Stop blaming the people living in them, instead direct your wrath at whoever made the policies...

You're all taking out your bitterness on the wrong people, it's not like they have any degree of control over the price the rent is set at is it, for Gods sake look at yourselves all sniping at council house tenants. You should be ashamed of yourselves, you have no idea of their personal circumstances, or whether or not they pay full rate or not.

If you want to bleat and moan about the 'unfairness' of it - and you're not wrong it IS unfair, well guess what?

Life is unfair.
The world is unfair.

I suggest you cry about it to someone who can change it, and not the poor sods who live there and have absolutely no power to do anything about it.

And think before you so blithely say 'Oh well just move out then and let someone else have it' These people will have jobs, kids, family, infrastructure where they are, they can no more just up & go than you lot can.

The stereotypical resentment from some people on this board is frankly mind boggling, I guess the current Govt did a really good job of 'divide and rule' didn't they.

I've been a house owner, I've been a private renter, and now I'm a Council Tenant. I pay full rent.

I've also been employed in middle management, I've been bankrupt, I've been divorced, I've had all sorts of events happen to me that I've had no control over at all. Some of you will to over your lifetime. Think. Before you speak so casually against other people whose lives you have no real idea about. Like mine.
