Re: Council homes to have fixed term tenancies

I think the only stigma, is from snobs. It might surprise you Mancie, that I have lived in a Council house for several years of my adult life, it never bothered me.
After reading the full article, yes it is a Tory paper and I am a right wing capitalist pig, I kind of have to agree. This is about encouraging people to be self sufficient and standing on their own two feet. There are a lot of people in the UK who are able to work who just enjoy leeching the system dry. If they were encouraged to work, get some pride back in their lives then there would be more money for those who do need help the most.
It is by no means a perfect idea, but then what is.
