What timing
for David Cameron to Introduce the Bedroom Tax Just as Mrs Thatcher Dies This
tax is about as fair and sensible as the POLL TAX introduced by Mrs Thatcher or
maybe her spirit and policies carry on in the Conservatives policy’s.
This Tax is
totally wrong and unfair. Someone living alone in a 2 bedroom house cannot
avoid the tax unless they move house. Which would almost certainly cause them
massive disruption and expense. That’s if they could find some where to move
to. This in effect clobbering the poor in such a way that they cannot escape
from it without turning their lives upside down. And what about if their family
require to visit where do they stay in a tent in the garden of the one bedroom
house.
We recognise
that the Benefits bill is far too high and the Philpott’s case illustrates how
broken the system is. But the Bedroom tax is not part of the solution. The
upset and heartbreak it will cause is not worth the comparatively small amount
of cash that it will raise.
Cameron and
his head in the sand MP’s really should be looking at the wider picture and
start to think outside the box. The country is broke the infrastructure is in
pieces and we are overrun by immigrants claiming benefits.
Yet they still shell
out £53million per day to the EU and £23million a day in foreign aid with the
Romanians and Bulgarians waiting in the wings to fill the empty 2 & 3
Bedroom houses left vacant when the people who can’t afford to live in them
because of the Bedroom Tax.
So maybe Mr
Cameron is setting himself up as a never to be forgot Leader like the late Mrs
Thatcher.
