Quote by Plimboy
Part of the problem here is that rents in some ares of central London have no relationship to "normal" living costs - the question is "if someone in these areas has to resort to benefits (clearly they must have had high earnings to get there in the first place) should they be allowed to stay put or move to a cheaper area?"
I would say, "OK let them have the benefit of the higher rent allowance for say six months maximum (they have probably paid into the system at one time on that sort of level), then if they cannot get back to high paid work, they should be made to move".

Indeed; Shirley Porter would doubtless agree with you.
Welcome to Westminster, inventors and pioneers of economic cleansing, exporting poor people to the rest of the UK for the last twenty years.
