Guest Blacksheet Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 My fuckin g's Jobless Somali refugee family who have not worked since arriving in the UK in 2008 are rehoused from their £2m Hampstead council house - into a £1.3m one around the corner Family provoked outrage when they were given £2million mansion in 2011 They've now been moved into a £1.3million property due to the benefits cap Locals say the property has been expensively renovated for them Council-owned property's rent is kept low beneath the benefits cap By Richard Spillett for MailOnline Published: 09:40, 17 February 2016 | Updated: 11:25, 17 February 2016 351 shares 442 View comments A family of Somali refugees who sparked a row over council housing when they were given a £2million taxpayer-funded mansion have been moved out - into a £1.3million semi around the corner. Unemployed Saeed Khaliif, his wife Sayida and their brood provoked uproar in 2011 when they moved into one of the most expensive properties ever to be funded by housing benefit. It emerged today that the family have now vacated the six-bedroom property in West Hampstead, north-west London, due to changes in the welfare system. But campaigners have been left further outraged after they were given a property worth £3,000-a-month in rent in an up-and-coming area of the capital. +5 +5 Somali refugee Saeed Khaliif and his wife Sayida have been moved into a second north-London property +5 The couple lost their £2million Hampstead home due to the benefit cap but have got this £1.3million semi It is understood that Mr Khaliif has not worked since he arrived in Britain in 2008. The family were initially housed in a £1,000-a-month property in Coventry, West Midlands. But they caused anger when they decided they would rather live in London and were handed the keys to the huge house not far from the homes of popstar Boy George and movie director Ridley Scott. Their case was one of a number which exposed just how much was being paid out for housing benefit and prompted the government to cap benefits at £500 a week for couples with children.

Neighbours say the house underwent significant renovation before the family were moved in. Local resident Pedro Rodriguez told The Sun: 'The house is huge and it has been decorated to a very high standard with an open-plan layout, high spec kitchen and slate patio.' +5 The couple were previously given this six-bed mansion, which in 2011 was one of the most expensive properties ever to be funded by housing benefit +5 Pictured: Their previous property. Neighbours of their new home say it has also been expensively renovated The council own the property and is said to keep rents within the benefit cap, while similar properties in nearby streets command amounts of up to £3,000-a-month. Dia Chakravarty, Political Director at the TaxPayers' Alliance said: 'The welfare system is meant to be a safety net for those who are struggling, not a comfort blanket. 'Hard-pressed families struggling with their bills will be furious at such an extortionate amount being spent on housing a single family in one of the most expensive areas in London.' It is understood the couple are entitled to such a large property because two of their children have disabilities. A council spokesman said: 'Our council homes are allocated on a needs basis in line with our policy and Government legislation.'

Isnt this an extreme case, though? Swear there've been a lot of poorer londoners without disabled kids that got relocated to areas like Stoke and that. London's social cleanse is well underway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Regardless whether it's a mansion it's value is 1.3M. Why should they live in London? Send them upsuh FFS From time British single mums/families are being forced out London why they should give these refugees special treatment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PascalMoriarty Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 so you'd be less aggrieved if they moved them up north say, in a house worth half the value of their current mansion...that looked like this? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-39768714.html# 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 800K is half of 1.3M? They intitially lived in Coventry but chose London. They should not be afforded the choice. Why do they need 6 bedrooms? They have 8 children? Can they not share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
