I think I have made my point clear and we agree. I do not think anyone should be evicted from his or her home right now. There should be a moratorium. I am referring to tenants who are paying the rent and are not antisocial. That is another major issue. I have heard of people causing untold havoc in estates, private and public, with terrible antisocial behaviour. Sometimes that is criminal behaviour bound up with drugs. I am not saying there are many of these people but they have an appallingly negative impact wherever they are. That has to be acknowledged. What can be done about that?
