    Single person households are never deemed to be overcrowded because nobody cares if single people are living and sleeping on a small shelf in a room 6'x7'. Yet somebody'd go mental if it were suggested you can stack 4 small kids in a proper/full house with their bedroom 4x the size (12'x14') as they'd be deemed over-crowded.

    There is a legal definition of overcrowding which would include single person households. To transgress it is illegal.

    You should try it sometime. It might make you look less of a tit.

    Good grief. You won't even answer a simple question without the most spectacular display of ignorance and somewhat dodgy hotstepping, even if asked four times.

    Don't go pinning yourself up as the messiah of truth. It makes a mockery of the word irony.

    No. It's because I have taken the trouble to educate myself enough to know the truth. You should try it sometime. It might make you look less of a tit.


    Believe me pal when all this is over i will honestly be able to say i have not knowingly dodged any questions, if you debate something and choose to ignore evidence given to you that completely goes against what you say then trust me you are a first class tit.

    Glad i never got my education from the same place as you.

    Which question haven't I answered? Are you still banging on about the one where you seem to think only the unemployed are overcrowded?

    Well, I have friends who think you are a tit of the highest order, so that must be true because they told me it was.

    But in order to change the system, you have to assume that they are going to be scumbags.... and I know you hate to assume.

    That makes no sense at all.

    The system can be changed by looking at todays current scumbags and deciding enough is enough.

    My question has little to do with unemployment. And I've never suggested only the unemployed are overcrowded. Read every single page of this thread and you won't see me saying that.

    I'm simply asking WHY they are overcrowded. (That's the fifth time by the way).

    You are fun. But honestly, I have never seen such a display of question dodging, ignorance and all out leftism (well, it's difficult to call it leftism, as thats an insult to the far left....dunno what to call it....insanity I suppose).

    So, we judge people not on what they do, but on what we think they might do. Ever read 1984? It IS fiction, by the way.

    Did you get that from the council handbook on housing because it turns out that same book is being ignored by councils.

    And there is no other answer than that which I have already given... They are overcrowded because the size of their property isn't sufficient to meet the demands of the household.

    Perhaps now is the time to give your answer to the question, rather than talking in never ending riddles.
