She was quoted as saying she had a "right" to live in such a house, paid for by the hapless British taxpayer. Unbelievable.
It's referenced on the previous page. Watch out though, Sigmund raggatwin will accuse you of wanting to sleep with your mother.
Ooops, sorry.
Think about it, though, it's so outrageous that it made the *CANADIAN* news. Aside from the Olympics, the only time the UK is in the Canadian news is when Kate Middleton farts.
Well the thing with these stories is that invariably there's somebody making a packet out of it. raggatwin sitting in his subsidised council house perusing the latest issue of Sociology Monthly is unaffected; his rent remains low and he is free to indulge in his name-calling against anybody who questions the insanity of mass immigration.
I think everybody who wants to live in coucil housing should. I am totally against the right to buy scheme. I believe that more council houses should be built as a means of not only housing people but also driving unscrupulous private sector landlords out of business, it is they who set rents not 'somali immigrants' who don't benefit from the rent paid. Of course hose building will also drive the economy upwards like it did in the 50s.....

Why does the UK need immigrants anyway? It's a small country with a large population, i.e. it has twice the population of Canada but is 1/40 the size of Canada. Isn't it crowded enough?

The government has vested interests. They have the value of their property portfolios to keep up and their bosses in big business want to keep wages and job security low for the proles. Add in PC culture, human rights lawyers like Cherie Blair coining it in, and there you have it.
We have graduates coming out of universities with decent degrees struggling to find gainful employment but we're importing the Third World to live in Fulham at the taxpayer's expense. It's one huge scam at the expense of the British people.

As I've frequently argued on here, nobody rational has a problem with immigration per se. It's the system that is flawed. How the hell can a Palestinian 'refugee' be handed a house in Fulham? Name me a single country other than the UK where that would happen.
And Ireland is actually about the only country where a 'refugee' would flee to the UK from. I'm amazed how many African 'refugees' end up here; I'll have to look at my map again just to check that border we have with the dark continent.
But you don't have a rational debate about it. You assume what my views, in particular, are about the subject when you don't know what they are - merely because i choose to counter what you write. Facts i don't dispute it's your casual racism and linking to the Daily Mail that I can't abide....
Anyway i'm off out now, gotta help some Russian friends move into a council flat, that's okay though, cos they are white, well sort of....
