    It's not all bad news out there - some people are doing pretty well

    http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standa...use/article.do

    A single mother of seven is living in a £1.2 million west London house while the local council pays the £12,000 a month rent, it has emerged today.

    Unemployed Toorpakai Saindi, her four sons and three daughters, live for free in the seven-bedroom detached house in Acton.

    Ms Saindi approached Ealing council, which had a legal obligation to find her a seven-bedroom property, in July after being made homeless.

    It is understood the council did not have a suitable house available so turned to the private sector.

    But the move has angered neighbours and campaigners who say vast sums of taxpayers' money are being wasted in housing benefit, and claim a more suitable property could have been found.

    The criticism comes after it emerged that the council is paying private landlord, Ajit Panesar, £12,458 a month for the home - twice the market rate.


    Boomed!

          ok it's probably not a great way to spend public money, but far bigger quantities of cash are being pi5sed away elsewhere on far worse things (ill-advised military campaigns for instance). why the obsession with single mums, ethnic minorities and unemployed?
