    Marcus, that is unfair, yes it is likely they are on benefits given where they reside, but you cannot link to affordable housing

    Marcus – its rude to say people on benefits. I am on benefits (because of my bad leg) I have five kids and have to survive off £2 grand a month from the tight tories. I live in a small 4 bed council house and my family have not had an holiday for a year. I couldnt afford to drink drive m8

      I worked all my life and never had £2 grand per month after tax. you’re bloody lucky to get that amount for doing nothing.

      A few statistics offered without comment…

      £2000 a month is equivalent to a salary of over £30000 a year. The average salary for full-time employment in Brighton is under £23000. The average salary for a staff nurse is just over £23000.
