Bedroom tax--what next windows again?
I WAS LISTENING TO THE POLITICS SHOW TODAY, A DISCUSSION ON THE NEW LEGISLATION ABOUT SOCIAL HOUSING AND SPARE ROOMS.aPPARENTLY ANYONE WITH MORE BEDROOMS THAN PEOPLE IN A HOUSE, WILL EITHER BE TAXED 40.00 PER ROOM PER MONTH OR FORCED TO MOVE TO MORE SUITABLE SIZED HOUSE. I AGREE THAT IF ONE PERSON LIVES ALONE IN A 3 OR 4 BED HOUSE IT MAKES SENSE TO PERSUADE THEM TO MOVE TO ALLOW FAMILIES TO BE HOMED, BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY SINGLE PEOPLE NEEDING HOMES THAN THERE WILL BE SINGLE BEDROOM HOUSES AVAILABLE.
sO , WHEN THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALL BEEN MOVED ON INTO SMALLER PLACES AND FILLED THEM ALL UP WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR FORMER LARGE HOMES? AS THERE WILL BE NO SINGLE BED HOUSES LEFT FOR SINGLE OCCUPANCY WILL THE SINGLES BE PUT IN THE LARGER HOUSES AGAIN, DEFEATING THE OBJECT OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
wHAT ABOUT THOSE WITH OCCASIONAL LIVE IN CARERS, AND THOSE WITH KIDS AT UNIVERSITY
THIS GOVERMENT WILL BRING OUR COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES, WHICH I BELIEVE IS PART OF THE
GRAND PLAN / CONSPIRACYTO KEEP US IN ORDER AS IT WAS IN THE 1900s.

It is like many things that come from our inept MPs... Good in theory, but ill thought through and will cause problems in practice.
Don't forget there was also a "hearth tax" Clicky thingy
I have a feeling this "bedroom tax" will turn out to be Camoron's poll tax.

Yes rebbonk , you're right --a cunning slant on poll tax-I hadn't thought of that.
Lets guess what is next for this not-so-free-now country

Years in industry taught me to "never be amazed at the stupidity of people in large groups". - Holds absolutely true for the 650 muppets we have in Parliament.

Another major example is the army.Last month they were cutting down our forces by making many finishing their tour of Afghanistan, redundant. Now they have decided to keep them--for a while --and redeploy them to Mali.
Not to fight mindyou. The fact that weapons are going too is niether here nor there-er-incidental.
George Galloway put it well on daily politics.
Quote... "We are a tiny island trying to act as if we are an Empire still.Get our country right first before acting the big 'we are. We cant keep our pensioners warm but can find moneyto send our troops to god knows where -where we have'nt a cat in hell's chance of winning- with money we cant afford.It makes me tear what's left of my hair"
He's so right.

Some are not taking this "bedroom tax" lying down. I predict this protest will escalate as more become aware of the reality.
