It is a shame however as you rightly say that people abuse both the properties and the welfare system that ensures these things are available.

I used charity as a word those opposed to Council Housing would describe it when trying to understand why Labour has supports the policy.

As a Labourite I believe it is an important aspect of living and we should aspire to provide decent 'regulated and not for profit' housing to all who want it and respect it.

To all who want it and respect it, well lots want it Graham, but do they all respect it, I think not. As some one who does live in a council house (or was a council house) I treat it as if it was my own as I'm the one who lives there, but there are those who say its not mine and I don't give a stuff

Allelujah, Jaysay! You and Graham actually agree on something!

I agree with Jaysay. It should only be available to those that respect it.

And those people would be who exactly ? considering if you start to turn people away guess what the first call will be ? yep...... "I've got rights you know !" so how can you balance that one ? what criteria will you work off ?

You know something? I almost feel like I know Kaz (as I like to call her) already. When she eventually drops into the Oak Lea for a prematch drink (as I'm sure she will now she's a local), I can just picture the scene...Cashy, me, the lads, Graham, Kaz, the beer flowing, a real spirit of bonhomie and lively political discussion in the air and when she hears Cashy's jokes...I can't wait to see her reaction!

They say all publicity is good publicity.

At least that's what Jaysay used to think, because he used to refuse to post the name of any opposition candidate.

We've all tried to give this outsider to the area, a more human face, in this thread.

Her first post well probably be one of thanks.

They say a week's a long time in politics.

A week ago we didn' even have a Conservative candidate, now we're seeing lots of media coverage about Ms. Buckley. The press, local forums, blogs, even on YouTube.

Wow! That was nearly amusing, well done the team that threw it together, I really liked the link mans impression of andrewB, did you use prosthetics to get the look completely right? or are you just a computer facsimile?

I hope you all take the time to join us here on accyweb, it could add some alternative humour and allow our older jokers some time off.

Thanks for that rindy.

Alternative humor? Wouldn't that belong in Over 18s?

Well Wyn I would be very surprised if Graham and myself didn't agree on something like this, all right minded people would feel the same
