Because they were moved to the new improved accommodation (not evicted) before the builder bothered to tell the council his work schedule had slipped, don't sign out the outrage bus until you know the full story - it's a good job the press don't do similar shock-horror reporting over non-events in the mil either....
And they are paying exactly the same rent.....facts laddy, facts
Strange - the news item gives the precise rent paid by the previous single occupant (single occupancy only permitted), and the lower rent paid by the cohabiting council official.
The council has conspicuously not issued a press release refuting the alleged facts. Facts, laddy????
Actually, I think this thread deserves eviction, and rehousing in JB.
