    not ironic, just lefty stupidity. why would you list those people as anti-social???? just the usual lefty hysterical painting of people as racists and xenophobes.

    I think you are missing the point in irony.

    how do you know they can afford to move? How do you know they don't have a large mortgage, that one of them no longer works due to having kids and they are struggling and in massive negative equity.

    Irresponsible to have such a large mortgage, that they couldn't afford and then to start a family tch.

    i didn't say they couldn't afford it. just a struggle. the negative equity is what would stop them moving.

    why has the house price crashed? because of the anti socials that moved in because the council says all their 6 kids need separate rooms etc.

    Is this likely to happen, really other than in isolated instances?

    MSE needs to balance intellectually in favour of Bankers Crime, Insurance Fraud, the sins of the middle and upper classes, prejudices, discrimination because alledgedly folks in the bashers above MSE now is invested in what's know as the Superior People.

    None of the above, but what about say:

    Conviction for antisocial behaviour.
    Conviction for violent assault.
    Conviction for drug dealing.
    Multiple convictions for public drunkeness.

    Would you have a problem with that?

    Seems that it could be quite simple to come up with an agreed definition of scum.
    What about sex offenders, wife beaters, fraudsters, burglars, robbers, Tories etc....you'd never end. Its probably simple for you because you seem to think simplistically;)

    There is a Paper somewhere that basically states the rich ie you and poor ie the so called scum live cheek by jowl rather than the well off in remote palaces. That sounds like where you live.

    Proposed MSE discussion directions threads that keep on and on and on and on etc on white collar crime, tax evasion, corruption, bribery, not paying workers wages, exploiting workers, abusing workers, sexual harassment, sexaul abuse, !!!!!philia just look at the respectable bbc!
    I could go on. Just think we need a bit of balance as to the continuous and boring discussions on the misdemeaners of the poor which conveniently blocks discussioin and exposure of crimes of the rich. anyone remember the 2008 financial crisis?
