Fair enough

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that council houses are solely for those who are unemployed ,needy in some way or are immigrants, that has never been the case ,council houses have always been an alternative to home ownership for those not in a position to own a home

Which you don't seem to be (and possibly haven't been)
I understand what you are saying but with the lack of council housing and the many needy out there (who are in unstable jobs, or no jobs), I don't think that someone with a stable job and income should be in one
