Housing benefit isn't brilliant, but we can't just cut it off without a huge expansion of council house building for people to live in instead.

Sure I'm not proposing a single "solution". However I am saying that housing benefit is a substantial part of the near-enslavement of the UK. It's so bad even "shelter" haven't been calling for it recently as it dawns on them how things actually work and that they've been campaigning for the bankers for years.
