Government wins first benefit cap vote

[T_i_B]

4. One small ray of hope I suppose.

It's quite clear however, that the government is not interested in helping anyone who's fallen on hard times.

Of course I'd like the Government to spend less on housing benefit but that means building more housing, raising wages, and actually having jobs for people to do. None of which the government is very keen on. There's also the likely effect of this policy to push anyone who's fallen on hard times out of any halfway desirable area. Dame Shirley Porter would be proud I'm sure.

I also think that housing benefit could be better administrated but capping benefits won't acheive that.
