Down below, the family from hell moved in. Both in their late teens, both unemployed, both showing no willingness to go and look for work. Young brats x3? (it was hard to tell) also present.
They shouted, screamed, played brand new X box games on their mega large TV, and I could hear them having screaming matches over whether to buy COD3 or food with their benefit. They also sold drugs on the side (allegedly). They had a staffy dog called Tyson (despite them being banned in the block). The dog was 'exercised' by opening the door their first floor flat, and letting it run amok on the ground floor communal gardens, including inside other peoples flats. The dogs were encouraged to shit where they wanted, and they refused to clean up as it wasn't their fault as 'the dogs got to go to the loo innit'.

I and others reported them to the police for smoking skunk so strong that I could smell it on the other side of the building - result, no interest as the police dont do cannabis arrests in my part of London. I reported them to social services about the fact that the parents were habitual drug users, more concerned with smoking pot than buying nappies. Again, no interest as the child wasnt directly at risk apparently. The only time the police came out was when they'd left their dog by itself for a week in the flat, and the dog sounded like it was dying. It was howling so loudly that the entire building (we have a good residents network) thought someone was in pain there. Eventually after the RSPCA refused to get involved (but did ask me for a donation!), and the Council couldnt get involved because apparently they couldnt enter abandoned flats, the police came out. They came out because I said I hadnt seen anyone for a week, there was an animal in pain, and I know they had a child there. This translated into 'Baby P' mode, and we had 2 cop cars and an ambulance outside within 10 minutes.

Eventually they were evicted for multiple breaches of their tenancy. The night before eviction, they turned on the taps, put plugs in the sink, and walked out the door, thus flooding the buildings lower floors.

So, I dont care how many bleeding heart liberals want to claim that babies will starve. Ultimately my experience, and that of people I know in social work is that those that genuinely need help will do everything possible to get help. They are a tiny minority, and the vast majority are lazy, workshy and filled with a sense of entitlement. I'm all for workhouses, forced labour and making people earn their benefits, because having lived with the hell that is the unemployed 'oooman riggghts' mob, I have no sympathy for them.

Your experience with these pond-life justifies sending this type of parasite to a workhouse.

If the problem of thses work shy parsites is not curbed,the working population will end up paying ever more taxes to keep the work-shy in the luxuary they think they are entitled to.Latest DSS budget in the ballpark of 200 billion Quid?.

As an aside,all benefits should be halted if the claimant tests positive for any narcotics.

Not just on council estates. I know a bloke who applied for a free car on the motability scheme seven times. Seven times his application was refused.

Prior to the eighth application, he engaged a "consultant" - a moonlighting member of staff from DWP. As if by magic, the eighth application was successful and a brand new 4x4 was sitting in the drive in no time.

What chance have you got when the government officials are involved in corruption like this? The icing on the cake is that the bloke runs a cash in hand business making him a tidy, tax free income.

Dave should bring back these and watch the number of applications drop through the floor.

I fully agree AM, how are people allowed BMW and Mercedes cars out of public money?

Motability started out with the best of intentions, but has now expanded into a monster thats too big to check or control.
With a fleet now numbering some 520,000, it is now the biggest buyer of new cars in the UK, and any attempt to curb it will have a significant knock on effect on the UK car manufacturing and sales business.

Well let's stop it and people can buy used cars.

Motability also fund the purchase of used cars, yet again, the biggest name in the game so a Government meddles with them at its economic peril.
