Paying only £80 a week rent for a house or flat is a privilege. That privilege can be withdrawn. If people do get eviced they will have to rent somewhere privately and pay what non-council tenants pay in rent. That means they'll have to get a job. That's what I would have to do if for some reason I lost my home. That's what lots of people who do not rely on the state for housing would have to do.

Others. not you, on here are generalising that this is from bad parents in the main, who live on council estates getting their rents paid for them.
I know a family who get only £260 every week, they are a couple with a daughter of 16 living at home.
Out of that they pay every week, £82 in rent and then they have council tax too.
They do nothing wrong, but when they hear the terminology of all politicians and the way the lower classes are smeared with these riots,before all the facts are known,then they are very angry indeed.
In this case, the Mother has stayed at home, and brought her daughter up,the Father has worked all his working life.
There are far more people like them but if on the off chance their daughter had been involved in the riots,people on here and some very extreme and cold politicians and media would be listing them as a target to be evicted too,not just the daughter.
Wrong to me that is, and if it's right,then the UK has a very hard future ahead of it. If the UK goes down this road, I think I would rather emigrate after Uni than support such a society.
(Before anyone pounces, my Parents are seeing me through Uni, not the taxpayer).
