People may have their own reasons for claiming housing tax benefit to get their "free" home but I have to earn mine and pay it myself, so please forgive me for not giving a toss that some estimated 660,000 working-age social tenants – 31% of existing working-age housing benefit claimants - will have to pay extra.

I get nothing back from the State. I pay 40% of my wage to Tax and another 11% to NI, thats over 50% of my wages gone before I see a single penny of it. Yes I am fortunate enough to have a job but bugger me if we only just make ends meet!
I can't afford a foreign holiday every year and have a 9 year old car, so if by paying your way for "spare" rooms then hopefully this will alleviate the burden on the tax payers of this country.
Oh! I only have a 2 bedroom ex-council house which is pretty big enough for both the wife and me and our teenage son.

Please everyone don't take this as any sort of personal attack but just my point of view and probably of many of other people on here just not willing to air their views.


I agree with the above statement, again i say life isnt fair. It wasnt fair that the men in our place had to come off shift because the 24hour security went to out side firm so the men had to go on days AND LOST THEIR SHIFT ALLOWENCE PAY. They had been on shift for years and now were losing a conciderable amount of wages. So this bed room tax is you paying out were the shift men were losing out.



People who want to stay put will just have to pay up. People who lose their shift allowence money each month still have to pay their mortgage out of their reduced wages. There is no difference really, all of us are in the same boat but just in differant ways.

This is untrue, Dave H. It is just propoganda!

'Divide and Rule' is the Tory tactic. Y'know if Christians are too busy resenting Muslims for having the so-called Prayer Rooms then it diverts attention away from the True Crooks.

As far as I know Muslims require a 'space' facing Mecca- that is all. This bedroom tax should not be about turning against others

If anybody thinks that this tax/levy (whatever you want to call it) is being introduced to solve the housing crisis then they haven't read enough:

http://www.emptyhomes.com/statistics-2/empty-homes-statistice-201112/

There are over 700,000 empty homes in the UK, with 239,000 being empty long term. I haven't heard any politicians say that the money that will be raised/saved will go towards using these homes.

Have we even got a housing crisis?

This is just a madcap idea to raise/save money. If tomorrow they decided to introduce one of the following:

A levy on anybody who doesn't use public transport to get to work.
A £100 licence for every pet you own.
Taking 10% of your savings.

Would they be ok too? I think not.

It's not people in council/social housing who got this country in to trouble, it's this government, the previous government and the bloody bankers.

Do it during the day when the successful people are at work and the Bedroom Tax people have some free time.
