If everybody in britain is given a house for life thats fine, if only certain people get a house for life then thats not.
Then maybe that should be the argument. Security of tenure for all. Take the housing act back to the pre 1988 days. After all, we all want security, don't we?0 -

I don’t quite understand why people are crying for better security on private lets and the opposite on social housing.
Also I would have thought that most people well of enough to buy would buy their council house under right to buy if forced to move.
Perhaps it is because security for private tenants is woefully inadequate and in the case of social housing security is given to people with no legitimate claim.
Charity should be given on the basis of genuine need, not to people with second homes, high incomes or large savings. The size of the council house should reflect the needs of tennant rather than the wishes of the tennant. People who sublet their council homes should be barred for life.0 -
No. We should out them on well researched and unbiased BBC documentries.

I dont really want one of the rats as a missus.
I would find it quite embarrasing seeing the missus walk to the shops in her pyjamas whilst pushing our little keanus pram with him just wearing a nappy.0
