How can it be right that somebody on jobseekers’ allowance, who has spent a year looking for a job, doing all the right things… then loses 10% of their housing benefit?

How can it be that someone can take a year to find a job when Poles and illegal immigrants seem to walk straight into them? Clearly they are not doing something right.

Can someone please explain this one to me!

How can the local government give out a subsidy of £140,000 pounds for housing in one year to one family!!!

Dammit, do landlords in London make that kind of bread at the expense of other taxpayers? What is the tax rate for rent income in the UK? I want to know.
