they have been able to do this for a while but rarely do personally if it stops us getting the eyesores that appear because of it now i will be happy
You have to say to yourself if I buy this property I've got to make sure I live in it or they'll take it off me and move somebody in.
How can anyone think this is a good idea? they won't think it's a good idea when the family that moves in are the ones from Hell.

I've got another car parked on my drive that I don't always use. it's worth a few grand but maybe they want that as well to give to somebody that needs it more than I do?

If this goes through and they take up all the houses, they'll be knocking on our doors next with a family that's moving in with us for a few weeks of hot baths and warm beds.

and we'll let it happen because that is what us British people have turned into under this government.
