council house program

I had to laugh...

Picture the scene, young girl pregnant boyfriend jobless...

boyfriend interviewed...

Are you going to get a job....?

boyfriend "No point mate till I gets me a council house ,because if I get a job now and we get a council house miles away I would have to commute to work..Need a house first..."

Interviewed after getting a council house...

Are you going to get a job...?

Boyfriend "you joking mate got a new baby and got to decorate my new gaff"

I love these programs...

 

I was watching that! The same program with the guy that can't climb steps, uses a walking stick. Terrible health. Council needs to house me. Yet has a roof rack on his mobility car! I have to work with these wa&£!ers!

 

We've just moved into a new 'social housing' estate.
16 dwellings in the best possible position in the most expensive place outside Mayfair.
Almost perfect except for one of the above types.
No job, not going to get one, various blokes in and out at all hours, police called to a 'party' most weeks etc etc.
Everyone else on the entire estate are good honest (ish) folk with at least one job in every household and a good family environment.
Is the hope that living with socially responsible people will help these morons improve? Or are they hoping that we will just 'deal' with them and bury them in the new M40 widening program?

 

The guy who says he has to not turn the heating on and just pulls on a duvet to keep warm in winter ,then he gets into his expensive car ...

The woman who says too many foreigners are jumping the queue ,with herself having several multicolored children...

The guy who just looked at the neighborhood and drove straight by...

The injustice of the woman who would have had to pay extra money for a extra room although he kids are going to be in different rooms in a couple of years and her house where she lives now is getting firebombed..

tut tut...

 

There's a queue for her? Is she a looker?

There's a film called White Men Can't Jump

 

Double post.

 

Yes this is exactly what the local councils are hoping for, that responsible decent folk should have these muppets live amongst them in the hope that they will shame them into behaving. They are moving away from having separate social housing clumps within new estates and are trying to mix them in everywhere. They are still very easy to spot.

 

I love our estate its like Eastenders , yes I am council and proud ( despite being born in Chelsea ), today we had a raid a few doors up , sniffer dogs and everything.................see all the fun I miss when I am working ! I think my favourite was giving someone a bit of a hand out as they were struggling and them turning up with a brand new tattoo the following day .......................................or spending it on pub and then signing up for getting a food parcel ............still would not stop me assisting someone when they needed it .................but that really took the pixx. The shame is that this leads to labelling people in genuine needs tarring them with same brush. We all ( mostly) fall on hard times, we are all at risk of losing our jobs, homes ,someone can turn from strong to vulnerable in a phone call , a blink of an eye, sadly people abusing the system can sometimes lead to labelling for the others .............

 

good excuse for the bigger builders to get permission to park their houses where they like. And saves councils having to build them same old same old

 

It's a shame that the normal hardworking people have to live near these retards. i think anyone living in a council house convicted of a crime should be evicted and the house given to a deserving family, it would cause a lot of hardship for a while but people would soon learn that towing the line is better than being homeless

 

I may be hard working but hardly normal

 

Yeah, normally got 1 or 2 tatty old motors parked outside that they're always working on, they like a beer and are often unshaven.....

Hang on, Wheres my Council house!!??

 

It amazing how the social status of the council house has changed over the years. Post war building gave hope to thousands of families who had nowhere else to live other than extortionate private rents. Mortgages were few and far between as you needed a huge deposit to get on the ladder. A council house was something to aspire to and many families were housed all over the country. To qualify, you had to be married (to a womanif you were a man), have a job of some sort to afford the rent and be a "decent sort".
Funny how history repeats itself as we've now got no or little social housing, extortionate private rents and you need a huge deposit plus a stupidly high income to be considered for a mortgage. The only thing thats changed is people in social housing are now sometimes considered piriahs and must have some sort of retardness to end up in that situation. Complete role reversal.

 

Do you have a silver ford Mondeo with gaffa taped repairs to the bumper? Are your weeds above your front window cills? Do you leave your bins out front 365 days a year and use the bin store for bikes? Do you have a satellite dish? When you go to the shops for a four pack of cheap lager, have you drunk 2 before you get home?

You may qualify for social housing in my home town!

 

@Low n slow .......my mother said the same, my grandfather wanted a council house however could not get one so had to built his own. I often have other mothers at the school comment 'what you live round here?' , for numerous reasons but mostly shock as my voice , job , look somehow they feel does not add up. However, I as many made mistakes in my youth and did not buy, now can not afford to and private is not secure enough and would on one wage have me out of pocket but it is something I am considering. How we got a council house, my husband lived in a squat , when it was about to be knocked down they re-homed him and his then partner he was 19....................he is now 50........................I would move in a heart beat, although a good community on the whole...............

 

that is my council house !

 

No, fair point, However my television is bigger than my bookcase, so i still feel that i should be afforded a council house.



I did actually grow up on 'states' in council houses, but that was back when you could leave your doors open and felt perfectly safe out at night. Mainly because all the no good thieving little towrags used to have the good sense not to sh*t on their own doorsteps.

 

my neighbour is 20, two kids, different fathers, none of then currently around, parties every other week during which i have to "patrol" to ensure no damage is done, stays up to 0300 most nights sitting in the garden with music playing because her and her mates dont have to get up and claims to have no money. shes off to tunisia tomorrow on her holidays. constant rubbish thrown over my fence and al the council do is say "keep a record". I would love to sit outside the council housing workers house at 0300 in the morning emptying fag butts and empty bottles onto her garden whilst listening to loud music

 

Is she fit, can you get me her number

 

I grew up on what we now call the 'reservation'. My mum bought her council house under the right to buy scheme and still lives there. All the trouble on our estate stopped when I moved out, back then we really were latch key kids and most of my mates used to have their door keys hanging on strings inside the letter boxes.
