So said British Prime Minister David Lloyd George (1863-1945) and now Caroline Flint and the good members of JC plan on bringing the workhouse back. Jesus wept!no words needed.no flippancy nor excuses..
and THATS why we voted SNP !

I think most of you are making a few mistakes here.
Most council tenants I have seen have been in their houses for flats for years.
There nothing wrong with most of them, they’re just sitting there rotting to dead.
I think it’s a mistake apply current housing rules to people who moved in before 1995.
We all need to face the fact that most of us would never dream of living in a council house or flat.
Most of us would never get on the waiting list.
There is a simple reason for council houses being in short supply, most gov’s since 1980 have been pushing home ownership and if you build more council homes there is no reason for people to buy there own homes is there?
