Carjackings today

Not giving a **** about anyone, as long they get their drugs and their booze and woe betide you ever refuse them a cigarette.

 

The discussion wasn't about living opposite it.

 

Well if adults wouldn't be happy living opposite, I can't imagine people would be too happy about kids playing opposite either.

 

Well now you know

 

Unfortunately we have to have these places.
The bail hostel is still on the corner. Of queens isn't it? That's been there for years.
Anyway mr ndenu sounds a right arsehole. Attacked an autistic kid a few years ago.

 

And if the original post had said 'whose idea was it to house people convicted of dangerous assault and supply of drugs opposite a playground where kids play?' then I wouldn't have questioned it.

But it didn't say that.

People seem to be reacting as if I have said something stupid and / or offensive here when I merely questioned the vilification of people who are unfortunate enough to not be able to house themselves for what could be a multitude of tragic reasons that would not pose a threat to playing children.

 

I wouldn't be happy living opposite any school playground, so **** knows where they're going to play.

 

As I said, I live very nearby and so maybe I'm a little bit touchy on the subject.

 

Not to be pedantic, but it's not a school playground, it's a park.

 

Depends why they aren't able to house themselves. If you would be happy to have a load of people sat around drinking cheap cider near your kids fine.

 

So BCC wouldn't be happy living opposite a school playground but would be opposite a hostel. His experience of schoolkids must have been traumatic.

 

When did I say I'd be happy living opposite a hostel?

 

Best make sure kids never go into a family friendly pub ever again.

 

You do have to wonder why a lot of people (not all) are homeless. I'm 100% certain a friend would put me up. Don't they have friends or family? If not why not? There has to be a reason why nobody will do that for you.

And before anyone gives me **** for this, I'm not talking about immigrants.

 

Bit different though. A pub is a controlled, licensed venue with trained staff and management. A park is, well, a park.

 

He said 'If you would be happy to have a load of people sat around drinking cheap cider near your kids fine' and that applies to pubs.

 

What if the cause of their problem was family and / or friends?

 

A waste of time making reasoned responses to BCC.
