I have received a response from our local ...UPDATE<br /><br />I have received a response from our local housing association on behalf of the poorest in our communities and he informed me of the following: <br /><br />'National Housing Federation we have been lobbying government to change the proposals, including the ‘bedroom tax’. There are still some challenges <br />going through the courts, largely on the grounds that the legislation is discriminatory, but it is clear that the main provisions of the act are going to come into effect over the next twelve months. I read in the paper that further cuts are likely to be announced in the autumn statement.' <br /><br />This link was also posted on a UK forum. <br /><br />The Government's so-called bedroom tax is a "callous" policy that will make the poor poorer, Labour say.<br /><br />Shadow work and pensions minister Lord McKenzie of Luton described benefit reductions for people under-occupying social housing as a "grotesque experiment".<br /><br />http://money.uk.msn.com/bedroom-tax-plans-branded-callous<br /><br />OUR RESPONSE <br /><br />The academics, and economists do not have the solutions for that which ails humanity. <br /><br />Justice is a very thin line to walk, and there comes a time when we have to decide whose side we are on. <br /><br />Do we stand with the poor who have been oppressed in this land for 1,000's of years, or do we allow the oppressors to carry on in the same old way. <br /><br />If it means that for justice to be done, we have to sweep away the British monarchy, and all of its supporters, then that is what we will have to do. <br /><br />Eliakimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759734387674692355noreply@blogger.com
