Wandsworth (again)

What can you expect from "spotlessly clean" [sarc emoticon] councils?

Joined up government?

I understood they were scheduled for eviction before the riot according to the radio this morning.

"Scheduled for eviction". Nice thing to have hanging over you. I think I might get a bit negative about society in those circumstances.

I don't know what they've done to be on the "schedule for eviction", but how is throwing losers onto the street going to help anything?

Could somebody explain? I'm sure someone will tell me I'm being stupid, so let's take that as read, shall we, and just address the issue of homeless people?

Baggy I'm not sure what I think about this ...apart from it was something Cameron stated would happen.

Councils can evict tenants ...I think for a variety of reasons ...but few make the effort ...even to help those living as neighbours whose lives have been made a misery. However ...one news account that I read earlier today was talking about their mis-use of benefits ...that they could rent 'privately'.

Who knows! But ...it didn't seem to be a case of 'out on the street' or 'homeless'.

No doubt tomorrow's papers ...of a "certain persuassion", will be full of it ...but then why should we believe what papers print?

Surely the local council have a duty of care to the family with them having
school age children,putting them out of their home is only going to make the
situation worse I would think,and in no way am I condoning what the child has been accussed of,but it could ignite bad feeling all over again IMO.
