  • Bedroom Tax:Labour motion calling for the end of housing benefit deductions fails.

    Treated like something on the bottom of their shoes. If governments had not failed to provide social housing to cope with the rising population, this situation would not have arisen. They are trying to screw people to the floor and expect them to survive like pigeons in a coup with a few handfuls of grain a day. My grandfathers fought against people like you in order to get me educated and help me to have a LIFE not a survival. You are nothing but rich, self-centred, egotistic, bullying and power crazy. You and yours will NEVER know what its like to work and not be able to fill the bellies of your children or sit in the cold when the gas goes off. Yes Cameron, put another jumper on or do like most of the MP’s do and get the tax payer to pay your utility bills – you can always say how ‘sorry’ you are afterwards.

      apparently all the real, lived experience of people that we heard about and know of is merely anecdotal to the tories – they who use no evidence at all to produce their vile, inhuman policies against the poor, the disabled and the unemployed. Ideology rules for the party with NO FUCkIN’ IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A pox on their houses

    I am so so gutted! I can’t tell you how on the edge I am. I should not be having to use my DLA to pay for the bedroom tax and council tax. I was hoping for good news today
