I AM disgusted by comments made regarding empty homes.
Darwen councillor Roy Davies made a comment I thought was wrong and unjust.
Who does he think he is to state that all people on benefits are drunken and noisy people?
Myself and my husband are on benefits because illness prevented us from working.
Are we one of these people who get drunk and bang about? No, we are not!
I suggest that before he makes any more remarks, he gets his facts right.
You don’t need to own your own home to be proud of it and want it to look nice.
People on benefits do want their homes to be nice too.
Quiet Angry Person (on benefits).
