Sledgehammer

2013-04-23 BedroomTax+

“Smash the Tory Bedroom Tax”. A Republican Network For Unity flyer protesting a provision in the 2012 Welfare Reform Act (WP), passed into law on March 8th, 2012, which would penalize welfare recipients if they are deemed to be under-occupying their home. The flyer shows what seems to be a Maoist worker taking a sledgehammer to the bill.

In addition to the flyer in good condition, above, you can see below another copy of the flyer, which can be also seen at the left-hand-side of the wall in yesterday’s post, on the front of a metal box.
