Resident Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I agree with the principle of this benefit CUT (only the ignorant call it a tax) Why should the taxpayer continue to fund single occupants in multi-roomed accomodation which isn't being used whilst we have families on the waiting lists overcrowding in smaller accommodation? It's about time this 'council house for life' attitude was removed. I hate Cameron's government as much as the next person and maybe this isn't quite the best way to do this but it's long overdue.

Mister M Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Given that we are apparently 'all in this together', should the MPs who get second houses funded by the taxpayer move to properties that are small enough for one person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 If there is suitable alternative accommodation I don't see why people shouldn't have their benefits cut. A council house is a privilege not a right. ---------- Post added 13-03-2013 at 16:55 ---------- Given that we are apparently 'all in this together', should the MPs who get second houses funded by the taxpayer move to properties that are small enough for one person? I think MP's 'benefits' are another massive discussion entirely, they get far too much IMO and property is just the tip of the iceberg. You try telling them they need a 'cut' tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thats the problem tho. Try to tell the people in charge they need to take a cut - it's like asking Turkeys to vote for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
