[Closed] So what's the Daily Mail playing at with this story?

Classic daily mail. Plays the race card, anti councils, anti labour, anti immigration in one story and of course does not state the reason why this happens - there are no council houses left as they were all sold off.

and who's fault was that TJ 😆

The BNP are our only hope and that's a fact.

Lol - that's from the best rated comment.

and who's fault was that TJ

Gimme an F

I particularly liked these nuggets :-

Last month, it was revealed that a Somali family of nine are living in a £1.8million central London house costing £1,600 a week.

And a family of eight Afghan immigrants have been housed for the last 14 months in a £ 1.2million house in Ealing, West London, at a cost so far of £168,000

No mention or evidence that these families were in England illegaly, so why need to mention their country of origin at all. How many white English families are being housed at ludicrous expense because all the 'kin council housing has been sold off ?
Typical hateful Mail cr@p.

This is a bus-load of flies that are being sent on holiday to Africa. They'll enjoy Somalia - but should they?"

Since when does five bedrooms = mansion?

And who was it that decided to rent and house her there - some knob in the council!

Does she really need 8 children? I think not. I'd be happy with just two, or maybe three if the third was exceptionally gifted/ruthless and likely to allow me to retire at 45 in a life of luxury.

Take her 5 least favourite children and rent them out to despot run countries as mercenaries. Do I have to tell the government how to do EVERYTHING??!

Council staff love to spend your money inefficiently and without proper checks and balances. The reason for this is simple; they have no business savvy, they have no natural predators to their organisation, just a captive audience of rate payers who WILL have to cough up come what may! They make no allowances for the pressures we are all under in this recession. It's a Tax and spend mentality with no regard for the welfare of the "golden goose" - the council tax payers! The service we get back just gets worse and worse to boot.

The Labour government are the masters of this sort of profligacy. I recently listened to a programme on R4 about the rise of certain council bosses to positions in national government, some even made it to high office. This public spending frenzy therefore comes as no surprize!

Seems like Brown is hell bent on bankrupting the country now that he knows he's loosing power in a few months time. He'll leave a monumental mess that his successors will have great difficulty correcting. This will make the worthy successors unjustly very unpopular. It's almost like an exact opposite to the way the Labour party benefitted from the great shape the country was in when they came to power. All due to the conservatives (as unpopular as they may have been pre-Tony Blair's premiership).

Did Labour really commit us tax payers to giving billions of pounds worth of overseas aid to help developing countrys develop green practices? (£8Bn) Did they agree to let the EU subsidy we used to get lapse, even though we are the worst hit country by the banking debacle and due to labour's own profligate public spending policy?

Judging by last week's pre-budget report, Mr Darling and Mr Brown clearly think the way to control this massive mounting debt with yet further spending! It's set to hit £1.4 Trillion pounds, a bill more than the one we ran up fighting the second world war! You can't keep employing council workers to get us out of recseeion. It's like using batteries to run a generator to recharge the same batteries - inefficiency will result in eventual failure. You produce nothing but waste.

Socialist ideals may be honourable in theory, but in the real world they don't work because they typically reward those who don't contribute and who are irresponsible. They disproportionately penalise the wealth creators and financially responsible individuals.

Also, it is patently unjust towards every British citizen (let alone those who foot the tax bills), by allowing destitute people to rock up from elsewhere in the world, to sign on and take advantage lavish benefits for which they have not paid a penny! Humanitarian ideals are honourable, but a soft system like ours just gets abused. We have enough enduring local problems to deal with before we take on the responsibilities of failed governments in other parts of the world.

With such ridiculous imbablances in benefits and what is fair, sensationalist headlines will abound and quite rightly so. Well done to any journalist who brings this to the attention of the British public!

Councils should exist to serve a local economy. Business and weath creation is what must come first, services second. If that economy is failing, the council services should be downscaled, just like any other business.

what is the weather like in suffolk sponge bob?

Probably cold and wet, just like the rest of the country.

Spongebob ...have you signed up at the Mail you will go down a storm there , right wing, ill informed a bit ranty.

What are your views on Diana and does mtb cause or cure cancer?

Thank god we've got the banking system to show the capatilist utopia.

Can I be bothered?

Spongebob - rarely have I heard such a bunch of ill informed claptrap on here.

This is simply wrong. Illegals are not entitled to any benefits nor is any other immegrant unless they have been contributing for a year

Our benefit levels are far below that of other EU countries anyway

Wrong. Browns tactics on the credit crunch are widely acknowledged world wide to be the best way of dealing with the situation. Our national debt is high but not as high as some, Tory party policy is to do nothing - which would have made the recession worse and if they are elected next year it will be an utter disaster economically as their cut taxes / cut spending attitude will tip us back into recession. See what happened in the states in the 30 s for a good example.

We are taxed less than most competitor countries and have lower public spending.

Councils should exist to serve a local economy. Business and weath creation is what must come first, services second. If that economy is failing, the council services should be downscaled, just like any other business.

so the least able to defend themselves, the old the sick and the homeless have to pay for the mistakes and greed of the bankers? How many old people should die - cos that is waht would happen - for you to be happy.

Edit - we will have one more

Judging by last week's pre-budget report, Mr Darling and Mr Brown clearly think the way to control this massive mounting debt with yet further spending!

It is - see the new deal in the USA in the 1930s - this is simply the best way to deal with this sort of financial crisis

even though we are the worst hit country by the banking debacle

Is that the private sector banks that are the models of probity that should be used to show the public sector how things should be done?
And remind me, who was it who deregulated the banks in the first place?

If that economy is failing, the council services should be downscaled, just like any other business

Hilarious - so by cutting back on education, we will ensure the long term growth of the econmy, is that what you're saying? The banks fekked up, bins can be emptied once a month rather than once a week? People are living in poverty, what we need are fewer police on the streets?

Spongebob - rarely have I heard such a bunch of ill informed claptrap on here.

fek me, well done spongebrain, you've got me and tj agreeing on something
