Three Cheers For Pat Glass

Thanks to the Bedroom Tax, families are moving out of good quality social housing and into the private rented sector at greater cost to the taxpayer.

Thanks to the Bedroom Tax, three and four-bedroom houses are standing empty because they are now classed as hard to let.

Thanks to the Bedroom Tax, pensioners who want to downsize cannot do so, since smaller properties are now prioritised for families.

Cameron had no approximation to any answer. He did not even know how his own flagship policy worked.

And, Community Charge-like, he is still calling it by a name which no one else uses.

  1. At least in the case of the community charge it was actually a poll tax. Whereas the "Bedroom Tax" isn't actually a tax. It may be a bad idea but I don't like to see the English language twisted this way.
