You really are a joke, either answer the question or dont bother posting a dodge.0 -

Can we delve into this a little further, or is anything other than dictionary definition to be ignored.
I'll ask again. WHY are they overcrowded?
Whilst I can see where you are going with this, the facts of the matter remain the same. They are overcrowded because the size of their property isn't sufficient to meet the demands of the household. That is the only direct causal factor.0 -

You seem to think we should just carry on housing sponging scumbags, why is that.
There may be more costs involved doing what i suggested but over time it will eventually save money. constantly giving parasites free money and housing does not save any money.
And how will it save money?0 -

Somebody who leaves school and then gets a job and goes to that job day in day out and then saves a house deposit then buys a house so that they are not a burden to the state.
I will answer what i feel will be said next ie but letting them have a council house will make them a burden to the state. yes it will but only for the length of time it takes them to save a deposit for their own house and not a lifetime of being a burden0 -

So whilst you admit you can see where I am going, you are going to ignore it (surprise) and stick to the dictionary definition?
Now, what was it I said earlier when I got accused of not debating, and throwing toys? Point proven. How can you possibly debate with this level and ignorance and pedance?
Is there any point in asking I wonder? WHY are they overcrowded willy?0 -

Oh right ISA's. The tax "break" available to everyone in the country who is over 16.
I suppose you'd call the personal allowance a tax break for every worker?
I suppose you'd call the lower rate of VAT on some womens sanitary products as "tax breaks for women"?
You asked for an example of a tax break for savers. I gave one. I'm not sure what you were expecting to happen.0 -

You will need to explain this to me.
Have you read the thread at all.0 -

I didn't make the "toys" comment, so your free to debate away with me as much as you like. Perhaps it would be easier if you just showed your cards and argued your case instead of asking me to do it for you.0
