Forums Forums Wirral Information Wirral Council will bedroom tax affect you?

I'm not.

Work hard, play hard, Bedroom Tax doesn't affect me other than to disrupt my working hours. Me stopping work because of a protest means that I'm earning less and therefore contributing less to your cause.

a) I drive to work because I need my car for work and I can afford to - I don't NEED to use the train. I pay increased fuel tax, road tax, tunnel fee, 40% of my earnings etc etc.
b) I can AFFORD my pet because I work.
c) Leave my savings alone, I saved them, by working.

Jesus Christ, theres some seriously fooking deluded people on this planet.

well said zubee

good on you Zubee,spot on.

yep and scary thing is they are ment to be running our country

Thanks to massive generalizations being peddled by politicians and people like you MadonnaFan.

those who need benefit top ups in order to survive will face wonderful 'incentivizing' changes, such as the disabled face having their HB slashed if they have a spare room which they need for a carer or for equipment.
But they should have thought ahead and not become that disabled...
The unemployed, who had jobs, paid their taxe’s but lost theirs in the midst of a recession, will have their HB slashed if they have a spare room, but they should of thought of that and not lost their job.
The low paid, through no fault of their own, who can only find part time work or zero hour contracts, and need benefits just to survive, will have their HB slashed if they have a spare room, they should of thought of that and demanded that their employer gave them full time employment.

Damn them for their poor choices! Losing their jobs. Getting sick or being born disabled. Clearly they should be punished for such awful behaviour,
WOULD YOU SAY MadonnaFan

But imagine if it were the other way around...

-I'm not travelling 150miles per block of shifts to get to my digs, via train. Costs more than driving and takes 3times along :s
-I'm happy to pay for a license for my dog, but not my fish :s
-Savings are savings, I pay enough tax before paying tax on savings aswell.

Thankfully I'm in the position to not need benefits.

Rude, i am thinking of getting a cardboard box, painting a door on it and a couple of windows,then making a sign """THIS IS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS US TO DOWNSIZE TO"""

Human rights group Liberty is launching legal action against the government’s penalty for under-occupation of social housing.
The organisation said it will seek a judicial review as it believes the penalty, widely known as the ‘bedroom tax’, breaches the European Convention on Human Rights. Liberty said it will argue that the policy is discriminatory and would infringe on family life.
