No Money To Build Houses??

[MrMoran]

The story was in the daily mail

 

It is probably exaggerated out of all proportion.

 

Probably or possibly?

"As £170,000 a year is spent on an Afghan single mother... A story that sums up the howling insanity of modern Britain.

 

One person who will not be losing any sleep over the impact of the financial crisis is Toorpakai Saiedi, an Afghan mother of seven living in West London and receiving £170,000 a year in benefits.

While millions worry about the prospect of losing their jobs, their homes, their savings and their pensions, she is luxuriating in a £1.2 million double-fronted, seven-bedroom Edwardian villa - her staggering rent of more than £12,000 a month picked up by the British taxpayer.

Ealing Council has a statutory duty to find accommodation for the family. But because it didn't have anything big enough on its books, it approached a private letting agent - and then agreed a rent five times the going rate."

 

Maybe we should pop over to Afghanistan for a holiday, wonder if we would get what this "poor" woman gets over here. Answers on the back of a stamp please.

 

Maybe the NEW LIEbour party are paying, as they are responsible for our "open borders policy".

The story is three years old, and was one of the things that opened people's eyes to the stupidity of housing low income families in excessively expensive housing that the majority of us could never afford. Fortunately it was a rare occurrence and as a rule only happened in the most expensive parts of London. I'm also fairly sure there was a discussion on here when it was news in 2008.
