Abstract

Social housing as we know it is on a steady decline in the UK, with house prices in London increasing by 222% (Shelter, 2016). This, as well as the privatisation of the NHS, is one of the biggest threats and worries facing people. During a time of anger, hostility and worry in austerity Britain, Channel 4’s programme ‘How To Get a Council House’ returns tonight at 9pm. In this blog, I will ask you not to watch this programme, for three reasons: it’s misrepresentation of the people residing in social housing, it’s unfair attacking of particular groups, and it’s perpetuation of myths.
