Im not saying housing benefit renters should not live next to me and my neighbours. I am saying it is Marxism! Basically socially engineering. Do you ever wonder how the "under class" have lots of children on benefits and the middle classes often have cautiously one? The powers that be want this!!! Why? You produce more (for the most part, obviously exceptions) genetically cognitively challenged and very dependent on the state from birth you are therefore producing a future generation which are easily controlled and do not question. So carry on with your recycling and scare stories of passive smoking. This is just my (and other people opinion). I am sorry that it different from the "masses". I am entitled to an opinion and it should not be censored due to political correctness, besides you asked a question Im giving you my view. The state wants to own you, your children and so on! Hence all these law. By any ones standards we are seeing more and more socialism than we ever saw in my childhood. Next you will be wearing a microchip thinking what a cracking idea it is with a few people saying "erm hold on a minute".
