Make no mistake that a lot of people living on benefits are seriously short of a bob but equally there are some on a nice little earner - especially when the landlord is a family member and silly amounts of housing benefit are involved.
It strikes me that plans to put a cap on the amount of benefit that can be paid to families were eminently sensible but they appear to have been scuppered in the lords as a result of the bishops saying neh.

What do we think of unelected clergymen having a say in the political process of our parliamentary democracy ?
