These people should be shot

You get what you are charged for rent...therefore if your landlord charges 20 quid a week your housing benefit will be 20 quid a week...if the landlord charges 150 quid a week (and that's the going rate in that area) then the HB will be 150 quid...and it goes to the landlord. ..most place have next to no council housing or housing association housing so a large percentage of this money goes to private landlords.

I live in Woolwich/plumstead se london...most private housing is bought by landlords to rent out...not only do they get the HB money they also end up pushing up house prices so that a 3 bedroom house round here costs over £300,000 so the only people who can afford to buy round here are....yep , landlords!

 

Eh? He said the claimant can't get the money direct, they can.

 

No, he meant that the money goes to the landlord, not to the tenant, so the large sums that are always quoted will depend on where they live.

 

Of course if the rent was lower there would be less HB paid, what was your point in saying the claimant couldn't get the money direct?

 

How the **** do you know what he meant?

 

Those schools, eh?

Understanding the English language is a daily challenge for you

 

Because of the sentence he wrote after that.

That's how the English language works ffs

 

I understand it better than you, clearly.

 

Landlords have had it too good for too long in the UK, that is a ****ing fact. They shrewdie UK landlords will invest in the USA





PM for details!

 

Just read back and see that Toby says that Britain's only hope is Jeremy Corbyn

Everything else he says can be filled under pish

 

I meant that tge money went to the landlord for the rent...I know it don't need to go directly to the landlord but it does need to end up there otherwise the claimant can be charged with fraud (and usually is).
The post I was replying to originally mentioned HB and imo the amount spent on this is dictated by landlords so if it is expensive (as all governments state) then they should bring in laws to lower rents.

 

At least 72 government mps are landlords

 

And *****s

 

So RLC has basically just explained the same ****ing thing to you, yet you're still trying to point-score?

I never said Britain's 'only hope' was Jeremy Corbyn, but not surprised that you completely failed to understand a basic sentence.

Wow. Just wow.

 

Takes one to know one

 

I've just withdrawn my support for Corbyn

 

The poster you're completely failing to understand has explained it to you several times.

Wow.

 

No point RLC, he just reads bits of what people posts and completely misses the point.

EVERY. ****ING. TIME.

Don't bother

 

Corbyns a crack pot but I like some of his policies ...

 

Why? Because the tabloids said so?
