Looking after one's own: isn't than another way of saying something else?

You also seem to have a problem with those of us who read or have an education. With that sort of attitude, debate or discussion is impossible.

If he's a socialist, maybe he's in the Khmer Rouge?

I compared him to Pol Pot awhile ago. He got really annoyed and I don't know why because his views on education are very, very close to those held by Mr Pot.

After L&L's and beckyp's constant attempts to derail this thread, let's get it back on track>

Yesterday, on Question Time, Alan Johnson accused Margaret Hodge of using the language of the BNP. Indeed, those who insist that 'immigrants' are given top priority in terms of housing, have never once provided a shred of evidence for their assertion.

Do you live in the UK nino? London perhaps? Ever heard of the Homeless persons act?
Ever looked at how Social housing is allocated? Ever been on a Council Estate? Ever talked to anyone who works in Housing?

What has this got to do with anything?

It's true, you share many of mr Pot's ideas on 'privilege' and education. Then there's your "re-education camps"....

I wonder how you feel about folk who wear glasses? Are all of them 'intellectuals'?

 

[nino_savatte]

I know more about social housing than you do about socialism, baldy.

I can answer yes to all but one of those.

The legal framework - The Homeless Persons Act 1977, the Housing Act 1996 and Homelessness Act 2002 - defines who is entitled to receive permanent housing by/on behalf of a local authority.

The main homelessness duty is owed to people who have a 'priority need' and are not 'intentionally homeless' (that is, judged as having made themselves homeless through their own actions).

Priority need groups include households with children and people who are vulnerable as a result of old age or mental or physical disability (set out in Homelessness Code of Guidance for Local Authorities). People not in these categories are only entitled to receive advice and assistance on how to find suitable accommodation.

The shortage of affordable housing in London and many parts of southern England has reached crisis point, with a chronic lack of affordable homes. Record numbers of households - over 93,000 - are now living in temporary accommodation.

What is your point btw?

Oh and I do live in this country...though what that has to do with owt is anyone's guess.

I used to work in housing too...why baudouin would think that this is relevant, again, is anyone's guess.
