Ron's post 1 deserves thoughtful answers.
I would suggest that the Government changes its policy of allowing further mass immigration into our Country and starts supplying work to local people.
About 700,00 people immigrate every year to Britain, about 300,000 go home, that leaves a plus of 400,000 a year.
If the Government does not change the policy of the private sector that gives factory and farm jobs prevalently to foreign labour, then Duncan Smith's fears that we will have another lost generation will come true.
What we have seen is in essence a lost generation going rioting.

If one is to lose ones council house one has to have breached a term of the tenancy agreement, if this is the case one has then willingly made oneself homeless and it is then that individuals responsibility to find themselves accommodation.
Of course to evict someone where they have not breached a term of the tenancy agreement would be illegal.
Notwithstanding the above those individuals who were evicted would still be eligible for housing benefit, if they were originally in receipt of it.

Peter
it may have been a long time since you were at school since the basic premise of teleological ethics, whilst consequence based, is that we consider the consequences of our actions and pursue those actions which lead to a positive outcome. Your examples do not suggest that this is the method being pursued but rather the more selfish mode of 'I can get away with this therefore I will do it'.
This is getting into the realms of ethical egoism whereby we justify our unethical actions to ourselves.

Or do not lead to a negative outcome. Ethical egoism or ethical egocentrism would be a suitable descriptor for the belief system I mentioned.
Marek I think you are taking Dostoyevski a little out of context. He was taking a swipe at the treatment of prisoners in Tsarist Russia, not 21st-Century Britain.

RON;
I think there has been a list of differing views on how to deal with the situation, in reality, we have to be clear the prisons are full to over flowing, so it's a limited option, MAREK gives a number of other options whichg could be looked at.
