Yeah, that’s what we all do when we can’t afford to live somewhere.
Many of us also did the unthinkable, move to a different part of the country to get a job.

I love it when people travel to a place and throw themselves on the local council to find them somewhere to live.

I mean… obviously. I don’t understand why there is *any* social housing in London. Totally bananas.

The system is finished ✔️ let’s pray for a solution soon.

I liked the people who were in the tower fire earlier in the week. When interviewed, they started strong with the hand out expectations. “We are TRAUMATISED, the council is going to need to get us an actual HOUSE, we simply can’t go back to a flat”

UK: If you can’t afford to live here, fuck off to somewhere more affordable.
NHS workers & carers: OK, we’re off to cheapside or abroad so there is no-one to staff your hospitals or care for your elderly in the too expensive areas of the country based on our payslip’s affordability.
UK: Wait, not like that!

Alright then. If people in this country can’t live in their own capital because, they’re not foreign rich people then we don’t want your godforsaken capital sucking anymore of the UKs lifeblood and money away.

London has been socially cleansing for years, knock down an estate, rebuild it as luxury apartments that the rich buy, elephant and castle, barking, bermondsey, rotherhithe, woolwhich, harlsden, thamesmead, peckham, hackney, isle of dogs etc , it’s the reason crime rates in some of the outer boroughs have skyrocketed like enfield, dagenham, romford, croydon, bromley, like a domino effect, move the poor from the estates to the fringes and home counties, move the rich in, and on and on it goes

I‘ve seen this shit before many times. When the tide turns and they desperately need people to return, than it‘s too late. Council should go and fuck themselves, because all they are doing is fucking up their own cities / towns.

Wouldn’t be such a problem if they weren’t so many immigrants in London

Social worker here in the north.
We regularly get families placed in our area by the London councils. The councils will pay for travel and a month’s rent and move homeless London families to the north and leave them completely unsupported. Often in private rentals with no white goods, carpets, poorly maintained etc.
The London councils even tell the families to go and ask for help from the new council.
Also had it where social workers in London or housing departments in London threaten to remove children from families unless they accept a rental property in the north.
Also had it where a London social worker forced an immigrant family to move to our area. Referred them to our area and then left them completely high and dry. The kids didn’t even have any beds and the London social worker just told the family that the new council had to help them.
