To eliminate any doubt in anyone's mind how anti working class and the poor the previous Government was and the new one is two articles from the Guardian.
We cant have any new Council housing as it creates Labour voters.
Speaking ahead of the
publication of his memoirs, Nick Clegg, the former Deputy PM, has suggested
that David Cameron and George Osborne refused to build more council
houses because it would “create Labour voters”. He also accused Mr Osborne
of slashing benefits simply to boost Tory popularity. “Focus groups had shown
the voters they wanted to appeal to were very anti-welfare,” he says, “and
therefore there was almost no limit to those anti-welfare prejudices.”
The Guardian's Dawn Foster
examines how, from April next year, tens of thousands of people will be hit by
rent hikes around the country, particularly in the south east. The government’s
“pay to stay” programme will compel households earning more than £40,000 in
London, or £31,000 outside the capital, to pay on average £1,000 extra a year
in rent. Guardian
analysis indicates that most people hit by pay to stay are earning well under
the average salary. "It’s a reverse Robin Hood move that only entrenches
poverty among low-paid workers," writes Ms Foster.
The previous chancellor who was rightly sacked thinks building new Council housing creates labour voters, does he?
I think that those who don't have a home thanks to him will more likely to be Labour voters.
He put votes over roofs over peoples heads, its a crime against ordinary people, but the only punishment he got was been sacked so he can go off and earn millions in the city, the punishment does not meet the crime.
