I don't see why everyone is getting up in arms about this; it's only bringing tenants of public housing into line with private tenants who are on housing benefit.

The council can't afford the current outgoings so how is this going to save money?
Most private tenants are not in receipt of housing benefit, most housing association tenants are, so 'bringing tenants of public housing into line with private tenants' isn't really true is it?

If you're going to quote, don't truncate the quote so that it fits better with your position.

Don't believe this can be true and sure someone with better knowledge will confirm.

A story going round on facebook saying that Muslims will not pay for the 1st spare room as it will be used as a prayer room. I believe this to some racists trying to jump on the bandwagon and rubbish like this will only hinder those fighting the injustice this tax will bring.

I can't see anything official online so presume it is a crap stirrer somewhere.

Rambo quoted you verbatim at the very beginning of his reply so I don't think he can be accused of putting a slant on it to suit his own opinion.

I can only conclude from your post that the bedroom tax doesn't adversely affect you or anyone close to you.

Where Rambo specifically chose to quote me in order to claim that my statement wasn't true, he failed to quote me in full, therefore the mis-quote was significant.

As to whether the changes will affect me or anyone close to me, I choose not to disclose.
