Brooke House is full of scum, single chav mums and druggies. Repairs don't get done as workmen are regulary threatened, even the council won't go near there!!
I, like the other residents of flats on my floor, go to work, pay my rent and taxes and am just quite relieved to get home of an evening. It doesn't matter where you live as soon, as you get home you shut that door, that's it!
Yes, I will agree with you that there is some scum living in Brooke House, but please don't tar the rest of us with that brush.

They appear to believe that they become a little more important with every individual they manage to insult. Being as most of our villains and time wasters are from the upper end of the middle class (as they call themselves), you can empathise much more these days with a single parent with three kids who is forced by circumstance to live in a high rise. Even more sad are the young drug takers led astray by those same evil middle class buffoons. Be proud of your position in life, ignore the trolls that abound!
