The clampdown on Housing Benefit and tye bedroom tax doesn't just affect people who are out of work, it hits many many people earning minimal wages,

Two of the hardest working people, and probably the most honest and generous, are dependent on Housing Benefit to enable them to live in a modest flatt. Now the landlord has slapped another £10 a week on their rent. But the previous rent was at the maximum level payable by the Council under government restrictions. So they have to find the extra money, or find another place at the lower rent - which is virtually impossible locally.
