Thread Name: New Bedroom Tax Song
Subject: RE: New Bedroom Tax Song
Good one - my neighbour has a three bedroom house - it was the one her parents moved into when they were married, just after the last war.

She is a grandmother now, her daughter and partner have five children in a small flat so she can't visit them, but they can come to visit her because she has the spare rooms.

She will, of course be forced to leave the only home she has ever known, and have to find a place for her and her cat close to her daughter and grandchildren, so she will have to leave her job in the geriatrics ward.

The landlord will then convert her house into single room accommodation for other people forced out of homes which are considered too big for their needs.

Great way to put a lot of people out of work and on even more benefits than they were entitled to when they were working.
