Of course, the easing of deposit saving will also prop up house prices to an unrealistic level, so each successive set of saver become a greater burden as it takes them longer to save the bigger deposit needed. What do you do if they fail to save enough?
Im beginning to think you are just plain dumb.
I would rather people who wanted to get on in life were given the council houses instead of spongers, i would rather that than have a scumbag in a house for the whole of their lives and not pay a single penny for it.
Why are you in support of scumbags getting a free house for life and not letting somebody who wants to get on in life have the house instead, dont you see that if this happened then the scumbag population would decrease over time.0 -

You have declined to answer 3 times now.
I won't ask you any more. I think 3 times is sufficient. If you wish to carry on ignoring the absolutely obvious, thats your perogative. Unfortunately however, it renders all debate absolutely pointless.
They are overcrowded because the size of their property isn't sufficient to meet the demands of the household.
Unemployed households, employed households, black households, white households, scottish households, welsh households, single parent households, step family households, rich households, poor households, vegitarian households, 7th day evangelist households, tall households, short households, disabled households, glutton intolerant households, blind households, Irish households, households consisting entirely of uncles... ALL are overcrowded if the size of their property isn't sufficient to meet the demands of the household.0 -

You need to define scumbag. How can you tell, when a 19 year old single mum takes a tenancy, what she will do with the rest of her life. It must be more than an assumption because I know you don't approve of them either.0 -

Hmmm, I'm thinking of maybe rephrashing the question.
Ok, so you've given me the dictionary definition several times now and were not really moving any further forward. The PC claptrap below your answer doesn't really make your answer go any further, so I'm not sure what the political correctness stuff was in aid of. I thought I'd better acknowledge it though, before you start the tangent of calling me a racist.
So, can you answer this...
WHAT made the house overcrowded. It wasn't overcrowded when she initially got the house. Therefore, what was it that made the house overcrowded?0 -

Are you saying that crime would not be reduced if the consequences were much harsher, 5 years for shoplifting would stop a lot of shoplifters wouldnt it.0 -
