Westminster council-A shocking waste of taxpayers money

At a time when local authorities are making people redundant we have this council wasting millions of taxpayers money on this.
The article states that the council has a legal duty to rehouse them, well do it in an area of the country which is cheaper , what right do they have to stay in central London when most people even on quite good salaries working their socks off cannot afford to live there
They were getting £700 a week housing benefit on a four bedroom property. It's almost as if we are supposed to feel sorry for this family who are having to live on takeaways.
There is also the madness of having so many children, eight so far and he has the nerve to bleat about his plight on TV when the hardpressed taxpayer is paying for his everexpanding brood
