    Hammersmith & Fulham Council
    Manchester Council
    New Charter Housing Trust
    Nottingham Council
    Salford Council
    Southwark Council
    Waltham Forest Council
    Wandsworth Council
    Westminster Council

    F451 your knowledge of events in the last millenium seems comprehensive.

    Your knowledge of the use of the English language however needs some work.

    I posted a question and not a statement F451...

    As you know you have much more knowledge than me.

    You are turning into Marvin the paranoid android F451. Maybe your new ID?

    Most of the later rent strikes were against local authorities though F451. Hardly slumlords...It was government legislation that set them off though...Inflation was at 25% though...

    F451 would you prefer a system where there was no due process to go through and a decision was made straight away?

    I'm surprised you'd support a 'lynchmob' system.

    Could we not give all the travellers at Dale Farm a boat as a housing solution. It would tie in nicely with Mr Shapps new ideas and solve the Dale Farm problem at a stroke.

    If only David sorry Ed Milliband could get in the papers as much as a man with a super-injunction we might be more aware of his actual policies on housing rather than just the soundbites he releas
