The age group most likely to have spare bedrooms aren't affected.

That is a lie. Most kids have left home and
left bedrooms unused LONG before that.

What's that got to do with the age group with the most spare bedrooms?

The group over 61 are the only ones not affected
by the bedroom tax and very few of those would
still have any kids still at home just before that.

Nonsense, but either way, why should they be exempt from the bedroom tax?
Well it's not a tax so exemption isn't applicable.
But older people have generally been in their homes for much longer and
are less mobile and more emotionally impacted by change. That's not an
absolute reason for not reducing the benefit but it just another example
of how the Nasty Party mantle is passing over from the Tories to the
left.
