55% of the housing budget goes to private landlords.
Recipe for disaster and it makes zero sense.
Literally making the gap between the âclassesâ insurmountable.

Now this is the very definition of entitlement.

Or a bit of hardship,
Letâs use this case as an example. Assumimg she gets a social housing unit, how much rent will this lady pay to the local authority in your estimation? She doesnât work and receives benefits, i.e. income, from the state. The paltry amount she will pay to the local authority in ârentâ is from income she is receiving from the state. Thatâs a âfreeâ house or free accommodation in any sense of the word.
It may offend your sensibilities to call the situation as it actually is, but it is essentially getting a free house.

How much would you earn if you were minding 6 kids??
Dunno chief. Iâm not really in the mood for serious debating tonight. Iâm just sticking my beak in. Iâll let ye at it

Remember the anti-abortionists saying that âwe can do so much better for women with crisis pregnanciesâ?
All weâve had from them on this thread is vilifying a woman for having six children and imploring for her to be left out on the street and her kids forcibly taken off her.
Funny definition of âwe can do so much betterâ.
âSo much betterâ amounted to nothing more than âtreat them like dogsâ.
EItâs hard to know what to believe about this woman her large family, housing issues seem to me to be the symptom rather than the cause of this ladyâs problem.
This can go either one of two ways. She might get the accommodation solution she needs now and go about her life quietly, or it might end up with her being a pariah. I hope sheâs clever enough to choose the former, sheâs not able to play the PR gameâŚ

By the way just when youâre on to it. I paid 1200 a month when my 2 were in creche and that was 6 years ago
Yes, mate.
Oh I know that but one of the reasons given why she didnât take it was that there was only space for five kids. Was just wondering how many beds that translates to
Iâm not surprised, yet child rearing is so devalued that lads here want her to go out to work with six
