People have to live somewhere, unless the intention is to make these people homeless.

We all know the approx. answer to those questions, thus it's just more Tory bullshit to appease middle England.
It is. Of course it is. But I think they'll still want to make some examples for the tabloid headlines. I've been avoiding the media this week, but I just read the Mirror in the takeaway and it thoroughly depressed me. Not a single word about any social context to the riots, just pure condemnation of criminality. And that was the Mirror. I shudder to think what the Sun is saying.We all know the approx. answer to those questions, thus it's just more Tory bullshit to appease middle England.

they are on dodgy ground, afaik, there is a locality clause - you need to have committed the crime local to the tenancy, or the member of your household needs to have committed their crime, local to the tenancy - what will happen in court will be an argument between barristers about what is local -As i read it, they can start eviction proceedings due to breach of tenancy contract, but the final decision must be made on the basis of the above legal stuff - except in certain cases of special tenancy agreements.
slightly corrected to reflect what I think will happen :/Well government will have tostep in and find a solutiondo nothing because that will beunacceptable to the public at large as it will only impact benefit scroungers.

Of course not, which is why most of what has come out of the mouths of ministers in the last few days has been pure hot air. But I do think examples will be made for publicity purposes. Pour encourager les autres.
But really, no government can preside over vast increases in homelessness, even the current levels are not acceptable to my mind.
true, but i think the mod of a large part of the public would see it this way though, unfortunately.

if the mother is a council tenant - then this might save her tenancy - desperate times - even though i think the council would have difficulty evicting the mother of a rioter - she will not have the benefit of 17 years working in HousingNot only are the landlords trying to evict the rioters..
.. their mothers are handing them over to the police!

What gives councillors the power to call the odds like this when they have singularly abdicated their responsibilities for social housing?
