Comment on Labour Policies : Labour Housing Policy by Eleg.

I agree with the OP those like David who have always had access to Council housing and the system will never understand how unfair the system is, particularly when unemployed people continue to get social housing. Housing benefit unless you are unemployed does not cover the full rent for example I get housing benefit and it covers £240 when the rent is £1100 leaving me £870 to pay each month if I was a council tenant I would be paying half of that, it is ludicrous that working people are having to subsidise unemployed council tenant’s housing through their taxes as well as paying extortionate rents. To see a classic example of this ridiculous system that people take advantage of around the corner from me there is a council estate full of flash cars and some send their kids to private school, how can they afford this? Because we are paying their way in life for them!!!
