Rudebox what do you think of this? john Walker Jan 19, 2013 @ 16:08:26 I am looking into the possibilty of mounting a legal challenge to them using human rights legislation as a possible weapon. But i need something to work with. If there were enough of us prepared to band together as a group collectively we would have a better chance than just one solitary person. I need someone who is clued up on the Human Rights Act to look at this piece of shitty law and see if there are any possible grounds upon which we can attack it Discrimination is one thing that come to mind. If there is any one interested please let me know my address is [email protected]I realise that we may not get anywhere but this time i feel we have no choice but to fight and i would welcome any ideas as to how to go about this http://keepourcouncilhomes.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/victims-of-the-bedroom-tax-sheilas-story/

Very interesting. More evidence that the Coalition Government are liars, plain and simple.

The more we read about this "bedroom tax" the more iniquitous it seems to be.I made a comment early on in this thread that although it may seem right in principle and that each case must be judged on it's merits there are far too many cases coming to light which highlight future abject misery for many people.Of course some of the press will always promote anti government initiatives and we must be subjective about what we read but the plain facts do suggest that too many people will be adversely affected and this cannot be right.It appears that somebody in the government had an idea which sounded sensible on paper but have not thought though the real consequences and impact on society.There are simply not enough places for those who want to downsize to go to so it cannot be just or fair to penalise them for having "too many rooms".

The simple way round it is to change your bedroom into another room - maybe a sauna with a plunging pool? Hey presto! No bedroom tax.

yes some are going to be penalised...but when you read some of the excuses for needing an extra bedroom..especially on here
well some are laughable to say the least!
For those that cannot afford to pay the extra there will be discretionary payments available i believe....

Yes discretionary payments are available to the most vulnerable, for 13 wks maximum, after that your on your own, do we feed & clothe our children, do we stop paying utility bills, to pay the bedroom tax?
As Cameron would say
YES TO BEDROOM TAX
NO TO MANSION TAX
Camerons mantra
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER
what a load of b***s**t

"Gang"? lol
Poods knows exactly where to go if she wanted to read up. As for "evidence" it consists of private emails sent to whoever decided to explore that avenue.
