mk2_escort_chick Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 I dont think dean fully understood about council houses and like he said he didnt mean 2 offend. A girl that i went to school with has got a 1 bed council flat that she shares with her 1 1/2 yr old son and bf. She found it extremely difficult to get that, what with all the imigrants getting 1st dibs. Getting ur foot onto the property ladder is extremely difficult. We'd love our own pad, but it'll be ages b4 we could ever afford anything!

bmxdave Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 It seems these days it really is best to be a lazy fook, not work, take drugs, have millions of kids, steal, rape, and not pay car insurance. Youll have a far better life then anyone who actually works for a living.

NHR115 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 My cousin is 26 and has 5 kids (all aged under . She managed o get her grubby paws on a gorgeous private rent house which is paid for by the council and she brags about the £30k a year she earns on benefits. Her partner (who is the kids Dad) works too but not enough to have the benefits cut. She's not worked a day in her bloody life!!! I'm at uni and trying to better myself so Neil and me can have a half decent life and i cant even get a bleeding busary from the government. Its getting ridiculous now.
mk3cokebottle Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 it sucks dont it im gonna buy a turban and get a polish driving license

Its getting ridiculous now. if you are finding it difficult mate to fund your uni costs try the princes trust , prodominatley they fund young people between the ages of 18-25 with funding to start there own business but they can also help you loads with uni costs it would be well worth you giving them a shout mate , if you dont want to ask them for help then just ask them to press all the buttons that need pressing for you to get a grant as they are probably the biggest young persons trust/support group in england www.princes-trust.org.uk i hope this helps you
