“Is this the same Lawrence Coleridge that i remember... got suspended from school for punching a teacher in front of everyone??! Indeed it is. Needless to say, this kind of behaviour seems to be okay for new addington, as they hand little sh*ts like this everything they could need, minus the hard work that the rest of us need to put in. It is sad that they have a child with a disability, but so do many others out there who do have to wait the 2+ years to get a place with the council. They should be grateful that they have been offered somewhere, wether it be temporary or not. Some other families have to be placed in a bedsit whilst waiting for a place. At least its nice to see where our taxes are going. I think your tactics here are disgusting. Maybe you should have gotten a job and saved up and had a child when you had a place of your own. (instead of letting the rest of us pay for your mess)”

“now people, look this yong girl who i recognise, They have had a baby and Congrats to u and lawrence..
As for it being disabled sorry to hear about it,
They have not gone to the advertiser to shame them into accomidation, they are highlighting the fact that they are not being provided any where to live, i see others oints of views of getting a house-flat some where to live before the baby was born, but this hasnt been the case, she is not some knocked up teenager, she is 21 years of age!! perfectly able to care for a child! and is asking for help from the council, which im sure most of u have asked for help or you parents, if not lucky you!!! if this young couple was not a uk citizen im sure they would have had a place by the time they had walked out if the council office!! im sorry but its true!
So stop having a go at these people they are trying to do anything that helps there child, which im sure if u were in there position you would too!!
Good luck with the council and i hope you find a place soon”

“Mark

For some strange reason you seem to comment more on peoples lack of grammar and inability to spell rather than making any significant comments to this young couples situation. Perhaps you should have checked the second paragraph on the last comment you posted !! Or maybe even taken the time to read what Becky had written.

Is your life so wonderful that you have forgotten what it is like starting out - or perhaps nearer the truth is that your so discontented with your own existence you have become a narrow minded unfeeling person - Unless you have something valid to comment perhaps you should keep your opinions to your self.

Becky I hope Maison is ok because he is the one that counts.

Ignore all the negative comments, if people are really naive enough to believe everything they read in the papers then thats their choice. Like millions of others already have, and millions more will do so in the future - you have approached your local council for assistance in housing and you have as much right as anyone else ! You are not queue jumping or usings Maison disability to move up the queue - only you know exactly what has happened and the unacceptable way Croydon Council have treated you

Hold your head up high, If people knew exactly what you two have been through with little Maison maybe they would not be so quick to pass judgement and be so uncaring
You are both doing an excellent job and everyone who counts is proud of you x”

“Lenny,

I understand perfectly what i read, and that is that the family are currently housed, and have been offered further housing in rented private accom for the time being until a further house becomes available that will be their home.

You seem to miss the point. They are currently living in under a roof, i am sorry for their current situation in particular with the child and his illness, but they are housed, they get benefits, they get help.

The way Becky makes out they have been working and paying their taxes their whole lives. They are in their early twenties for good sake, that hardly gives them the same right to a free life as someone in their sixties who HAVE been working their whole lives.

I dont see what the difference would have been when they had the child, whether disabled or not, they should have taken this into account when they got pregnant.”

“I don't think that many if any are suggesting that Becky is sponging or that her need is not just. I personally think she is just plain ungrateful. She has a roof over her head at the moment. She has been offered temporary accommodation far quicker than most families on the waiting list. She has been told that in 6 months she will be offered permanent accomodation. Meaning that Becky's total wait for a permanent roof over her head has taken only 15 months.

By going to the papers and complaining like she is, she is saying that this isn't good enough. Well sorry unless you can provide for yourself and the family you chose to have then you are not in a position to demand anything. By this blatant show of foot stamping she is giving a kick in the teeth to the people at the council who are working on her behalf and sped her application through, us the tax payer who are paying for this whole process and to those who have been pushed back on the waiting list after already waiting years for a permanent roof.”

“Look at the bigger picture...We all have to live together in this world and it is what we make it. They did not ask for a disabled child and was very young when this happened. Asking for help is not a crime when it is dished out so freely to others. I work in immigration and agree money is wasted when people in need actually deserve it. It is not a spelling competition so who care's how she spells her sons name! What would you do in this situation? Her bloke only earns enough for what his boss is willing to give him. Im sure he spends it on train fare to hospitals. Before the next rant against her...just think about what I said. If we all help our neighbour the world would be a better place. One day you may need help yourself no matter how rich you are. Good luck to the couple who seeks advice on how to raise a sick child. I know if I had a empty flat for them I would give it to them. Love you Beck and Law”

“BECKY:

I strongly suggest you contact Michael Castle who would potentially be able to enter into negotiations on your behalf.

Housing in New Addington as well as provisions for the young are one of Michaels top political priority's.

Providing the correct situation for those who require assistance by cutting through bureaucratic red tape and helping the needy fulfil their required needs is one of the key reasons why Michael will be campaigning to be MP for Central Croydon.

If elected this would be one of the things he would help to guarantee an improvement on for all people that may need housing assistance.

"Michael Castle for Central Croydon."

Search for his political group on facebook and lend your support to ensure better health care and housing for you and your loved ones.”

“Becky - I hope you get the home you and your partner and son deserve.
I am on the waiting list for a property at the moment but id be happy for you to be more priority and 'queue jump' as some would call it. I have a council property at the moment and think its sad that people think because you go to the council for help, that you are sponging every benefit going?? Well im a young mum of 2 and like becky I also receive no benefits as I have a partner in full time work, we pay full rent....not like some that get away with paying £5 a week and sponging the rest.
We all need a little help at some point in our life. Im sure if half the people commenting on here lost their jobs and couldnt pay their mortgages, then they would ask the council to step in after being repossessed..
GOOD LUCK BECKY AND FAMILY!! xxx all the best xxx”

“mark croydon
