Why why why....Z.
We can ask why untill the cows come home, I have no answers for that and now is not the time for a retrospective.
Is this the most proactive thing our government could have come up with in these times of economic malaise?
Whether or not you or anyone agrees with the term bedroom tax this is what it equates to.
The government have now offloaded the responsibility for council tax onto local council now, so there is added pressure there for areas with a high level of benefit claimants to recoup funds any which way they can.
They are not therefore going to be as sympathetic to the needs of their communities as they need the money to ensure the maintainance of essential frontline services... in essence, we are screwed.
