Strange - when I left the RAF (through no fault of my own), and had to give up a three-bedroomed house and move into a bedsit in Leeds (because that was all I could afford), I don't remember it be called "Social Cleansing"....

Can I just state for the record that I find the use of the phrase "Social Cleansing" totally abhorrent, and Jon Cruddas should know better (and I think he does) than to use a term that most people immediately connect to "Ethnic Cleansing" - it's a very cheap emotive shot, and below the standards I thought Jon Cruddas had.
