This is a dissapointing article.I consistently tell my podcast listeners, that when I speak about mental health, I do it from a perspective of personal experience.That I'm not qualified. And when I speak to actual experts on the podcast, I let it be known.

She was asked to wash her dinner plates in the ensuite and to avoid cooking in the kitchen. Her former landlady then posted a photo & the name of the student on her social media account. It is indefensible.

Language matters. I grew up in a council house too in a large estate with all ages groups and backgrounds. It was a leg up for some, home for life for others + certainly not free. Homes for a broad group of working class people. Not a "unit" that's for sure.
