Those featured seemed to have a massive sense of entitlement and all but one seemed of foreign descent. The man who had seven kids angered me. Women who were working at Mrs C's old school couldn't afford to have that many children, yet we are paying for people who have never paid in one penny to the system to support their innumerable brood.
Also the woman who was turning her nose up at a three bedroomed house in Luton put the old blood pressure up.
We've really let some beauties in, haven't we?
All that said, the rents in London are just eye watering. £500 a week and more? Some private landlords are making shedloads of money out of housing benefit.
As we see in far too many cases where foreigners workers are living in garden sheds, a great majority of these lets are owned by foreigners.
I say far too often "I am not a racist I am a realist" sick of seeing far too many of our own treated as not second, but third rate citizens.
I truly felt sorry for the quietly spoken "English girl" who did voluntary work in a nursery, she was quiet when interviewed, her grief for her situation was obvious, she was treated with disdain "take the room in a hostel or be without a roof over your and your children's heads"
It would be interesting to learn how many immigrants and their families are living in council and other accommodations in this country on benefits paid for by the tax payer. We have had disgraceful cases of our own country people taking advantage of the system, and genuine disabled sick people losing their benefits, and we have the contrast of foreigners who have discovered that if they scream enough they will get "what they want"
