How To Get A Council House, Tv Last Night

[trt]

Maybe its because I dont live in a mixed multi-culture area, I think I would find it difficult to go to a Council Housing Office, and have to give my personal details, to someone who may not have been born in this Country.

There was not one white person on camera, helping these people, who may or may not, have a genuine reason for them to help.

Must have missed where the Mother was, of the 3 kids, who the Father was looking after, in his Mothers house?

Why was the Indian Mother with a teenager daughter, given a large 2 bed accommodation, yet the man with 3 kids nothing?

Why would it bother you to talk to someone who is not British by birth?

Employees are chosen on the basis that they are competent to complete their duties, I don't see why their ethnicity would be an issue?

Are you an older citizen?

They must be repeats the programme hasn't had a new series since last year so I can't recall any details.

If I needed Housing advice urgently, I talk to anyone employed by my Council.

My hospital consultant is considered one of the best in his field and he was born in Africa - I'm very thankful he chose to become a UK citizen :)

I haven't seen the programme but I'm guessing that the father of three kids could continue living in his mother's house and wasn't homeless or overcrowded according to the rules.

Sorry, should have put it another way.

It would bother me, to ask for help for accommodation, to someone who was not born here, or British by birth.

I wouldn't have that problem, but we are all different.

[fiction-factory]

t would bother me if they (or anyone born here) were not capable of doing the job but I am not sure that was an issue here I'm not sure how you can tell that the staff were not born here

[ummmm]

When my cousin split with his OH she spent 6 weeks in a B&B with the two kids and got housed in a 3 bed brand new house.

It was overcrowded HC, he was sleeping in the lounge, his kids shared one bedroom.

I didnt see all the program but what I did see seemed biased in favour of ethnics. The landlord of the indian woman & teen dter said she had lied her way to get council property.
