    apart from daughter and nephew, huh? Just as long as it's not the neighbours.

    another of your unfounded accusations, i should not be surpised this thread is littered with them, at least my lot are tryers and work/own their own property and trying to make their way. They haven't taken the easy option of having 5 kids sitting back or shouldn't that be lying back.expecting the rest of us to pay for them!!

    OP if you are half as unpleasant in real life as you give every appearance of being on this thread I sincerely hope for your sake and your hypothetical new neighbours that they decide not to move in after all.


    I sincerely hope so!!

    They aren't unfounded.... YOU founded them!

    As for the rest of your post.... early days, early days. There seem to be enough of your lot suckling on the teat of taxpayer kindness already! I'm sure your new neighbours will fit right in. And, if you want to make friends, you can just tell them how to push their way to the front of the council list, like your nephew.

    My social concience wouldn't allow me to advise anyone to cheat their way to such a limited resource. Perhaps my moral standard is just higher than yours. Having said that, this family appears to be so much more resourceful than some members of your sponging brood and have found their own housing solution. Just a shame they could only afford to live next door to you. Ah well, birds of a feather.....

    yeah having five kids and letting the rest of us pay their rent!! I can see how your social concience would find nothing wrong in this, but working for a living, buying your own house and making your own way in this world without social assistance is a repulsive thing to do in your books, that tells me all I need to know about your mentally, you have none.

    Is your clearly deficient intellect up to the task of supporting your need to be so judgemental?

    The system is fairer to those who don't work then to those who do!! I didn't vote for them, but will be very interested to see what this new Government comes up with?

    Factual knowledge isn't important to people like that.
