Typical, fine for the rich who can afford a bedroom for each child but not so good for those in social housing and on benefits. Doesn't mean their children don't need the same benefits of space to learn and study etc.

The Education Secretary Michael Gove has said.each child needs a bedroom to themselves to fulfill their academic potential

Michael Gove said having a ‘room of one’s own’ provided space to learn and read.

But he was immediately accused of hypocrisy as critics pointed out that new Government rules decree a child aged under 16 in a home receiving housing benefit has to share a room with a sibling of the same gender.

Am I :-S or is the Education Secretary:-S - or is the Education Secretary now saying the Bedroom Tax is a mistake or is this just another example of how out of touch this bunch of millionaires are with ordinary working people :-|

Is David Cameron and his circle of elite cronies that sit round the cabinet table totally out of touch with Joe Public - feel free to join in if you are as disillusioned as I am :-S

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
