(no – it’s not satire – it’s out-of-touch Tory MPs!)
After some excellent research by Inside Housing (hat tip to Anne-Marie Spiritualist Medium for noticing this) – the social housing organisation found at least 7 blundering Tory MPs who have written letters to councils to complain about the unfair effects of the Bedroom Tax on their constituents – despite the fact they personally voted for the policy themselves!
Tory MPs Andrew Selous, Jackie Doyle-Price, Richard Drax, Henry Smith, John Randall, Owen Paterson and Alistair Burt have all complained to their local councils about the way their constituents will be affected by the bedroom tax.
See Inside Housing’s article here:
Tory MPs voice bedroom tax worries
I know some Tory MPs are not especially known for being the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree – but is it really too much to expect our elected representatives to know what the hell they’re voting for before they actually go ahead and vote for it?
Clearly in the case of these bumbling dumbbells – it is.

Can’t help but wonder if this is still more Tory arrogance… they think us ‘plebs’ are too stupid to know about their double-speak.

I noted from an early age that the Tories prattle about responsibility ,yet take absolutely none and yes, seem to actually believe it is us who do not understand,when of course they either are rather stupid or deem us as such.Those of us,who dare to question their utterations beyond taking them at face value are a danger to them.Still,many actually believe the disabled are exempt,when of course that is far from the case,merely new guidance issued.Further,you cannot appeal a DP decision.The worst aspect of the BT to me,that it is so cynically targetted for purely political machinations,the financial “savings” a ruse.

As director of ConservativeHomeland.con, I’m delighted to announce the government’s new spare wheel tax. Research by IDS’s Centre for Social Justice clearly shows that most poor people have more wheels on their vehicles than they need …it found that four wheel family cars are perfectly safe with three wheels if all the children are piled together on one side and if the car is kept stationary.
The government recognises of course that this tax will affect around 600,000 poor people and that there will be fatalities amongst those who chose to drive their minus-one-wheel cars. But there will be a discretionary transitional hardship fund administered by Local Authorities which will pay for first aid kits or funerals for the most in need individuals. And after all, even if some die, our economic policies will see that only the people who deserve our support will prosper .
We must reduce the deficit – we are all in this together – #VOTETORY

is it worth pointing out that Owen Paterson is a government minister?

Am not one bit surprised. I watched a ‘debate’ on bt where only about a dozen mps, mostly labour, bothered to turn up, then they all rushed in at the end to vote. They shouldn’t be allowed to vote on a debate they can’t be bothered to listen to and know nothing about!
