So if you don't believe it, what proof are you going to provide?

THEY made the claim.

THEY get to do the proving.

THAT'S how it works.

The problem for a government is always to attempt to get the money needed
to run the country with the minimum of pain to the people who live under
them. Sometimes certain sectors of society, get clobbered more than was
intended.

Separate matter entirely to whether there is any
evidence to substantiate that extra ordinary claim.

End of story.

Fraid not.

Don't believe this one

A report commissioned by the government suggests over three
quarters of those affected by the government's controversial
bedroom tax have had to cut back spending on food.

Or more strictly, I don't believe that over 3/4 of those affected
by the bedroom tax have had to cut back spending on food,
whatever some fool report commissioned by the govt claims.
