The most shocking thing to me is that somehow they're calling this normal looking 4 bed house with a loft conversion a lavish 2 million pound house with no sense of outrage at that. Still at least they're Somalis for a bit of extra indignation on a Monday morning, just not the same impact if it's just some good old fashioned white scummers moving in with their tattooed babies and 6 dads

[Little Professor]

Another nonsense story by the Daily 'Hate' Mail. There's no way they would have been able to get a council house [whether £2millionn or £100k) in Hampstead just because they 'decided to move to London from Coventry to be closer to friends and family. As usual, there's more to this story than meets the eye, but rather than doing any proper journalism, the Mail is content just to pander to its bigoted audience by putting out inflammatory coverage

[Tonkers]

Is this the same lot they reported earlier in the year, in Kensington? In that case the family said that the house was sorted out for them by 'a friend of a friend' and it stank of fraud.

[finallysold]

Prove it.

yes prove it. all too easy to label it as daily wail hysteria. it is obvious that the family is there and they are paying this amount of rent. instead of saying that it is ridiculous that any family (somali or otherwise) is paid this much, you focus on technicalities and try to dismiss this story as some sort of xenophobia on part of the mail.

These stories are all fed to the Daily Mail by council workers who are exasperated by the abuse of the system. The bare facts will be totally accurate.

Corrected for you.

Besides this is all Thatcher's fault, if she hadn't started the sell out of Council property, then these people would now be housed in council estates as would be the right thing to do.

[the gardener]

Who owns the house? There's the real benefit claimant. Probably an MP turned looting landlord.

[interestrateripoff]

If they live there they'll never ever work, as they'll never earn enough to pay the rent without state support.

[Caveat Mortgagor]

Thats £12k a year off the housing benefit bill for Coventry then.

Will make little difference..................... £120m a year bill in a city with 119,000 dwellings. Still costs the equivalent of just over £1000 per familiy per year.

[scrappycocco]

If we keep importing these unskilled people that can barely speak or use in english in everyday life and become a long term drain on social security, what state is our economy going to be in?

[@contradevian]

Taxpayers money would be better spent booting their jobless Somali asses out through Heathrow, back to Mogadishu where they belong. Asylum seekers my *rse.

We were told by Liebour that illegals or asylum seekers were not entitled to benefits. Its lie upon lie.

[@contradevian]

Now, now John, it's against their human rights.

Off to the liberal re-education camp for you.

Of course was forgetting their human rights. Thanks for correcting me!

Corrected for you.

The right thing to do was to

1. Place every Uk citizen above them on the housing list

2. Not allow any national of another country any access to the benefit system until they have contributed for a minimum of 10 years

3 Repatriate these economic migrants

4. Not allow them in, in the first place until they pass minimum standard tests for language, health and skills

congratulations, the banksters and the MSM have brainwashed you really well.

Immigration is a small side-show compared to the problems the banksters have caused and are still causing for us all every single day.

Its part of the same sideshow of keeping rents and property prices high.

This weekend. the Sunday Times exposed how landlords paid by the Border Agency were now paying themselves salaries in excess of £500k per year, the BA admitting it was probably overpaying for accomodation.

Priority Properties North West doubled profits last year to £1.2M a year, Callum Robertson its MD paying himself £558,000 per year.

The Border agency spent £151M last year, housing asylum seekers, the bulk of the cash going to just eight property companies.

And I don't think PPNW have that many properties it owns. tending to lease them from other landlords, as landlords were complaining that PPNW were trying to negotiate down the rents.

....it costs a lot of money to renovate a property to get it to a top-notch standard to charge the going rate that the private renter will pay.....cheaper to rent it out in other ways, without the renovation cost and get it handed back in the original condition (or better if lucky).

just about to say the same. I think it's assumed rightly that we can only focus or are usually only angry about one thing at a time, non-white immigration is very often that whipping boy, the real crooks have a smoke screen but it hides the much bigger issue of European immigrants that the our leaders have signed us up to and which is uncontrollable and unlimited in numbers. It's only that our economy is falling to pieces that all the people who used to come here and actually work are leaving us, with just the work shy, foreign and domestic, left sucking us dry.

now that stinks just a bit. Amazing that the Daily Mail and all it's power to cause indignation focus on the hapless lot who end up in the house when they could be highlighting this. Almost seems so convenient that it makes me wonder if they are in on it somehow.

Even if they were in council owned accommodation they would still be getting something for nothing.(and Camden council themselves had applied to convert that house and the similar looking house next door into dwellings before they sold them - they were care homes.) The issue is not that council houses were sold off, it is that there is a large (and increasing?) number of people in accommodation paid for by taxpayers and you would have that even if we had millions more council houses. The issue is not who owns the properties but who is paying for them.

[The Eagle]

The issue is not who owns the properties but who is paying for them.

The bigger issue is where the taxpayer money ends up, with council property there is no money going anywhere (apart from maintenance which means jobs for locals), while with private property real tax payer money ends up in the pockets of the slumlords and the banksters.

JEALOUS

LOL! That's the stupidest apologist comment for the banksters I have read so far.

Get back to your day-trading or your bonus for this year is at risk...

I agree in part.

Private landlord + tenant paying own bills = no problem

Council landlord + tenant paying own bills = no problem

No problem because the property is being paid for in a mutually beneficial transaction by the people involved in it. Landlord gets income to pay for the property and the tenant enjoys a secure home.

Private landlord + taxpayer paying bills = problem

Council landlord + taxpayer paying bills = problem

The people benefiting are not the people paying for it. Moral hazards abound, value for money is not a priority and money from the pockets of productive people is being spent inefficiently on things that do not benefit them.

I wouldn't mind loads of new council houses if they were for paying tenants only.
