.....If they charged council housing at market rent, then upped the housing benefit to compensate, you'd solve the problem...
I grew up on a council estate. Back then, the 60s and 70s, the people on the estate represented a cross section of society. My neighbour worked in a factory, his neighbour had a paper shop, I remember there was a GP, my dad was a milkman and my Mum managed to get a job at the Bank of England when we were in our teens.Council houses should be for the most needy,rents should be set to a percentage of income.....that would stop the likes of Bob crow (now deceased) and many others I’ll wager living in a council house whilst earning £120000 a year, that ain’t right
Who is Bob Crow?I grew up on a council estate. Back then, the 60s and 70s, the people on the estate represented a cross section of society. My neighbour worked in a factory, his neighbour had a paper shop, I remember there was a GP, my dad was a milkman and my Mum managed to get a job at the Bank of England when we were in our teens.
I think it’s for this reason that the estate was clean and the houses were kept well and the gardens cared for.
The problem nowadays is that in a lot of areas, social housing is so rare that only the very needy get it. This means that you don’t get a cross section of society living together, no professional or skilled people, only the very poorest or neediest. They’re not pleasant places to live, so the more reasonable people move out.
So, I firmly believe that the rents should be reasonable, not related to wages, that’s what housing benefit is for. And you should be able to keep them for life, regardless of whether or not your circumstances change.
Oh, and Bob Crow never earned £120 000.
RMT union big wig PeteWho is Bob Crow?

Thank you, should have known that being a TU rep in my past Dohhhh memory is going.,A trade unionist Pete, now dead.
What chance have we got as a country....Just in case anyone is actually looking for the content of the labour manifesto.. you need to be aware of this.
Tories set up fake Labour manifesto website as party's disinformation spree continues
Conservatives pay Google to promote labourmanifesto.co.uk website in search resultswww.independent.co.uk
Oh, and Bob Crow never earned £120 000.
Whilst the country sits back and lets themselves be manipulated by these means, none whatsoever.What chance have we got as a country....
I'm happy to leave Midwest, but not on the Tories no deal package.Yeah I’ve read it was more like £145,000, as a complete package. In his words, he said he was worth it.
Voting LD Andy, hoping for a Remain? I’ve moved on, firmly Brexit now.
I remember when Charles married Diana Tel, there was a big call for the queen to abdicate so that Charles could become king. Give it 20 or 30 years and it will be the same with William and his kid.not whilst Charles is still the heir to the throne, talking to plants. .

Makes a mockery of equality and equal rights doesn’t it...I see Labour are planning on giving £54bn to a group of WASPY women who lost out on their pensions age being raised from 60 to 65.
Would this lead to men being able to challenge this decision and claim discrimination based on gender.
Gender doesn't even exist anymore, what if the man identifies as a woman?
That's what I was driving at.Makes a mockery of equality and equal rights doesn’t it...
I must apologise... I got the figure wrong ! I've just checked it and according to an interview in The Guardian from 7/2/2014 he was on a salary package of £145,000Oh, and Bob Crow never earned £120 000.
No... you're wrong. The reason is that back in those days, if you were given a council house you considered yourself very lucky !! That's why you looked after it. These days, everyone is 'entitled' to it ! A rather different mindset.I grew up on a council estate. Back then, the 60s and 70s, the people on the estate represented a cross section of society.

As you say 'salary package' this includes employers NI and pension. You said he was 'paid' £ 150 000.I must apologise... I got the figure wrong ! I've just checked it and according to an interview in The Guardian from 7/2/2014 he was on a salary package of £145,000

That's totaly wrong, there were far more council and social houses available in the 60s and 70s.No... you're wrong. The reason is that back in those days, if you were given a council house you considered yourself very lucky !! That's why you looked after it. These days, everyone is 'entitled' to it ! A rather different mindset.
The 'entitlement culture' yet again !
