You do realise though, that IRONICALLY, you are not only paying DOUBLE the rent of the Social Housing property, but as a Tax Payer actually SUBSIDISING that property's tenants?

This is just how screwed up and totally unfair the current system is to WORKERS.

Something which I have been trying to say since I joined.

It is not only those in receipt of benefits who are FECKED but also those working and not receiving collosal wages but enough to preclude them from any help.

Often those in receipt of benefits are BETTER off than those working.

No - I am not slagging off benefit claimants just pointing out that the current system can also penalise workers.
