Yes, it will. I don't know how much rent you pay, but when the average rent price of a 1BEDROOM home is over £900/m, yes reducing benefits to £500/m for the entire family would make people homeless. A LOT of people. And if it happens, they'll have to funnel those savings straight into the police force to combat the crimewave they create.

So you are saying that giving a family £500 per week for doing jack shit isnt enough ?

Thats more than 2 grand a month, and thats more than me and my family have to live on a month and I have to work fucking hard to earn my wage. It's shit like this that has got us in the mess we are in. As BP says, roll on the crash.
