Good for you I also have a serverly menatlly disabled brother and elderly parents also registerd as disabled although quite what that has to do with chav teeanage mums getting pregnant (some repeatedly) just for social housing/carer choice is beyond me.

I hope your situation improves.

Thought you said it was a woman you overheard, now it's a teen?

Who are you to dictate what people do with their lives. We are living in the 21st century here not everyone wants to get married and then have kids. We live in a society that is generally quite acceptant of peoples choices. If you do not like that perhaps youd be better off housed in north korea...

I think my opions are far from a dictatorship - although i bet their teenage pregancy rate is lower

I have friend who are not married but live together and raise their children TOGETHER... thats the point isnt it?

I am not saying eveyone must get married i am saying we should be giving our children/teangers more options than - I dotn want/cant find a job -I know i will have a baby and get a house?

I am just annoyed and to be frank saddened at the 'kids' here that have babies and get their mum to write letters saying they are being evicted......

I can't believe this only happens in my town either.

Reminds me of a game myself and my friends used to play, when we saw someone was clearly eavesdropping on our conversation we would spout as many stereotypes as we could, was great fun watching them turn puce, knowing they'd be ranting to anyone who would listen as soon as they could.

Much more fun just to stand outside pointing up in the sky for 5 minutes or so... then quietly sloping off to the coffee shop to watch

What about those who live in small houses, then breed more children than their home can accommodate, just so they can whine about council waiting lists? Are they any better?

This isnt a competition!
Like wwharris has said. Housing is based on need, people who deliberately worsen their circumstances in order to get housing are penalised. Basically you feel hard done by because someone else has been housed and you have not and decided to come on here and have a rant about it based on your personal prejudices of people to make yourself feel a little better.You have a roof over your heads which is a lot more than some people have

Still her baby deffetley fell from the ugly tree.. obviously it dark in the 'club'

I wonder if these 'immigrants' use this sort of language to describe how someone else's child looks. How would you feel if someone said that about your children.

Next time you feel like a rant, do us all a favour and keep it to yourself, wait your turn,accept that some people need more help than you and be thankful you have somewhere to live

You are making judgements about someone based on a snippet you heard.

I suggest you re read your own posts about debt,eviction and selling your house before judging others.

And most social housing providers have a policy designed to give penalties to those who worsten their own circumstances.

Such as having more children that you cannot afford to house or support?
Never seen that listed as a cause for penalties.

That will be because it isn't. We have a well developed benefits system to address those very issues. It's called "being part of the civilised world".

Did the council send you a decision on your homelessness application. In there it would have told you that they have accepted your homelessness application or you have been classed as intentionally homeless. I have never heard of a council classing someone as technically homeless!

yes of course they did....I was officially classed as homeless. I was no longer entitled to Army accomadation. so no , not intentionally homeless. it specifically stated on it that I was now classed as homeless. not suitable for hostel....due to age of my daughter at the time, and had no temporary accomadation. anyway, no longer relevant as two years later, I am going to see a property.
