Council House Crackdown
Comments

Sorry rant...
I watched "Council House Crackdown" the other day on BBC where a likely immigrant (non British name and appearance [and YES I believe this is relevant]) with a British Passport was illegally subletting a flat in Greenwich. If that wasn't enough he then applied for "Right-to-Buy" which if he'd been successful would have netted him a windfall of over £103,000.
And I'm sure that this sort of thing goes on unreported. I have a friend who knows a friend who works for Kensington and Chelsea Council who estimates over 20% of their social housing is illegally sublet.
That's only relevant if if people with a non British name and appearance are the only people who commit this offence, clearly that isn't so and therefore completely irrelvant.
As for the friend of a freind..........................It's nothing , not nothink.0
