This is a normal post To pick you up on your final sentence
I don't agree that it's unjustifiable, nor do I agree that it's an indulgence.

Fair enough, but if it's a spare room that gets little or no use as a bedroom for someone to sleep in at least 5 nights a week I think it's an unjustified indulgence when families of four, for example, and this is not uncommon, have to live in a two bed flat.

This is a normal post What about the rich who rattle around in a massive mansion?
Just trying to shore up a failed social building program. Typical 'can kicking' by the Tories

This is a normal post They probably own the mansion and aren't asking the tax payer to house them

This is a normal post Except that they are, because they're tax-dodging cunts.
Can't be arsed to go look it up right now, but Private Eye did a FOI request to HMRC last year or maybe the year before. It seems that fewer than 20% of the landed gentry pay ANY UK tax on their mansions. Add to that the Russian gangsters, registered Non-Doms, Tax Exile Celebs, Bankers, Judges etc Not forgetting our totally non-corrupt MPs of course, and something like 90% or so of all the mansions in the UK are either tax exempt, or their owners' lawyers can get sweetener deals with the HMRC making them effectively tax-exempt, and in some cases have even received tax-payers' money for them thus paying Negative Tax.
So yeah, they're not asking the tax payer to pay to house them, they're fucking DEMANDING that we do so, and the cunts are getting away with it.

This is a normal post Yeah, and I said FUCK OFF IDS.
Go and get filmed proving that you can live on £53 a week again. And get caught on film cheating because you can't. Again.

This is a normal post Fuck off
You lost the argument the second you used the word 'indulgence' to describe a box room in a fucking council house. Apart from that there are no small council properties for people to move to so they have to move to the private sector so move from a 2 bedroom shoebox at a reasonable rent to a private 1 bedroom flat at twice the cost of the shoebox. Oh and go fuck yourself farage.
