Comment on: Benefit plans could aid far right groups
I would guess that it was actually the intention to appease racist sentiments prompted by Press stories about the modern day folk devils. You will have heard the pub bore, copy of the Sun spread before him, " they come over here, churn out babies in order to milk our lavish benefit system, breed us out of existence" etc. However capping the benefits at £500 pw will also hit an awful lot of white British Families some of whom will be daft enough to blame their fellow (non-white) victims. The real villains of course are the landlords charging more than £400 per week rents for modest properties. When did it become socially acceptable to charge 1.5 to 2K a month rent? How long have these parasites been milking the benefit system using their tenants as both a convenient conduit and human shield against taxpayers anger?

Comment on: A sign of the times
For many years housing professionals have suggested that the remedy for the social ills that stem from residualisation and 'estateism' is the creation of mixed communities. Now a bunch of politicians led by public schoolboys are about to deliberately engineer ghettos for the class of people they have no understanding of or affinity with to live in. This is social vandalism at best, class war at worst. My grandparents were proud to live in council housing, they worked and took a pride in their surroundings and community. The consequences of driving out such people and making estates holding pens for the most desperate, disadvantaged and disfunctional will come back to bite the better off. In future taxes will either need to go up to deal with the expensive fallout or the quality of life will be severely damaged by the stresses induced by fear of crime and disorder.
