    Yes, because litter = rape.

    Frankly, this is disgusting. Whoever lives like this either has been having a right jolly good time, or has really hit a rock bottom no one here could even comprehend.

    Cans, rubbish, dirty nappies, sh't, dirt, the lot. That someone would do this to a property is beyond the joke. No respect. Dirty b#stards.

    Does this councilor want to come out and clean it themselves? What a comment.

    I assumed it to mean that the commies were blaming a victim (of littering) like Hook blamed a victim (of rape).

    What was your interpretation?

    It was your analogy. Did you expect it to be uncontroversial?

    Litter? That's criminal damage to someone's livelihood.

    The analogy is clear to anyone who is not a moron or anyone who is not going out of their to way to look for offence.

    Criminal damage is a property crime. Livelihood is not property.

    In any case, there's nothing to stop the landlord from making a complaint of criminal damage but I can't imagine it would be pursued unless the damage exceeds the deposit.

    There's not enough information in the report to know the extent of actual damage.

    It's disgusting behaviour though.

    I haven't bothered to read the newspaper link but I'm guessing they were suggesting , was there no blame there on behalf of the landlord? It's a rented property & the landlord must expect this to happen to their property. The landlord could have visited the premises daily to make sure it didn't happen

    "Worker" Party response:

    Workers' Party councillor Eilis Ryan said that such incidents can sometimes come part and parcel with being a landlord.

    "If someone is making money out of a property, these types of things are what they just have to deal with," the councillor said.

    Unreal.
    Tenant should be jailed for criminal damage.

    How does she know the landlord is "making money"?

    She's a communist. An actual communist, of the Marx-Lenin variety, who would not be offended by the label.

    Does this help?

    What do people expect from the leftie loons? It's hardly surprising they would respond in such a manner.

    The lefties have some good points though, in amongst the bollx.

    The current housing crises is a consequence of negligent or incompetent reliance on the provision of housing supply by a broken industry, combined with increased costs arising from well meaning but onerous increases in mandated quality of construction and accommodation.

    This could have been avoided if the government had the will and the way to fund construction through the recession.

    Landlording generally doesn't require high rents, it requires a real rate of return. More affordable housing would not destroy landlording, it would just mean that landlords owned more properties.
