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.

Another brainless post by Pierre
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

Explain how my rent is subsidised

I live in private rented housing, and have done for years. I do not earn a huge wage, and frankly find it a bit much for people to want to literally take from others in similar situations just based on who owns the house they rent from.

Everybody would love to have a little bit extra to save for a house, but that should not be a subsidy from taxpayers for some, while others have to not only pay for them, but face being unable to save themselves because of the disparity in rents.

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

Social housing should be provided for people in need, and assistance with rents to those whose standards of living would be too low otherwise, not to fund a deposit or enhance peoples lifestyles beyond that which the average working family can achieve in the private sector

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

Also, name calling isn't on, argue the ideas, not the person as your attitude can easily be seen as a classic case of rent seeking

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
