Is this right?

All that shows is that the crime rate is higher for some things in the uk, and higher for others in the us. Whilst I agree that our crime rate is very high and penalties for certain crimes are pathetic (not just violent crime either, fraud type crime sentences are ludicrously small) I'm not convinced that longer sentences will make a huge difference in the rate of offending.

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).

Are you saying that people who can only earn the minimum wage through no fault of their own should not be allowed to have children.

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

It's not a council handbook. It's legislation. Look it up.

If I was saying that, I would simply have said it.

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

You have not answered the question about councils discouraging people from putting their names on the housing list.

You have said it does not happen and the councils want big housing lists so they will be awarded money to build more houses.

I told you i have friends who have been told not to bother putting their name down for a house.

I told you were to find video evidence of a council employee actively discouraging people putting their name on the waiting list.

You called me and my friends liars because council guide lines do not allow this

DO YOU THINK THAT COUNCILS ARE DISCOURAGING PEOPLE FROM PUTTING THEIR NAMES ON THE HOUSING LIST. ?????????? can you see the question marks.

Yes thats a good idea.

Hard workers are rewarded.

Scumbags end up homeless and eating out of a bin.

Would need to save some houses for the genuinely disabled and ill people though.

I wish you were running the country.

I take it that your sarcastic response is an admission that your proposal for allocating social housing is illogical, impractical and unworkable.

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.

Care to provide me with video evidence like i did for you.
