I must have lived in a different Britian to most posters on here.. I've never thought of a council house as some sort of gift from the welfare state that dependend on anyones income...why should any family living in council housing be subjected to an earnings test every 10 years?....this stinks to high heaven of a Thatcerite policy of turning council houses into temp accomodation .. and forcing normal rent paying working people into the private landlords slums of the 30's... it stinks ... we all know it does but yet you have those that defend these policies..
