Bob Crow living in council house.

Post by jack straw »

Anyone see in the paper today about Bob Crow?
He earns £145,000 a year. That's about £2,788 A WEEK, and he lives in a council house.
Something wrong here I reckon.

Wonder what Hayes and Ward are earning? Keep paying those subs guys and gals! :left: :evil/mad :dcfo :ncfo

Why?
Social Housing isn't means tested.
You could argue that now that everyone has been encouraged to buy theirs,removing the safety net for a great deal of the low paid...that maybe they should be but that is an argument you should take up with your M.P....not Bob Crow.
At least the rent he pays goes directly to his local council,not into the pocket of some private landlord or through a mortgage...towards some fat bankers bonus.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

The Daily Mail - that's a paper that supports a Unions Mans/Socialists viewpoint - Not

TBH if I was a member of the RMT I'd rather he was in Council House rather than using my subs to get a subsidised mortgage. At least this way he is paying his way rather than relying on his members.

I think the plan is to shut all the Mailcentres and move the whole of the processing operation into Bob Crow's council house.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

" Anon, I am an accountant and taxpayer and I am completely against govt subsidies for housing, but take it from me, social housing costs the taxpayer +/- nothing.

If you want to get into notional cost of notional interest tied up in notional capital gain, well then you can also offset the annual notional capital gain and the net +/- figure is infinitessimally small either way.

NH, ta, I have plenty to bad things to say about trade union leaders, but Bob Crow's housing arrangements seem innocuous to me.' Sun :d'oh! comments http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/ne ... -rent.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; this is better than usual " "His rent, subsidised by taxpayers, is only £150 a week but would be £300 in the private renting sector according to estate agents." That's because too many estate agents and private landlords are nothing more than greedy vultures. Housing benefit pretty much has to pay the going rate - seriously - who the hell has 300 a week just to put a roof over your head before you even look at another bill?? No wonder folks [including myself] can't find work that pays enough to live.

heff

Thatcher sold council houses a vote winner , improved estates , but she also wanted " Municipal " Socialism " http://www.1in12.com/publications/archi ... chap6.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ( Re Pickles Bradford ) smashed ....however private landlords , developers etc pay the Tory Party a lot of money to be looked after with their rental market..............if Bob Crow had bought a private house he'd still get slaughtered ? hypocritical Tory Shapps has made plenty of money out of the housing bubble

Countdown said:
HB is still based on the market rents in that area. You can't choose to move into a penthouse and expect the Council to pay your full rent via HB.
most HB is paid to working people on low pay who rent in the privae sector. One of the main reasons why private rents are so high is that there is a shortage of social housing - therefore increasing the suplpy of social housing would help drive down private rents. .
