Embrace the confusion!
by that do you mean that they retain power over housing that they gave away? Cake and eat it?

The new housing benefit regulations are going to make many many thousands homeless as it is.

Well government will have to step in and find a solution because that will be unnaceptable to the public at large.

We all know the approx. answer to those questions, thus it's just more Tory bullshit to appease middle England.

I would have thought a community sentence might have been more "big society"!

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.
Please tell me how middle England is so often appeased, they seem to pacified quite easily on a daily basis..!

One on one? You're crazy.
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 -
Wandsworth just wanted to be first out of the gate - it'll be very difficult to prove in court - serving a notice does not mean that the tenancy will end-

Demonstration been called for the 18th outside the Wandsworth council leaders house..
I find it hard to understand how people who support this actually think it's going to help. These are the same people who think there wasn't an impoverished and deprived underclass before, and now want to put all of them on the streets, with no access to benefits.
And these are people who, assuming the criminal justice system has done it's job properly, we know are happy to rob and loot stuff from shops.
What do they think is actually going to happen?

But really, no government can preside over vast increases in homelessness, even the current levels are not acceptable to my mind.

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.

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 Housing

Sitting on the bok of the day
I think LB Wandsworth still manage their own housing.
I will piss myself if they come up against some lawyer like Jan Luba and get the book thrown at them.
I suspect what has happened is that a notice of seeking possession has been served, which takes 28 days to expire, by which time the kid may or may not have been found guilty. Using the word 'eviction', while avoiding jargon for a non-housing audience, is disingenuous and sounds like macho posturing by Wandsworth's media team acting on the instruction of gung-ho councillors.
