David Cameron facing Bedroom Tax rebellion from his OWN MPs http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/david-cameron-facing-bedroom-tax-6389468 Unquote:======================== The bedroom tax reminds me of the failed poll tax, which was scrapped. I believe Labour MPs will vote with Tory rebels on this one, and I suspect the makority of population would equally like to see this one binned. |

<<Just as an example, we only got one dustbin emptied, but we had to pay 3 times for that bin emptying. To be fair, we should have had 3 bins provided. >>> Three people create three times the amount of rubbish and larger households (round here) can get larger bins than smaller households <<To me, it's like using a taxi. You use it alone, you pay the full cost. You share with 3 other people, you pay a quarter of the fare each. What would the reaction be if the taxi driver said "It's full fare for everybody as you have all benefited from the service I have provided"? Small point I know, but it would apply to other things too.>> No , taxis are private private sector and incomparable with local public services , a twin hotel room for single use costs less than two guests in a twin room Compare it with using a bus or train , passengers pay per person Just as council services should be charged |

Lol defence of the poll tax. So it's fair that people who didn't have the means should have had to pay or else be ineligible to vote? Some wish the franchise was never extended eh? Bloody lefties voting, how dare they! |

I think it comes down to the question of whether you believe it is the job of Local Gov. as well as Central Gov. to redistribute perceived wealth. Many believe that this is not what Council Taxes are for. |

I have put us down for 1 female to help with domestic chores and 1 male to help me in the garden. Must share same bedroom and not stand on toilet seats. The Prayer Room does face Mecca. In leu of free accommodation, heating and electric I will expect at least 10 hours each from such services. Seems fare, but I will have to put a stop to the work I currently provide to locals. You have to do your bit. |

Why thank you for the recognition. What are you going to do to help out? Something equally as productive I hope. |

Yes I will take in some people, the regulations where I live might place some restrictions on what I can do, so we will see. Perhaps they can pay me by wearing a cap, just so I can expect them to doff it to me everytime our paths cross. |

Maybe not I don't know, but it is what a decent civilised society could be expected to do. |
