Tory spat over Cameron's plan to purge Central London of poor people

[kandr]

Clears the riff-raff outside of London, so the rest of us elite types can enjoy the theatres, restaurants, museums, parks etc.of the greatest city in the world.
But where are we supposed to get the cleaners, gardeners and nannies that we are used to?

Do you need help moving?

Napoleon did it when he rebuilt Paris. Apparently the wide boulevards were designed so that soldiers could get to rioting trouble spots quickly. As it turned out the poor moved out of central Paris as a result of the building work and the middle and upper classes moved in. End of rioting problem.

I don't think the UK can afford to rebuild London at the moment...

You are leaving London at last? I hope to some place without internet connection

Am I missing something here? The new limit is 400 quid a week, or 1700 a month, or 20,000 a year. That sounds an awful lot of tax-free dosh.

Why do you think the masses are shunning jobs and moving on to dole ?

It seems the only thing the government cares about is people on dole.

Have 3 children, get a 3 bed house. Pop two more out and you are moved into a 5 bedroom house. etc etc.

Even your jokes are unoriginal and stolen.
What a bore you are.

Do you reckon there's people out there looking at these rates thinking that there's an opportunity to 'trade up' now they realise what they could have had?

And they planted all of those trees either side of all major roads in order that future German Armies could be sure of marching in the shade.

So you blame the Govt for setting those thresholds too high? Personally I think £400 PER WEEK is obscene unless you pay your own EARNED money.

Surely they can do f*** all from anywhere. if they are getting a free house then it should be somewhere cheap. If their housing benefit is limited to 400 a week then they will have to find somewhere that meets their needs for that rate. So out of London it is. Also, why do they need to be in London.....they are not working. It's not like they have a commute!
