Um one of them has no right to remain in the country just suspended here until its safe to return home...while they ask, can they live here permanently instead of returning home
The other one has the same rights as someone born here.
I have simplified this as I'm busy.
My point was that neither shouold have a right to live in a £6000 per month home after leaving a perfectly good place in another part of the country.0 -

If you read the article it actually says
"Housing benefit was recently capped at £400 per week, but the Khaliifs are able to claim more because they moved before the change came into force. According to property sources, the house was being advertised at a rent of £7,800 per month.":beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

What's happening is within rules because of high housing costs & shortage of housing.
These people are not to blame.
peeps your brains & don't be manipulated.
Total rubbish.
If you read the article the claimants already had a property provided generously by the state in Coventry.
The move had nothing to do with housing shortage.
What was that about using your brains?0 -
It was going to be last April but the warnings were so many would be forced to move away from London, it would be a mass exodus like nothing the UK has ever seen.
The knock on effects would be house prices and rents crashing in London which would crash the housing market in the rest of the country.
So they have postponed it until next year.0 -

They appear to have moved out of a place in Coventry at 1/6th of the rent and demanded housing in an expensive part of London. That has little to do with high housing costs and is all about taking advantage of the system at the expense of others.0 -
Do you know all facts other then prejudiced xenophobe racist rubbish served by daily fail ?
I am commenting on a story relayed. If you prove the facts they cite to be incorrect I will offer up a full unabridged apology here.
It's nothing to do with race, that's boring claptrap.
For the record : I am against any family on long term benefits being able to live in a property outside the means of 90% of the working population. Work and reward have to mean something in society.0
