VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Edwin|DATE|1363340361|CONTENT|We love being retired. Wouldn&#039;t have the time to spare to go to work now.

The main &quot;problem&quot; for retired and working people is not enough cash. I heard a Tory of whatever actual political party talking about the working poor. Obscene that if you work you are poor. And that hideous race to the bottom whereby if someone on benefits has more than gruel to eat and a rabbit hutch to live in that it is somehow unfair to someone in work.

One of the points of Council housing was dignity, thus most council houses had what was deemed the minimum for a decent family life with dining room, sitting room and an adequate garden. OK, ways of life change but everybody needs a spare room. Perhaps though the poor are not supposed to have hobbies, visiting relatives and all the other reasons that a home needs more than the bare minimum for shelter.

There is a disgusting trend that tries to make the beneficiary of a particular service responsible for others using that service thus raised subscription charges are justified as being necessary to provide other health services or residents of social housing must lose their homes because others are in need of social housing.

As it says in the Good Book &quot;Oh Hazel this is a dreadful place&quot;, well Watership Down is a good book.
