Why just a "roof"? Why not a 4 bedroom detached, 1/4 acre garden, within easy commuting distance of central London?

Some good suggestions here. At least everyone seems to agreed that the status quo is no longer acceptable. The BTL brigade have been holding a large section of society to ransom for way too long by depriving them of a chance of owning their own home.

Commercial Banks would just lend potential BTL's the money

Society..... Be it Councils, HA and ownership.Like I said you will always have sections of Society who are unable to buy ,so LA,a and HA,s should help take up the slack.

Where will they get the funding from to take up this slack? Maybe there should be forced repossessions and housing checks done as if it is found that a couple are living in a 4 bed house then the council should force a homeless couple in to the property so that they all share.

People have a roof over their heads, they just pay someone else for it, like I do with the bank for the time being.
And for many it works out more cost effective in the short term.

In your idealist world, where would a business person live on a short basis if they came to the UK to work, a hotel?

You also say that profit in business is ok, what about Tesco and the like making Billions for the shareholders at the consumers expense, do you expect Tesco to run at a zero % margin?


You do yourself no favours only posting parts of my post...You'd do well as a spin doctor;)

I'm off to bed as I have an early start, same time tomorrow?:D

But who should supply the shelter? I worked for mine so why should people with no input in to the system should receive the most from the system?

So you're happy to see people on the street just to give yourself a smug sense of self satisfaction? You disgust me.

Nope its tough luck but I do my bit to help, if people stopped having an obscene amount of children then it may lighten the load on the system if parents looked after their own children instead of kicking them out in to the streets then it may help, if the death penalty was bought in for drug dealers, child molesters and benefit cheats then the situation would get better.

I suppose if I ever met you then you personal hygiene would disgust me as well ;o))))))

I lived in a system were everyone was equal, the dustman lived in the same sized flat as the surgeon and earn't roughly the same amount but if you wanted medicine or a decent operation then you had to pay a backhander for it or know "someone" that could help or arrange it as your life depended on it.

We now live in a capitalist systems and it will get to survival of the fittest or earners, gas and electricity will go up in price the same as rail fares, petrol, food what is happening in Africa will happen in the UK it may take 50 or 200 years but it will happen.

They are nothing but greedy chancers who give no consideration to the dire social implications of their actions.

You've got this bit nearly right.
I hadn't considered the social implications until now.
I've now considered them. Here are the results:

If I'm annoying "people" like you (and your type) by renting out a house, I'd say any negative impact on the wider population is more than made up for by the enjoyment your annoyance provides me and a few others.
