DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 I think he was joking m8. I didnt take him as being serious. He was being sarcastic re previous stereotyping posters on some of the BNP type threads... or at least thats what I thought he was doing. Apologies if I got it wrong. Never voted B.N.P. in my life, and never will!
lou Posted 21 July 2009 Author Posted 21 July 2009 Never voted B.N.P. in my life, and never will! I wasnt suggesting you were... if you read it again I was saying you were taking the piss out of those who did!! I was defending you!
lou Posted 21 July 2009 Author Posted 21 July 2009 Has he heard of emoticons..............................................!!!!! Fair comment Im beginning to wish Id just not said anything

Apologies if you thought I was having a go at you. I only meant to point out a fact. Shouldn't have used the quote/reply box. My error.
Phube Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 When I read grandma I was expecting a little on lady about 70... but 48!! I love the media. As mentioned above, it's not her house. Turf her out!!

Edmund Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Our council don't force people to leave in a situation like this. What they would do in this case, would be to offer her a two bedroom house, pay removal costs, and give her £1,000.-£1500.I know this would be the case because I work in conjunction with our council's Housing Dept., and have come across numerous such cases. No way would this grandmother be forced to leave. Whats the money for?

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 21 July 2009 Posted 21 July 2009 Whats the money for? The money is used as an incentive to encourage them to vacate, and move to a smaller property. They can do what they want with it! I personally don't think this should be done, but that's the way it is down here.

I personally don't think this should be done, but that's the way it is down here. Absolutely ridiculous. Being given a house for zilch should be plenty an incentive. It is actually quite scary how much money the council waste. I was working at one of those council meets in Evington where they discuss how money should be spent and some of the stuff they were coming out with was ridiculous. Im not going to go into details but most people would agree that the money could be better spent. I was doing a job for the council so couldn't get involved but wanted to butt in. Also one of the most boring things ive been to. No doubt the councilors were getting payed to be sat there as well as me Council Tax. Meh
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 22 July 2009 Posted 22 July 2009 http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/news...il/article.htmlMy view is she was given a 4 bed house to raise her family when she needed it, now she lives alone its only right to go to a family. I do have some sympathy for her but I cant feel its right for basically one person to take up such a big property. Im guessing this is one that will wind up a few people "never look a gift horse in the mouth" I think it's fair enough aslong as they re locate her to a more appropriate house. If you don't like it buy or rent a house that suits you.
Webbo Posted 22 July 2009 Posted 22 July 2009 Absolutely ridiculous. Being given a house for zilch should be plenty an incentive. It's hardly free, she'd still have to pay rent. The money is used as an incentive to encourage them to vacate, and move to a smaller property. They can do what they want with it! I personally don't think this should be done, but that's the way it is down here. There are costs involved in moving. If you havn't asked to move then it's not fair that you should be forced to pay all those costs yourself.
Edmund Posted 22 July 2009 Posted 22 July 2009 It's hardly free, she'd still have to pay rent. Really? I thought council housing was free of charge? If thats the case then why does she not just rent out a house of similar size from a property owner? Im not clued up on council housing so you may have to elaborate.
