Bedroom tax makes big house not wanted?

What did I say. Apparently there are loads of bigger houses not wanted. Well here's the rub single Heather Frost needs a very big house with 11 children!

SO what can she do well the council have built her a 6 bedroom detached house just for her and her brood. Of course she lives on benefits - over £30k I understand. (I thought there was a cap?).

So why can't she use one or two of these big empty houses? Doesn't matter where it is 'cos she's unemployed? Or also where are the Fathers? Shouldn't they be contributing to the family or at least some children farmed out amongst their Dad's if she doesn't have room. Some are old enough to live on their own. Maybe the folk with spare bedrooms could take in a child or two that would cover their benefit shortfall and they wouldn't have to move out, is it called fostering?

I despair. What did I say is it Heather's Human Right that we should provide her with a house fit for her family at any expense.

You decide.

Benefits scandal

Good news that Lone parents will have to look for work. I do sympathise with those honest hard working folk who suddenly fall on the situation "bereavement" for example but there are too many using "Kids" as a ticket to a life of Riley!

Maybe this initiative will help? I hope so.

I know of examples where single parent with 3 kids, (2 under 5), council house 3bed semi, colour flat screen TV, DVD Sky, Computers (yes kids have one too)., mobile phones, always buying kids toys, etc, go out for meals regularly (I don't). All this without working and getting benefits from OUR TAXES! Father absent but unemployed "looking" for work? Oldest is looking to  go to Uni but at the moment doesn't spend his "allowance" for attending school.

Gets decorator in, gardener, new fencing, kids go to nursery (free) what does Mum do? Now going to spend £150 on party for one of them! Unbelievable.

Is this right?

Great eh.
