PERHAPS our Conservative and Liberal Democrat Members of Parliament, elected to serve their constituents throughout the respective areas of the paper's readership, might care to give readers the figures from within their own constituencies of tenants who are now in arrears and facing eviction, thanks to the diabolical 'death' tax on some bedrooms, which have already caused the suicides of tenants penalised and desperate, through no fault of their own.

While they're about it, those honourable members might also care to count the number of council properties available to tenants facing evictions, because there appear to be discrepancies in the numbers of smaller homes available throughout their constituencies, in which to accommodate all those existing numbers of bedroom tax victims, as well as the predicted increases of those unlikely to be able to cope with the increasing cost rises in food, fuel and other necessities in order to survive.

This Bedroom Tax is nothing less than monstrous. It will go down in history as one of the cruellest and most callous creations of the coalition. An imposition which has already cost lives and may well cost more.

It has been thrust upon the vulnerable by selfish politicians, many of whom own more than one home of their own, who are completely out of touch and who know little about the hardships experienced by those less fortunate and who care even less.

Waxing lyrical and trumpeting twaddle about their parties, whilst causing so much hardship and misery to many, each and every one of them who failed to raise their voices and their hands in opposition to such deliberate wickedness should hang their heads in shame. They are a blight upon those constituencies which they represent, constituencies which include many poor people, poor and vulnerable people who deserve better and more compassionate representation than that to which they are condemned by this selfish and cruel coalition to suffer.
