    nannytone....it's not me who is obsessed with statistics...it's Morlock. I'm anti statistics....like you my opinions on this are formed by life experience. I'm trying to get Morlock to share HIS experience instead of churning out endless stats in an attempt to gainsay. Jeez, we couldn't even get away with that in debate in the 6th form 40 years ago!

    What's a morlock anyway?...A cannibalistic troglodyte sub-species with severe anti-social tendencies from the distant future!

    The majority of people affected by the bedroom tax are disabled, single females with only one spare bedroom, living in areas where under-occupancy is not a significant problem. The policy relies on these disabled women staying put and absorbing the cost to realise any savings, it is a direct tax on disabled people living in social housing. I have provided links and statistics to back up all of the above facts about the bedroom tax, from the same documents that the government perused to justify its introduction.

    I'm still waiting for proof to justify your claim, not just, "I worked at ABC for XYZ years, therefore 123 is true." Which would, of course, make your 'facts' entirely subjective and worthy of a very large pinch of salt.

    No one's disputing that fact tho PD. As I've said I'm all for it, if the choice is available....

    I feel like i'm repeating myself now
