The first sentence of the OP says it all really.... 'I have ongoing issues with the only council tenants in which resides on our street. '- that is NOT 'proper English' for a start! John Major and Edward Heath both lived in council houses in their youth....unfortunately the public school educated Tony Crosland, Labour minister, got rid of grammar schools (although that did not stop Harriet Harman from shunning Kingsdale school to send her son to one in Kent) which meant that the vast majority of clever kids from the working classes have had no real lifeline out of their impoverished start in life since. My theory is that if you don't educate the poverty- stricken masses then they will be easily fooled into voting Labour much like people were fooled into believing in god and an after life for the previous 2,000 years
