/OT's resident Time Bandit in 'starts shit thread' shocker.
I've been reading with interest about the attempts by Newham Council to dump their povvoes on Stoke, claiming that they lack the necessary povvo housing for them all.

I doubt this severely (I once accidentally went through Newham and there seemed to be more than enough shit housing to go around), but it got me thinking. On R4 there was some 'expert' saying that these relocations led to people staying several families to a flat to avoid leaving and boo hoo poor people etc.

To my mind, if someone is offering you enough money to live on (albeit only just) and a home, surely you should just say 'thank you very much' and take the free life offered, no matter where it is? Do these people have the right to moan about it. I think they're cheeky cunts and fuck 'em, grubby little oiks.

Is that perhaps a little harsh of me?

Alt: Rain, eh? Cuh! Unbelievable.

I think it's a bit harsh of you, but then you're Monty and I'm a bleeding heart Liberal.
I think if they have friends/family/roots where they are, the problem is only going to get worse by isolating them away from any limited support network they may have. People with drink/drug/health problems will only get worse and be a bigger drain if they don't have people around them.

That said, I think it's just an attempt by Stoke Council to raise the quality of people in the area anyway...

If they don't like being relocated then they can try being homeless instead.

If you expect the state to fund you then you should have no right whatsoever to be picky about it. If you don't like what they offer you get off your fat Iceland-frozen-food-consuming lazy workshy arse and get a job. Then use your salary to provide a home in whatever godforsaken chavvy shitville you chose to exist in.

hold on a minute
i'm no expert here, but i'm fairly sure that the majority of people living is social housing aren't doing so 'free'. generally it is the cheapest, nastiest accomodation possible at a more affordable rent

these people generally provide essential services that most of us would struggle to cope without, they're the bin men, the street sweepers, the child minders, the nurses and the generally underpaid underclass who struggle to get by while doing jobs that none of us want to do.
If housing prices hadn't been allowed to escalate to ridiculous proportions over the last 40 years these people could probably afford to buy their own houses, but the greed and money-grabbing of those in power, the developers and those who paid £40,000 for a house 25 years ago and now want £400,000 for it are pricks

approx 38,570 unemployed in social housing as a percentage of the 1.33 million total
(i am aware that this is only an average and unlikely to reflect a true figure as the cahnces are more unemployed people live in social housing than the average)
(, Wed 25 Apr 2012, 9:51, Reply)

Population of London is 7,800,000. Total UK population is 62,262,000.
Working UK population is 33,600,000 which is roughly 54% of the total.

On this basis there is a working population in London of 3,900,000.
There are 2,650,000 officially classed as unemployed (though in reality the number is far hgher), this is 8% of the available working population. So 312,000 people in London are unemployed.

There are 240,000 people living in Newham. Assuming the level of unemployment is line with the national average then there are around 19,200 people in this borough who are unemployed.

So we can kick almost 20,000 cunts out to Stoke.

Unrelated
But my Kid got in to our first choice school which is great because the other two on her list were Godbotherer schools that my wife put down without asking me first.

Rain IN APRIL?!?!?
I think the problem is two fold;
1: Not enough housing in london
2: Commuting in and out of london is either shit or expensive, if commuting from Reading/MK/Northampton/Luton/Guildford was under an hour and about £1k-£2k a year people wouldn't be so desperate to live within the M25 freeing up housing.

Reading is a bout half an hour if memory serves
but that's to Paddington, getting across London from there takes longer.

That I would not know, but it doesn't surprise me.
It's probably down to privatisation, or Thatcher or summat like that.
