Bedroom tax will make forces son homeless in Plymouth

“If she is in a three bedroom house it works out to 14% of the rent which is around £9 a week. Cheap accomodation really, you would pay more for a serviceman's home or a flat of his own. I am on benefits and I agree with this tax too. All too often I see single people in 3 bed houses when there are families in bedsits waiting for somewhere to live. Especially in todays society, as Cameron seems hell bent on killing this country and well known businesses are going under, with the loss of hundreds of jobs, leading to loss of homes. Roll on 2015 if we are still here by then.”

“Cameron nothing but a borish child, he proved that with the way he handled a perfectly reasonable question by George Galloway on pms question time the other day, about why we harp on and on about ending these evil dictatorships and bringing democracy to the middle east when in fact we other then the united states are the Saudis biggest ally and Saudi Arabia is as anti democracy as it gets, not to mention Cameron etc is a staunch ally of the rulers of bahrain another bastion of democracy I think not!.....so did mr cameron answer the question? na he just tried to turn it round into an insult on Galloway, playground tactics show up the mans playground mentality”

“Was it the intention of the Government, under the shadow of Christmas and New Year to all, to make certain payments early to then attempt to lead into error in judgement under false promise of payment of an other half in illusion to determine via false test who is the weak via a process of division and argument? Does late payment cause cash-flow in so far as to cause food and rent arrears which temporarily make the changes inflicted by the Government to be seen to be of worth (so it can justify its own existence via attendance to its own needs) although at a greater cost in the long run which ensures its own once in term return. If as so far as thus, it would appear the Government is following the lines of another magickal circle: slight of hand no rabbit in the hat. The art?

Dear British Prime Minister David Cameron MP (in know free substitution ego example). It would appear you have lied to me. You have lied to Tommy. You have lied to Vera. 33 degrees in radian, Satan. Freemasonry your highest ranking honorary member is a liar. There is of no benefit to you being here. Pa Ra do yea answer yeah.”

“took the words out of my mouth titch, the way this story is worded its as if because the guy is `forces` he should somehow expect some kind of exemption, getting pretty fed up of this mentality, everyone should be treated the same, I dont have an opinion on the law I havnt really looked into it myself but I fail to see what the sons career choice has to do with the problem in question? playing the `forces` card for more views eh thisisplymouth? could never its owned by the same group that own the daily fail etc. :P”

“It can't be one rule for people in the military and another for everyone else.”

“and encourage people to have more kids they cant afford”

“as someone who works in social housing i actually welcome the governments changes, all too often we hear about single people living in 3 bedroom houses as the kids have all flown the nest its about time we were able to free up these properties for families that actualy need it. Social housing should not be a lifetime home, it should only be short term when there is no other option. there are thousands of people on the waiting list that are in desperate need.

whist i understand the son is in the services and believe our troops deserve our support (they also get extra support through devon home choice for being in or coming out of services)
would there be the same hoo haa for someone who's son is having a stint in a hmp? or someone who worked in another country and only returned for 6 months a year?

what about the families that have children who normally live with another parent? a single couple where the man has say, 2 kids who live with their mother but stay with him every weekend doesnt automatically get allocated a 2 bedroom property, the couple will still ony be allocated a one bedroom property! it needs to be consistent throughout the board

these changes do not automatially make the son homeless, it just means that the mother's benefits will be cut, so can the son not start paying towards this as most working people have to pay for a home to live in?

there will be plenty of people in the same position as this family but the only reason this has made the herald is the fact that the son is serving in the forces.”

“£100 a year is less than £2 a week and all that is needed to recoup this is one less packet of cigarettes a fortnight or less on something else. Nobody is going to become destitute because of this. While they're at it why don't they stop giving schoolgirls, who become pregnant deliberately, housing when there are far more deserving cases out there.”

“Good policy. Why should I pay for someone on benefits to have extra rooms.”

“More garbage reporting.

I am ex-military, he is well paid and should be giving his Mum rent when he lives at home anyway.
This will more than cover the so called bedroom tax.

Just political wind up from the Herald as usual.

They love to prod and annoy all the labour fu_k wits in Plymouth”
