Mr Duncan Smith also hit back at claims that a planned cap on housing benefit payments will lead to "social cleansing" of Britain's inner cities, as people on benefits are forced to move to cheaper areas.

He said the plans would actually force private rents down in the inner cities, and the number of people who would be forced to move would be in "a very low number of thousands".
"Because we are 40% of the rental market, we drove all the rents up in places like London.
"So that if you are a working person, on low or marginal income, you can't afford to live in central London, you have to be on benefits or incredibly wealthy."
He said his message to private landlords was "the game is over, these rents are coming down".

The game is over for both rents and house prices. The coalition want lower housing costs.

Nice try but London landlords dont need to drop their rents, in fact they are still rising thankfully, as there is string demand in London - it's a small city (small as in compact and overcrowded) with a growing population.

I see what you're saying Goulash, a growing population needs plenty of string to entertain kittens.

My signature was removed after HPI cheerleading morons like you complained that I was picking on them.

But at least it was factual.


Yours on the other hand ...

A masterful comeback!

Can we have babies together? We need to generate infinite offspring to pay off the debt so we can live the high life off the back of their National Debt repayments.

Woot!!!
