As said most people get nowhere near the benefit cap. It is mis-reperted to enrage and divide people. To pit us all against each other rather than looking at the bigger picture.
The cap was simply a grasping means to save money and a weak attempt to apply pressure to high rents, by punishing indivdual tenants when it is the housing shortage and structural economic issues that are the problem.
The Tories love to place emphasis on the individual tyring to sort out what the govt won't/ can't, but couldn;t give a toss about whether it is even possible or not.
Many people on benefits will find it almost impossible to move house because of the prejudice that LLs have against benefit tenants. So moving is very often not even an option. And with less and less money coming in, people cannot afford the moving fees, agent fees, removals etc, or in particular the rent up front that might just, just get them a new house.
And that is ignoring the structural issues/ problmes of removing thousands of poor people from the south east! Because high rents exist for almost everywhere within 1 1/2 hours of London, not just London itself.
The Tories just give out this bullshit about taking individual responsibility and cutting red tape etc but do nothing to actually enable people. Rather they trap them with a special combination of both intentional policy and complete ineptitude to even bring about what they 'say' they believe in. (And that isn't the empowerment and freedom of the average working person)
