First they bring out the evil Bedroom Tax, now they bring out this. Its another way of getting back to people who have got a council house, made some money and earn a lot of money - what is wrong with that.

Osborne deserves to be put up against a wall and read the riot act, by the millions of people that he has made misery of

Why doesn't he just bring out Mansion Tax - for people that live in large houses and have rooms that wont be used.

Its always the normal Joe blogs in the street that he hits. If l lose my job tomorrow which can happen - l have been edge for the past few years with cuts looming. I have an extra room - I will have to pay Bedroom Tax

If he brought out in the budget that he will increase taxes for the rich. That would ease the pain - but l bet he wont

Osborne and Cameron are multi millionaires, so money is not object.

a bit like the unemployed. (get out and get a job push) but (get out and get your own house and give the council one back to those less well off than you)

That's usually how it works?

Pay the market rate. If you don't like it mod editoff and the pay the market rate elsewhere. Stop bleating and get on with it.

I suppose if Osborne decided you should pay more for your mortgage simply because you earn more than the bloke next door you wouldn't be upset in the slightest :rolleyes:

Explain how my rent is subsidised



Explain what I am taking from others



I've been subsidising people through my taxes for 30yrs

.

Rubbish ,that has never been the intention of social housing and never will be ,social housing was built to house workers not to segregate 1 section of society from the rest ,that happened a lot in the 60's and 70's and ended up with slum dwellings ,the very thing social housing was meant to get rid of ,now we have social housing open to everyone mixed with private housing a much better arrangement.I lived in private rented houses for years and wouldn't thank you for it ,no security ,poor maintenance and high energy bills,now I have security (that's housing security for dum and dummers benefit) and a well maintained house for my £110 p/w



If I get insulted to the extent that Bulky and smurf did I will retaliate ,although what that's got to do with you I don't know

You suggested I move to better myself ,not only insulting me but the thousands of decent hard working council tenants just like me ,you suggested I am a sponger because I live in a council house and pay full rent with no state assistance at all ,I'm surprised you haven't thrown in racist as well ,that's your usual trick when someone doesn't agree with you especially over your love affair with Farage

well i'm just flabbergasted i only asked why do you not move to a better private area if the cost is equal to your council house rent, and i don't believe i used the term scrounger , and as for throwing in racist and your rant about Farage the mind just boggles .

What the feck do you think is wrong with my area that's the 3rd time you suggested I move to a better area all you know is that it is a council estate ,that tells me you are extremely prejudiced against those who live on council estates,just because you grew up in a **** hole doesn't mean we all did ,now take your horrible prejudiced attitude and do one :mad::mad:




Maybe the warning that Damien gave you might jog your memory.
