But how do you decide between the two cases, or is it that you feel more comfortable with the second one? Obviously I am not in a position to decide on a specific case (unless I knew the people well). My point was a general one. Some slum boaters are there through choice and quite happy with it, some are there through unfortunate circumstance outside their control and would prefer a better life, but for whatever reason can’t make it happen. That is all. Yes, but my point is about how you decide which is which, and to be fair, a mere suspicion that you feel more comfortable with the more prejudicial view. If your previous posts on the subject are any sort of indication. ETA That is all.

Just out of interest....
What do people think of boaters who live aboard their boat but moor on a non-residential mooring? Surely they are breaking at least the regulations if not various planning laws.

If your previous posts on the subject are any sort of indication. ETA That is all. First of all, both views are prejudicial if one forms them without evidence. Your mentioned “suspicion” seems prejudicial in itself because you have no idea what I think in this specific case. In fact I have no idea what I think in this specific case because I know absolutely nothing about the people in question. I was merely pointing out to Mr Dogless that it is by no means always the case that sympathy is due (and with a subtext that to presume it is, is virtue signalling). In any case, not only does it not matter which category I think the people in question fall into, it also doesn’t matter what anyone on this forum thinks about it, and it doesn’t even matter which category CRT think they fall into. They are in breach of the law for whatever reason, and you don’t get away with breaking the law just because you are skint.

And having a council flat generally doesn't indicate a lavish lifestyle, . No but it also means the boat is not emergency housing. Specially if the flat is not sub let which in Paul's case it isn't. This is not a topic about luxurious lifestyles it is a topic about housing.

These should be taken out and shot. If this does not work then shoot again. Then do it again to be sure.

But despite your protestations of complete innocence your previous posts give something away.

Yes bearing in mind they sold the engine and dishonestly continued to pretend to be CCers, I am coming down on the side of freeloading doped up lazy tossers. I got myself slightly confused between slum boats in general, and this specific slum boat.

I suppose perhaps cracked their heads with hammers might be better.

But this sort of thing is why so many contributors to this august forum think you're a massive twat. FYI not a personal view.

See my edit. But if people on this forum think that me disrespecting law breaking freeloaders makes me a massive twat, I will wear it with pride, probably on my massive head. Clearly I am out on a limb on this forum by not being a massive virtue signaller, but I can live with that. Happily.
