal duty to house homeless families this stupid woman has clearly not thought her "policy" through.

"Zo ... You vill not work .... No excuses, ve do not care if you are a cripple and cannot work, ve do not even care that there are not enough job vacancies to go round, you and your family must be evicted ...........
Vot do you mean vere should you live? ..... In a bed and breakfast hotel of course"

Oh yes that makes a lot of sense Minister. So "on message" that she is vanishing up her own arse trying to get headlines and please Gordon.

Either sarcastic or a Daily Mail reader from the sounds of it.

Another poorly thought out headline-grabbing gimmick. Five years ago the same government were proposing to end homelessness and get families out of B&Bs, now they want to turf them out again.

Pathetic isn’t it…

No job >>> evicted from council house >>> down the council as homeless >>> given council house >>> no job, etc.

Wankers...  noooo:

Here I go again, I think in principle she is right.

There are millions of us out of the house for 60 hours a week to earn enough to just cover our mortgage and feed and provide for the rugrats.  My monthly wage is sliced quite heftily by the taxman and local council to pay for thousands of lazy scrounging tossers residing in houses bigger than mie.  They have 60 hours a week to teach their kids to murder the likes of me for daring to stand up to them.

Look, you've got a house, if you are unable to gain employment clean up dog shit in the street, go and mend kids playgrounds etc.
