This is a disgrace, I'm sorry no I'm not buying this poor excuse. You would expect this sort of thing from a Tory council but labour!
I very much doubt a labour council in the north would ever think of a dreadful thing like this.

Camden council plans to move 761 poor families from London
Council says welfare cuts force shift of 2,816 adults and children to areas up to 200 miles away with lower housing rents
A council is planning the largest single displacement of poor people from London in the wake of the coalition government's controversial welfare reforms, singling out more than 700 families to be moved up to 200 miles away.
Camden council said that it would shortly be contacting 761 households, comprising 2,816 adults and children, because the coalition's benefit cap – which limits total welfare payments to £500 a week for families – will mean that they will be unable to afford their current accommodation or any other home in the south-east.

If this goes ahead then democracy is truly dead.
