Oddy enough I am ambidextrous 
To me the idea of the cap on rents is to drive the poor out of those areas where rents are high to make it much easier for those with jobs and money to move in, which in turn will drive up house prices and rents. How can anyone who is unemployed afford to rent a house in London anyway, even with benefits is beyond me. So they cam up with the idea of capping the help that people get. Landlords won't be dropping rents out of the goodness of their hearts, so it means those receiving benefits will have to move to areas where rents are cheaper, leaving the area free from unemployed. This will apply whether you have been unemployed 10 seconds or 10 years I take it? So get caught between jobs and have to move to a poorer rented area, families being forced to move whether they like it or not from areas where they grew up, where their roots are, just because they were unfortunate enough to work for a company that closed.
The only logical conclusion to that move can be you'll have rich and poor areas, segregated communities of the haves and have nots. The government passed the law and the people accepted it because "we voted for them, their policies". This only serves to make the rich/poor gap wider and more obvious. Though as I said it seems to be popular with people for some reason.
I'll now admit to being one of the "haves", who pays higher taxes which in turn was used to help those less fortunate in society than myself. For me it's always been that way and I expected it to continue, for me it never made a difference and was he right thing to do. That's why I made the point above. I have to wonder now where the taxation I was, and still am, paying is going if it's not going to help those less fortunate than myself where is it going?, because they sure as f**k aren't giving me my money back - perhaps it's lining the pockets of bankers. Maybe t's time to say f**k it and leave this broken country behind.
