So it's just fine to chuck an elderly couple or widow out of what was

Umm, we were talking about the "bedroom tax". Which doesn't apply to

But many elderly people DO need to move to properties that better suit
their needs, yes. In fact, I'm currently in the middle of discussions
around that with the housing association who my old man rents from.
