I live in a council house & am sick of the stigma – people assume I’m a ‘benefit scrounger’ & call me lazy & uneducated

A YOUNG woman has hit back at trolls who make assumptions about those living in council properties. 

Ashlan Hindle, a mum-of-one from the UK, explained that people assume she is a ‘benefit scrounger’, but in fact, she and her partner both have jobs.

Social media users were keen to support Ashlan and praise her ‘beautiful’ home[/caption]

Not only this, but the content creator claimed that trolls will call her lazy, work shy and uneducated, but she is keen to set the record straight.

Posting on social media, Ashlan, who lives in a spacious three-bed council house, shared a short clip ‘breaking down the stigmas, one day at a time.’

As she showed off her stunning, modern-looking home, which has a stylish white kitchen, large garden and spacious bedrooms, Ashlan highlighted the ‘stigmas’ associated with those living in council houses. 

She said: “I live in a council house but I’m not a single mum.

“I live in a council house and we both work.

“I live in a council house and I’m not a nuisance to my neighbours.

“I live in a council house and I pay my taxes.

“I live in a council house and I’m a clean person.

“I live in a council house and I look after my house.”

Not only this, but Ashlan claimed that whilst many may assume that those living in council properties get them for free, she added: “I live in a council house, I pay rent.

“I live in a council house and my rent is still £745 per month.

“I live in a council house and I’m very well educated.”

No, I don’t get anything for nothing

Ashlan Hindle

Keen to break down the negative stereotypes, Ashlan continued: “So no, I’m not work shy, no I’m not lazy, no I’m not uneducated, no I’m not a ‘benefit scrounger’ and no, I’m not lacking aspiration.

“And finally, no, I don’t get anything for nothing.

How can I get a council house?

To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority.

To find your local authority, simply use the Government’s council locator tool on its website.

Once you have access to your local council’s website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application.

After applying, you’ll most likely have to join a waiting list.

Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn’t guarantee you a council house offer.

Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage.

You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently.

Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on “points” or a “banding” system.

For example, you’re likely to be offered housing first if you:

  • are homeless
  • live in cramped conditions
  • have a medical condition made worse by your current home
  • are seeking to escape domestic violence

Once you are high enough on a council’s waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available.

Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds.

EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible.

council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority.

The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list.

There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list.

“I hope this breaks down a few stigmas surrounding council housing, because council housing is for everybody.

“If you are in need, you can ring your council and you can apply, so not everybody is the same.”

SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ashlan_hindle, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was shared just one day ago but has quickly amassed 36,000 views. 

Just because you live on a council estate doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful home

TikTok user

Social media users were impressed with Ashlan’s clip and were keen to share their thoughts on her ‘beautiful’ home in the comments.

One person said: “It’s not a council house it’s your home babe, who cares who or where you rent from, it’s beautiful.” 

What It's Really Like Growing Up On A Council Estate

Fabulous reporter, Leanne Hall, recalls what it's like growing up in social housing.

As someone who grew up in a block of flats on a council estate, there are many wild stories I could tell.

From seeing a neighbour throw dog poo at the caretaker for asking them to mow their lawn (best believe they ended up on the Jeremy Kyle show later in life) to blazing rows over packages going missing, I’ve seen it all.

While there were many times things kicked off, I really do believe most of the time it’s because families living on council estates get to know each other so well, they forget they’re neighbours and not family.

Yes, things can go from zero to 100 quickly, but you know no matter what you can rely on your neighbour to borrow some milk or watch all of the kids playing outside.

And if you ask me, it’s much nicer being in a tight community where boundaries can get crossed than never even knowing your neighbour’s name while living on a fancy street.

Another added: “Just because you live on a council estate doesn’t mean you can’t have a beautiful home.

“I’ve lived on a council estate for 60 years, your home is beautiful.” 

A third commented: “I live in a council house, and I work full time. There should be no stigma attached.” 

To this, Ashlan replied and claimed: “There shouldn’t but there is because of a small bunch of people.”

Kylie Minogue boyfriend history: Who has the Australian singer dated?

KYLIE Minogue is heading out on tour, in support of her smash hit album Tension and its runaway single Padam Padam.

Like many of her fellow pop stars, the soon-to-be touring hitmaker has reinvented herself many times and made headlines across the world.

But fans have long-been obsessed with who the pop icon is dating.

Here’s a full timeline of everyone Kylie has been romantically linked with over her career.

Who has Kylie Minogue dated? A timeline of her boyfriends

Jason Donovan – 1986 to 1989

Kylie joined the cast of Neighbours in 1986, playing the now-iconic character Charlene Mitchell.

Her character had several romances, but eventually married Jason Donovan’s character Scott Robinson in an episode watched by 20 million people.

Meanwhile, Kylie and Jason had begun a romance themselves and were together for three years.

Jason became a singer, like Kylie, but eventually the couple were unable to spend much time together.

Eventually, they split but remained good friends.

The pair even reprised their Neighbours roles for what many thought would be the soap’s final episode, before it was revived by Amazon.

Michael Hutchence – 1989 to 1991

After splitting with Jason, Kylie began dating Michael Hutchence of the Australian rock band INXS.

The pop icon has shut down accusations that there was a cross-over in her time with Jason and with Michael.

Her romance with the rock singer marked a departure from her “good girl” image, with Michael bragging that he was “corrupting Kylie”.

She said: “To have someone like that open your eyes to many many things in a rock and roll way, in a poetic way, in a lovable, humorous, amazing way, obviously it was a great time.

“Even when it was slightly on the wild side, he was always very tender with me. 

“I was a precious little thing to him so amongst the headiness, it was always very sweet.” 

