There are many other factors involved in being eligible for a council house, that are nothing to do with income at all.
There you go again, more rubbish, but what else to expect.
I don't feel the need to reply.
Anyway, I thought you were the one complaining about people going off subject? Hypocrite, pot, kettle, black?0 -

How do you know. They might of bought their house that happens to be on a council estate(Many people do buy their council houses and sell them on you know) And anyway my stepson has a council flat and he works.0 -
There is an interesting thread on discussion time "Brothers mate giving up work to go on benefits so he can concentrate on warcraft"0

How is it off subject to highlight the FACT that you have done nothing but moan about people's entitlement to benefits, whilst the whole time you are sat in subsidised housing, benefitting from cheap rents, no doubt the same house you hatched your little (failed plot) to swop your partners full time hours for state benefits?
And that is WITHOUT even delving into how two SUPPOSEDLY working people found themselves with a secure tenancy in a subsidised property in the first place.
Though not impossible to get a council house, extremely difficult. And in this case, even when homeless, if you have one, never mind TWO incomes, LA's will rather help you find a private let and send you on your way. but funny considering supporting comments on here like "16 year olds who get pregant just to get a council house". Hahaha
I suspect, you played the system yourself at some point, either that or you were unemployed/and or low income and in need of benefits including in housing need. Didn't you LiamAll over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0 -

I've never actually asked (bar rhetorical) questions about his personal life. He's volunteered the information that he has a council house, and tried to swop an earned wage for benefits.
It wouldn't be so funny, if it wasn't for the fact he's spent the last 18 pages accusing meanstested benefits receipients (of which he is one on at least one occasion) of being "lazy yada yada", and demaning they do community service for their tax-payer subsidised benefits. All the while declaring he supports his family himself IN A COUNCIL HOUSE!
So, he did need on at least one occasion the state to help him support his family after all.:rotfl::rotfl:All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0 -

You just go round and round in circles.
I havn't yet read anything on here that says there should be no state benefits and that no one should ever receive any.You do not seem to realise that by your statements you continually reduce your point of view to extreme silliness.0 -

No what I have done is expressed my opinion on those that choose not to work and choose to live off benefits.
No matter how many times you say otherwise.
whilst the whole time you are sat in subsidised housing, benefitting from cheap rents,
Wasn't it you who was going on about the costs of housing, I guess that only applies to those who their is no real cost involved, ie those on benefits who get the house paid for.
no doubt the same house you hatched your little (failed plot) to swop your partners full time hours for state benefits?
I have already been through this several times. It isn't my problem you refuse to read or accept anything else that doesn't fit with your arguments.
And that is WITHOUT even delving into how two SUPPOSEDLY working people found themselves with a secure tenancy in a subsidised property in the first place.
Waste of time even bothering to reply really.
Though not impossible to get a council house, extremely difficult.
Yes it is. I should know, but then again you will be an expert on that too, you are a "professional" lets not forget.
And in this case, even when homeless, if you have one, never mind TWO incomes, LA's will rather help you find a private let and send you on your way.
Your wide ranging knowledge on benefits and local housing is something to admire.. (I was being sarcastic, I guess that will be wasted on you)
but funny considering supporting comments on here like "16 year olds who get pregant just to get a council house". Hahaha
Not at all related to my circumstances.
Not a comment I have even made on this thread either.
I suspect,
You suspect a lot, more often than not you are completely wrong with your suspicions.
you played the system yourself at some point, either that or you were unemployed/and or low income and in need of benefits
All wrong, just your wrong interpretation of my circumstances. Circumstances which about 90% is based on your own fabrication.
including in housing need. Didn't you Liam
Yes, I did need somewhere to live. So do most people.

More lies.

When was this? I have been in constant employment since leaving school at 16.
of being "lazy yada yada", and demaning they do community service for their tax-payer subsidised benefits.
Just more filler, for your meaningless posts.
All the while declaring he supports his family himself IN A COUNCIL HOUSE!
Is it such a shock to you that a working family can live in a council property?
So, he did need on at least one occasion the state to help him support his family after all.
When?
Do you think the more that you say something, the more it will make people believe it?0 -
