I have not watched the clip yet but did want to ask whether any others had sussed out Boris & Cos latest wheeze to help his chums?
Instead of Housing Association Landlords getting rent for properties let to tenants who pay, partially perhaps, their rent with with tax-funded benefits he wants to let them buy their housing association property. Boris will allow them to use the benefit received to help pay the mortgage.
So, instead of the tax-funded benefit money going to the Housing Association in rent Boris intends to manipulate the system to allow this benefit cash going to the BANKERS. The same bankers perhaps who got so much tax monies in 2008.
