They either need to cross train into something where they can then afford to live where they please, or move on and follow the labour market.
Actually this would kill two birds with one stone. 1) Move the lazy tw*ts from their DSS HMO rented properties near the city centre to rented accomodation where they can afford to live from their income on a fruit farm. 2) That city house gets sold on the open market to a working family.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

It is time we stopped pandering to these people and started making them productive members of society.
It will take a approx 1 generation for people to realise that if they are not going to support themselves then they will become a ward of the state and be treated as such.
Also bring back workhouses!Comment
