Only Yourselves To Blame

Thought that you could charge your offspring rent on that pad and get it paid as Housing Benefit? Forget it. “Contrived tenancy”, don’t you know.

Thought that you could use that redundancy payment to get rid of the mortgage? Forget it. You will be assessed for benefits as still having that money.

And so on, and on, and on.

You hippies-turned-yuppies demanded the merciless persecution of the poor. And the political movement that you created, New Labour, delivered it in full.

Well, as you sowed, so are you now reaping.
