Will the lazy government do anything after being shown up by Colin and Justins show? ITS A DISGRACE to ask people to live in these massively sub standard homes. Credit to Justin and Colin for coming up with thsi idea. It seems very like Jamies School Dinners substituting food for housing and demanding better conditions are given to tennanats

I really wouldn't attach too much credence to a couple of Scots gays who live together and do this sort of thing in the name of house renovation. They know little about the subject, and their only real claim to fame is the fact that they're so open about being an

hey tweedy, many thanks for your support in our plight. Colin and Justin have accomplished a lot for the residents of our Scheme (Arden). Much of their work was done off Camera, including chasing the local councillor and asking him for answers. They worked in Tescos and donated the cash to the Young Persons Project and they absailed from the whyte and mckay building. In answer to the comment that was left by another reader of this question all I can say as that not all of the tenants are LAZY, indeed far from it.
I am the very Craig that organised the 2nd litter campaign in the show, what wasn't shown, was the 3rd litter campaign which managed to get 50 residents out on a Sunday afternoon. Other tenants have joined the Glen Oaks Area Committee and we have a Steering Group of 17 that are involved in the managing of the Young Persons Project.
A lot of the residents are now uniting and saying enough is enough. Not only do we ask that the government release funding that was promised 15 years ago but we also ask that Housing Laws be changed to make it easier and quicker to get "undesirable tenants" removed.
What is a real shame is that the very small minority make life hell for the majority of decent tenants and sadly that is not something unique to the Arden housing estate.
Once again many thanks for your support, I wish you and all the readers a happy and successful life.

I am really enjoying the show and I agree, the conditions they are living in are horrid - especially considering we are meant to be a rich, developed nation. Saying that, I can't help but feel fustrated for Colin and Justin as the residents themselves don't seem to care - one of the teenage lads was moaning that they hadn't done anything for him, yet, not to be rude but, what has he done to help himself and the rest of the community?!
Sorry for ranting but the attitude displayed by many of the residents drives me mad lol!
