George Osborne in the UK parliament announcing that as part of his spending review he wants to restrict housing benefit for under 35s to pay only for room rent in a shared accommodation, not for a single person's house or flat.
Peter Dow says -
"I don't agree with Osborne and if you would like to say that you do not agree with ANY of the government's cuts then you are most welcome to register with the Fight The Cuts forum, which is one of the For Freedom Forums.

Well then British adults. Are we happy to become Tory rent boys and girls taking it up the arse from the Queen's ministers or are you ready for a war?
@locutus12 What if your landlord takes in the lodger to your flat and you are only fully responsible for half the rent? That way the lodger's rent goes direct to your landlord. So it is not income for you and should not effect your benefit?
You can do all the interviewing of potential lodgers and reminding your flatmate to pay his rent on time etc so that it is no extra hassle for your landlord.

@BritishFlagBearer yea i can take in a lodger... any money earned off the lodger comes straight off my job seekers allowance. Have a look on my profile... I made a small yet amusing video parody based on the letter I recieved.
As for the rest of it, they ruined my christmas, I havent slept properly since I got the letter. I simply dont know what to do, I have no friends who have a spare room and no family to help me. And I have "a pet cat..."

@locutus12 I sympathize 100%. It is wrong what Osborne & the Condem government are doing.
We should have fought these restrictions when they brought them in for under 25s. We should fight them on a platform with under 25s to get them full rent as well.
If we don't take a stand now soon they will extend this all people of all ages and we'll all be taking up the arse like "rent boys".
Meantime will they allow you to take in a lodger to pay the other 200pm?

I am 29, i moved into my rented home 5 yrs ago. Renovated it with my own money from derelict in return for long term below market rent. lost my job (office manager 3 yrs) due to the downturn and am on housing ben. 12 days before xmas I recieved a letter that told me they are cutting my rent support in half (400pm to 200pm) as I am under 35. I own everything in the house, no money for moving, and frankly my blood & swet is in this house and I am now losing it due to these twats. I`m worried sick
