Having been an active Liverpool citizen, I now find myself studying abroad and have chosen to do an assignment on the bedroom tax as social policy that causes long term stress. This was helpful.

It is bad enough to have to go through the humiliation of being unemployed and vilified relentlessly in the media nd by Government, but to then face the prospect of being made homeless, deliberatley plunged into rent arrears by Government policy is vile beyond words. I watched the debate on this issue raised by Phil Wilson and the passion with which he and colleagues made the case against it. The solitary lib dem lamb to the slaughter did indeed look sheepish. He says they will 'monitor' the situation. Well how about prevent the catastrophe that is impending. Please keep highlighting this issue,we need to get this policy scrapped before the chaos ensues!carol walkernoreply@blogger.com
