>Sky News - Crackdown On 'Rich' Council House Tenants
>
>Big earners living in council houses or flats 
>and paying cheap subsidised rents are to lose 
>the perk in a Budget crackdown this week.
>
>Sky News understands George Osborne will 
>announce that anyone earning over £40,000 in 
>London or £30,000 outside the capital will lose 
>benefits and have to pay the full market rent.
>
>The crackdown, which will save taxpayers £250m a 
>year, is aimed at the likes of Frank Dobson, who 
>still lives in a council flat near the British 
>Museum, despite serving as a Cabinet Minister 
>under 
><https://uk.news.yahoo.com/tony-blair/>Tony 
>Blair and earning a six-figure salary.
>
>The late Bob Crow lived in a council house in 
>east London, thought to be paying just £150 a 
>week in rent, while he was the militant leader 
>of the RMT union with a pay and perks package of 
>more than £140,000. When challenged, he said he 
>made “no apology” for living in social housing.
>
>Now the Chancellor is expected to use 
>Wednesday’s Summer Budget to announce an end to 
>a system that sees hundreds of thousands of 
>higher earners using the benefit system to claim 
>taxpayer-funded subsidies for their rent.
>
>Mr Osborne is likely to announce that from 
>2017/18 those on incomes above £40,000 in London 
>and £30,000 in the rest of England that live in 
>housing association and local authority 
>properties, will be charged a market or near market rent.
>
>The move follows steps taken over the last five 
>years that enabled housing associations and 
>local authorities to charge market rents to 
>those on incomes of more than £60,000.
>
>The Government estimates that higher income 
>social tenants benefit, on average, over £3,500 
>per household from reduced rent and represent 
>approximately 9% of all social tenants in England.
>
>This includes over 40,000 social rented tenants 
>with household incomes in excess of £50,000 per 
>year; and a further 300,000 with incomes over £30,000 per annum.
>
>The additional rental income that local 
>authorities receive from ending these 
>taxpayer-funded subsidies will be returned to 
>the Treasury and used to reduce national debt.
>
>Dubbed "Pay to Stay" in Whitehall, the crackdown 
>will raise up to £250m per year in 2018-19 
>towards reducing the deficit and generate extra 
>income for housing associations to reinvest in affordable housing.
>
>The emergence of a purge on rich council house 
>tenants follows the disclosure by Sky News that 
>Mr Osborne will use his Budget to announce 
>raising the inheritance tax thresholds for couples to £1m .

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which 
alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
