What jobs are allowed to live in social housing?

I thought the idea was that they were for people who struggle to afford housing? I imagine he earns plenty.

My experience of social housing was during the period 1965-1974 only. I loved it.

Currently I own only one home. It is a lovely property at the top of the hill in an exclusive village where the social housing is located down the hill. They seem to be happy down there but I don't go there that often so can't be sure.

She’s called him a terrorist.

Social housing can, and should, have a part to play in our overall housing strategy. And it should not just be seen as an option only for people on very low incomes. It can act as an effective counter-weight to a lop-sided private market.

Standard approach - don’t like the message, attack the messenger.

This is such an obvious one, it shouldn’t even be up for debate. All homes should be properly insulated.

Agreed - when the message is as blatant as "I want my home insulated and I want somebody else to pay for it" there's no need whatsoever to attack the messenger.

But that’s not what he’s saying, is it. He’s saying he wants all homes insulated.

Fancy trying to argue against that.

But he's not got around to doing his, despite having enough money and time to organise a protest.

Why hasn’t he insulated his own home then?

This is correct. Providing cheap housing to people with a decent income frees up income that they can spend consuming things and so the economy rolls on.

This was my experience when I lived in social housing but it only works if there are well paid jobs.

The purpose of Insulate Britain is here guys. Not sure they could make it much simpler, you should be able to follow it.

But I agree, this fella isn’t he best spokesman for the group. Madeley is hardly Paxman, is he.

Skint. Too busy out protesting about saving the planet to worry about it.

He's not even Partridge. He's rubbish.

Did you not see the post above about attacking the messenger rather than listening to the message?

Yeah, but he’s made himself look a proper tit

Basically what RH said. I don’t disagree with the group’s aims but this dunce is terrible for their image

Its too expensive, apparently.

Either that or he's just an anarchist.

If he’d come out and said he can’t afford to insulate his home I’d have more respect for him - the cost of being green is a massive problem and most the population don’t earn enough to justify such a lifestyle

Not surprised the house hoarding boomers are supportive of getting free upgrades to their gaff

Didn’t someone above say he lives in rented accommodation?
