Evicted if you work, evicted if you don’t
Tory-run Wandsworth Council is proposing to evict people who don’t get a job. The council says:
If the policy is adopted, people would be given a council home on the condition that they find work or enrol on a training course. If they fail to stick to their side of the bargain they would face the prospect of losing that home.
This comes in the context of government policy being developed to evict people if they do get a job:
The PM said fixed term contracts should be issued so that people can be evicted if they get a job or start earning more.
And I thought I’d seen everything.
