Just another result for those disgusting creatures that call themselves the Conservative Party. They won't be happy until we have Workhouses back.

That's a bit of a leap UJ.

The poor lady was grieving and distressed over the death of her son .... possibly struggling financially.
But by this criteria anyone in credit card debt who commits suicide would mean any one of our illustrious financial institutions who lend money, encouraging debt, would also be guilty of manslaughter.
If anything I find the trashy media are rather capitalizing on this poor woman's deep sorrow.

The Bedroom Tax doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Over 61's are exempt which means they can live in large properties until they die, which could be over 30 years.
Young children don't count so several have to share rooms. These are the two groups that should be encouraged to swap.
When you are lucky enough to find a swap it costs the councils money to help with moving. The social landlords put up rents during the change of tenants so if one or both are claiming housing benefit, that goes up.
The bidding system is flawed, there can be dozens of people bidding for a social property, not always the people in the so called,"gold" highest priority are allocated properties.
People like that poor woman who are under 61 and through no fault of their own find they have an extra room, which could be a dining room as far as I understand, are targeted. Whether they're on benefits or earning this is amount that is often unaffordable.
There are no smaller properties for them to downsize to so they're trapped.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour by this government.

Re: Cameron, Osborne & IDS guilty of manslaughter???

I grew up with two large council properties either side of the house I lived in, both having just one person living there. When bungalows for one person were built they moved out, albeit reluctantly. Now there is nowhere for people to go when they give up larger properties. And even when the proposed massive new homes house initiative goes ahead it will not fill the gap of social housing for single people or just couples. Indeed, social housing is rarely mentioned. I agree with TessA - it's disgraceful.

Re: Cameron, Osborne & IDS guilty of manslaughter???

I don't know how they can sleep at nigh so many people harmed by this government

Re: Cameron, Osborne & IDS guilty of manslaughter???

I think many people were harmed by the former government.

Re: Cameron, Osborne & IDS guilty of manslaughter???

I didn't see too many committing suicide or having their benefit slashed.

Re: Cameron, Osborne & IDS guilty of manslaughter???

How do you know? I'm not disputing it but some figures to back it up might help.
I don't especially remember the labour years as all milk and honey and no hardship.

Did listen to LBC to day(you can get it on their podcast)
