Tory’s War on Lower Class: Bedroom Tax is Leaving Homes Empty, Councils with £20 Million Rent Deficit

The British government has sold this disastrous policy as a way to reduce “under-occupation”.
The ‘bedroom tax’ has affected at least 500,000 UK households. Non-compliance could mean that occupants are forcibly evicted from their homes.
What is it really though? It’s a way to take back property away from many of the lower-middle classes and working classes who got on to the property ladder two decades ago. It’s also part of David Cameron’s Tory Party and their war on struggling British families – as this collectivist, punitive feudal tax regime forces families to kick-out family and dependents – and replace then with strangers who are tenants.

Weekend fathers, for instance, are given no special dispensation – with the government forcing them to choose between renting out their room, or paying “the bedroom tax” for allowing their children to stay with them on the weekends.
Coercive, repressive and manipulating, and it’s truly incredible how the government has been allowed to pass such a measure. On top of this, it makes ZERO economic sense…
