Kosovan style ethnic cleansing or common sense?
Good old Boris Johnson has come under fire today for describing coalition plans to cap housing benefits as "kosovan style ethnic cleansing."
Johnson argues that many families living in upper class areas of London will be forced to move home to less desirable areas and will lead to greater class division.
I'm not so sure I agree. Many private landlords in London are currently abusing the system by charging excessive rent on properties leased to council tenants. If faced with a choice of losing the tenant completely because their housing benefit doesn't cover the rent and having an empty property, or simply lowering the rent, it's not rocket science to see which option would be the more likely.
I don't think this is an attack on council tenants living in upper class areas. Quite the opposite. I think this is an attack on greedy wealthy landlords who have been as guilty as any benefit cheat of scamming the system for far too long.

Boris must think it's OK for the tax payer to fork out £2 000 a week for immigrant housing then?
I agree that it's the greedy Landlords who must either lower their rents or lose out.

I think Boris has sold out...
He's more interested in keeping his position as Mayor of London than doing what's best for the country.

I can't stand Red Ken, and I think Boris is the lesser of two evils. I just loathe politicians in General, they are self-serving sycophants and don't give shit about the electorate.
