CIH bedroom tax protestors gearing up for ‘gangster’ Freud

Campaigners against the government’s controversial bedroom tax have amassed outside the Chartered Institute of Housing’s (CIH) conference in Manchester. A large crowd gathered outside the Manchester Central building to protest the under-occupancy policy that sees social housing tenants docked up to 25% of their housing benefit if they are deemed to have spare bedrooms.Tenants personally affected by the policy spoke passionately about their experiences, at the event organised by campaign group Greater Manchester Against the Bedroom Tax.