Eventually, the couple split but remained close friends until Michael sadly passed away in 1997.

Stephane Sednaoui – 1996 to 1998

Kylie began dating French music video director and producer Stephane Sednaoui.

Stephane had directed some of the biggest and most surreal videos in pop, from Madonna’s “Fever” to Bjork’s “Big Time Sensuality”.

The relationship coincided with a period in Kylie’s career that the press dubbed her “indie phase”, as she sought to take her music to new places.

Stephane went on to direct Kylie in the music video for Towa Tei’s GBI (German Bold Italic), which she featured on.

Much of their relationship was kept out of the public eye and they eventually split in 1998.

James Gooding – 2000 to 2003

The pop icon started dating model James Gooding one year before her smash hit “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” hit the airwaves.

The relationship soon felt apart and resulted in a bitter break-up.

James dubbed Kylie a “self-obsessed, virtually friendless control freak” and she described her former beau as being unable to “live without sniffing a line of cocaine or drinking heavily”.

Olivier Martinez – 2003 to 2007

After her breakup with James, Kylie started dating French actor Olivier Martinez.

The actor had starred in a range of films by the time he met the pop star, including the nail biting thriller S.W.A.T and the erotic thriller Unfaithful.

The couple met at the 2003 Grammys where Kylie had presented the award for Best Pop Vocal Album with Justin Timberlake.

They stayed together for four years, during which Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.

Though they eventually broke up in 2007, they have been seen together as recently as 2017.

Andres Velencoso – 2008 to 2015

One of Kylie’s longest running romances was with Spanish model Andres Velencoso.

They met while filming a perfume advert and quickly fell in love.

The couple were together for seven years, but eventually their busy schedules took them away from each other.

Later, Kylie talked about the break-up on an Australian radio station.

She said: “I was very sad.

“You come out the other side of that, being super busy and on the cusp of so many new things [it] helps to move on. 

“It was an amicable separation, I still love Andres, he’s the nicest guy, he’s the coolest guy.”

Joshua Sasse – 2015 to 2017

Kylie started dating actor Joshua Sasse in 2015 and they got engaged only a year later.

The Australian singer was 19 years older than her then-boyfriend, who she met on the set of the TV show Galavant.

The couple broke up only a year after they got engaged.

Kylie took to Instagram to break the news to fans.

She posted: “Thank you for all your love and support throughout this recent chapter of my life.

“Thank you now for your love and understanding with the news that Josh and I have decided to go our separate ways.

“We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons.”

Paul Solomons – 2018 to 2023

The Padam Padam singer began dating Paul Solomons in 2018, one year on from her break up with Joshua.

She confirmed that she was dating GQ’s creative director on her 50th birthday.

However, Kylie returned home to Australia in 2021 which made it hard to see her then-partner, since he lived in the UK.

Eventually, the couple grew apart and announced that they were splitting up.

Since dating Paul, Kylie has not confirmed whether or not she is in a relationship.

The pop icon thrilled fans though when she announced that she would be touring for her smash hit album Tension and its hit single Padam Padam, in 2025.

ELLA Morgan’s Celebs Go Dating partner Alex is left put on the spot as he faces awkward question about the state of his and Ella’s romance on Celebs Go Dating.

The Married At First Sight UK star has been left smitten with her love interest Alex and even confessed to introducing him to her mum.

Throughout the past week of the series, Ella even revealed she believed Alex could be “the one” as she explained that her feelings had grown deeper and deeper.

She also admitted he was the first person she had had sex with where it had “meant something” as she continued to fall head first for her hunky date.

However, in tonight’s final Celebs Go Dating episode, Alex will be left put on the spot with a very awkward comments from the E4 show’s experts.

As Ella and Alex stroll into the Agency-thrown party hand-in-hand, Anna Williamson comments on how the outgoing Ella appears “bashful and nervous” to be walking in alongside Alex.

Ella, who The Sun previously caught snogging Bobby Brazier at the BAFTA Awards, says: “I am just really happy to be with… my man!”

Stunned by her choice of words, Anna went on: “My man? Alex, are you Ella’s man?”

A painful silence floods as Alex scratched his head as he appears uncomfortable by the remarks.

The agents look on open-mouthed as Alex fails to answer the question surrounding their relationship status.

Appearing nervous, the hunk looks at Ella and awkwardly asks: “Erm, I don’t know, are we?”

Ella appears taken aback by Alex’s reluctance to answer the question in the surprising moment.

The rest of their time at the final party will play out in tonight’s Celebs Go Dating but The Sun previously revealed how Ella had been publicly boasting about Alex as her “boyfriend” almost two months ago when filming on the show wrapped.

Ella risked the wrath of show bosses by revealing her loved-up status back in August when she was presenting at Brighton Pride.

The 29-year-old made the admission that she had found love live on stage as she introduced headline act Girls Aloud to the crowd.

Appearing to acknowledge that she would be in hot water with the admission, Ella giddly told the cheering crowd: “I’m not supposed to say anything about this because of Celebs Go Dating.”

Celebs Go Dating 2024 cast

Celebs Go Dating is soon welcoming a new bunch of famous faces in search of love. Here is where you may have seen some of them before...

However, she went on to reveal that her “boyfriend” Alex was in the crowd and attending Pride with her as she revealed she had finally found love.

Ella, who is openly transgender, made the admission as she reflected on the struggles of dating as a trans woman during her speech.

She went on to add that her new boyfriend Alex identifies as “straight” and is “cisgendered”.

She could not hide the grin off her face as she beamed whilst publicly speaking about Alex.

While at the time it was unclear just who Alex was, it now appears more than likely that Ella was referring to her Celebs Go Dating love interest all along.
