Bedroom Tax saga

Again... on the net and from a post in a closed group..

I was inclined to respond like this ...

as a social tennant, I was mortified to find out this simple fact.
For my own area ( Aberdeen City ) The LHA award for a single person is £122 towards rent !! Now .. This means that I am limited to this amount towards my rent if I were to take on a private tenancy, which I would never do and will not allow myself to be forced into again.
So it is incredulous to me that the Council, the social landlords of their constituents would allow this backhanded attempt to scavenge money from the unemployed in this manner at all when the social landlords rent for my current 2 bedroomed property is £69.41 exactly !!!
I would petition the government to pay out the LHA money direct to myself for my rent and then pay the rent to the council by myself ! £50 a week spare money available to everyperson in a home, and they claim that I am over occupying my flat, in a high riser, that THEY gave me when I was homeless over 6 years ago.
If I could afford to downgrade I would happily, as I would save money in the long run over electricity and heating, but to force people into poverty beyond that which is allowed by LAW ( JSA is the same money as Income Support which in itsself is the money the Government decided was the minimum amount of money you require to live on ) £71 a week I get, and they want me to pay just under £10 back ( £9.72 exactly, reading from the card I have already !! )
I have a small badge that I wear now, " Cant Pay Wont Pay " and thats what I am sticking to. The council have dealt with me harshly for a number of years, forcing me out of a tenancy due to rent arrears because it took an DWP enquirey longer than normal to find out that I have been made redundant from a job I was in for over a year, and as a result, when the housing award was granted and back dated, it was NEVER ALLOWED to be entered into my rent account. But as soon as they forcefully evicted me, they took that money and put it onto my implied arrears...
Want to know how much I actually owed them after this..
£240 and change which then was about 4 weeks rent !
So I got unlawfully evicted for the sake of 4 weeks rent, and now that housing block has been pulled down and no replacement put back !!! Dont take my word for it, Formartine Road, Tillydrone, Aberdeen. AB24 2RB. Mine was the second block from the south on the left hand side. You will need to use the timeline feature to see about 12 years past Google It !!

So annoyed at this whole government, and as a person who once wore the uniform ( even if it was only as a cadet and then a Territorial Soldier, its sickens me that there are ex servicemen and ex servicewomen who fought for this country only to get treated like scum by the Government!

Yet again, I am sorry for the long winded post, but what I say is the truth, not covered up in any way, shape or form, and not to be used to incite any trouble, but information to provide the good people of this country of the reason of WHY the people who are affected by these disasterous decions made by an uncaring and comercially biased Goverment. ...
Last note, I know I have spelling mistakes, and probably havnt used the correct words, am a simple plain speaking Scotsman, the pic on my profile is actually ME.. No mask needed ...
And I will say this lastly, I will fight with every ounce of my being against this draconian and unjust rules that this goverment is trying to impose upon us.
If they force me to become homeless again because of their mishandling of the legislative laws, then I will fight to bring the full force of the Crown Laws to bear against them all.

Also, from the same closed group, I ended up with this post as well...

Apparently, there is a rumour going around that the Government has already served Youtube with a writ to stop them from broadcasting any footage that comes from any of the Rallies / Protests regarding the Over Occupancy Rules / Bedroom Tax demonstrations.
So much for our implied right to peaceful protest....
No matter, as a closed group, we can make videos private use only and even use torrent sites if need be ...
But I had a few songs in my mind earlier, and when I decided to cheer myself up, I shoved on the radio ( Northsound 2 ) to hear this song Labre Siffre - Something inside so strong - with Lyrics. ...
Now I have a new song in my head to carry me on till Saturday.

Well that is about all for tonight, I wish I could post up on something else, but this is the main issue that has me very concerned at the moment.
