Same here
I know a couple of people who genuinely deserve the benefits they're on (for medical reasons), but there are too many people who take the piss.

Yeah me too, a girl I know was just about to have her baby when her bloke fell down the stairs and put his arm through a window, slicing all his tendons
so he couldn't use his hand. They had so much trouble getting the council to pay their rent while he recovered, yet there are fat lazy slags next door who seem to get it all for free.

When I was with my ex, I looked into buying a place here, that was part ownership
They said I'd have to be registered on the council housing list, even though I didn't want a council flat. I tried to apply, and they said I earned too much, but I only just earned enough for the banks to lend me the mortgage required for the part ownership. Catch 22.

really it was because they didn't want your type living there.

That was during the awkward period of my life where I insisted on punctuating my sentences with groin thrusts.
