Due to lack of housing london isnt suddenly going to reduce all its rent so a house only costs £400 week to rent. I do think they will have to make some expectations,. Would love to see some stats about how many london bourghs a family of 5 could afford to live in.

If you really cannot tolerate BCS posts then just don't reply, it's actually very cruel to pick apart someone in the way you are doing!
That's all, as you were
If you want to judge the situation why dont you read the full history instead of becomeing someone who wants to massage the proffesional victims ego?
Most of us dont need to play the part of the victim but we have so much more disability in our lives.0 -
