Even if it is BandB it is out of the situation she is in. She will with the changes that are coming get more money than I earn if I worked 55 hours a week. Not trying to upset the cart but is that what is wanted.

This is a general statment and not personal or case relevent, just the way I see it. I just hope that my daughter wont go this route! She is educated and will be able to get a good job, if there are any left when she wants one.

So a single pwc is uneducated now :rolleyes: the things you learn...

Yeh - a single guy with kids would be out on the streets faster than you could say sperm bandit :rolleyes:.

I'm sure you get 100 points for being a female and -50 for being a male on the points system :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Actually depending on the authority females are given preferential status. It might not be official policy but it certainly happens.

To suggest otherwise is naive sou.

I do not believe you unless you can back that up with some evidence.

Ahh you already say it's not official policy so it seems like you don't have any :rolleyes:

BTW while you are looking for that evidence perhaps you could clear up these other urban myths - black people can just walk into a council home, drug addicts and homeless people get extra money for their dogs, Indian people get extra help with their mortgages etc etc

Just hatefilled hearsay.

I might be naive but I thought better of you Mark

Social stigma. My LA for example will give priority to someone who claims DV.

Guess what, that tends to be a virtually unique claim by females.

As is the way with the courts the housing situation di are loaded. Whether you or i like it or not equality is a one way street currently.

Virtually unique? Are you not going to stand by your guns and say it is always a woman who claims this?

It seems to me that you are stepping back from your claim of women getting preference and now stating that victims of domestic violence get preference and they happen to be nearly all women.

*sigh* no they don't - try and find some evidence - there is none. I had a friend who used to work for the DWP and asked her if this was true some years ago, no it wasn't.

There was a thread on it some weeks ago - the closest we got to evidence was someone saying that it was a wink and nod policy that not everyone at the benefits office are aware of but it does definitely go on - he couldn't provide more evidence than that but we would have to take his word on it.

Another person posted on a benefits forum and again was told by a benefits officer that this was not true.

I searched the net and the only thing I could find about homeless people and their dogs is many hostels don't accept dogs so these people remain outside because they don't want to separated.

I'm always open to evidence though, care to produce some?
