SIR, In last week's Beacon you reported Conservative MP David Davies' support for the hated bedroom tax. This is a mean spirited and spiteful tax that attacks the weakest and most vulnerable in society, especially the disabled. It punishes those who are least able to afford extra housing costs for daring to aspire to more than a single bedroom even if they are in desperate need through disability. A typically nasty tax that we've come to expect from the 'nasty party'. Governments will always have to make sure spending priorities and housing benefit budgets are tight. There may well be a funding gap, but here's an idea, how about a '5 bedrooms or more tax' on properties? I'm willing to bet that even a modest levy would generate more than enough to fill that funding gap and it would be raised from the sector in our society most able to afford it. Call it a 'mansion tax' if you like. Ah, but wait, it's been proposed already. Strangely, Mr Davies and his party didn't seem to like that idea. One rule for the rich. one rule for the poor, eh?
