KOSOVO BORIS
Well then, what did you make of Boris Johnson playing to the electoral gallery and saying he would not allow “Kosovo-style social cleansing” in London, amid a row over housing benefit reforms?
Many London MPs are concerned the £400-a-week cap will force people out of the city and the Conservative mayor said that would not happen “on my watch”. Vince Cable accused the mayor of using “inflammatory language” while No 10 distanced itself from the comments. Mr Johnson later said his remarks had been taken out of context.
Personally, I think even £400 a week is excessive for some of the welfare parasites that live in London. I know plenty of people, hard-working people that is, who can’t afford to live in London so they get up very early each day to travel into London and arrive home late at night. They do this day in, day out. Why is it that special provision must be made for the work-shy? Johnson often infuriates and this is another one of those occasions in my view. What do you think about his Kosovo comment?
£400 a week is extortionate for somebody on benefits to claim on rent. I saw a lad on the BBC saying “I was homeless and now I got me own flat, if I lose some of me benefit, I’ll be on the street again”
When I was a woman starting out, I HAD TO FLAT SHARE AND I HAD A JOB!
I meant to put a “young woman” there… sounds a bit weird without that.

Knew what you meant!
Seems obvious to me that with a cap of £400 on state handouts the market value of such rentals will simply fall to…..£400.00 😛 , What’s the problem?
