Because they are a protected group and do not have the same choices.

Women and ethnic minorities are also protected groups, should they get exemptions also? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

What choices do the "non protected" people have, if there are no smaller properties to move to?

LOL WW had to phone my friend (Lucy's original legal adviser) who should take all the credit for this she is absolutely over the moon.

We met today strangely enough at lunchtime

This is a thread giving factual updates on benefits etc. I suggest as a "newbie" you start a debate over on the Dsicussions board.
