UK's Cameron proposes scrapping youth housing subsidies

[super jumbe]

British Prime Minister David Cameron has proposed scrapping rent subsidies for Britons under age 25, in a newspaper interview on Sunday that may heighten tension with his Conservative Party's Liberal Democrat coalition partners.

Requiring almost 400,000 low-paid and unemployed young Britons to live with their parents if they cannot afford market rents could save just under 2 billion pounds ($3.1 billion) a year, Cameron said in an interview with the Mail on Sunday.

Should have happened 25 years ago, the lazy bast?, stop there dole money and kick them out of there flats/houses.

I get sick of people saying you are better off on the dole?..

[gmb45]

wont happen, what if they dont have parents ? dont get on with them ? they might end up on the streets or in hostels, if it comes in it will be another nail in the coffin for the tory fuds next election .

[super jumbe]

Absolutely agreed with you, but I think our govt will find the way round tough?.

[GastonJ]

Yeah, just think in 20 years the MPs will be old and it'll be the ones who they 'punished' running the country.... just need to pass a law that all ex MP's should live with their parents or be shot dead

[bobwill]

Should give all under 25 s housing benifit and put income tax to start at 50% to pay for it for every one who is luckly enough to be working

[GastonJ]

With tax and NI it is more than 50% already.

[super jumbe]

50% + 20% Vat 70% if you ask me, now wonder I have payday loans every month.


The rest goes hear:

Payday loans are a mugs game. If you thought overdraft charges with banks were robbery then payday loans are like daylight muggings, but being mugged for real hurts less.

How is it that every PM/MP that comes along, willingly cuts benefits, perks, money for EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT THEMSELVES & willingly hand out ?millions? to other countries???

How about we start by saving ?millions? per year by giving the PM/MP only the national wage???
Lets see how long they will work for peanuts. Let them pay for everything they want from their national wage pay pocket.

The MPs keep coming up with ideas to cut from everybody else but NEVER seem to cut from themselves!
They keep taking from everybody but never seem to give anything themselves.

On one hand, UK ltd is cutting jobs & wages from every industry because of the double dip recesion & on the other hand the PM/MPs want people to find jobs that don't exist.
