A rat bag supporter that has a motor mouth, I must have hit a raw nerve.
Just so as you know, I have been saying this is wrong
well before that post, so you know what they say about people that assume.
I'll tell you why travelling pensioners shouldn't get rent relief.
Pensioners without assets get benefits to support there pension and bring them above the poverty line, one of these benefits is rent relief, this is to help pay for rent they can't afford, weather it be for a house, flat or permanent C/Van site.
I don't have a problem with that, But if these people can't afford rent and need assistance.
How can they afford to travel?
The answer is Rorting the rent relief system.
The pensioner that owns there own house doesn't get rent relief to travel, in fact if they want to travel they have to use the free or low cost camping areas in order to travel.
The self funded retire doesn't get rent relief, But I hear you say they don't need it and your right they don't, But they still pay tax so as others can rort the rent relief.
The self funded retire gets tax relief this year,
well as I said it must be an election year.
