You could also argue that 'families' should stop breeding until they have a big enough roof over their head without the need to force people out of homes full of memories they have lived in for years.

Or government could just invest in a social housing building program and create some jobs, instead of targeting people using the 'all benefit claimants are scroungers' argument. I suggest using the money earmarked for the EU and foreign aid.
