Muslim mother of eight living in £2.6m council house admits: 'I'm not going to pretend it isn't great'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1101248/Muslim-mother-living-2-6m-council-house-admits-Im-going-pretend-isnt-great.html
A mother of eight living on housing benefit in a £2.6million home provided by her London council said today: "I'm not going to pretend it isn't great."
Francesca Walker was given the property because of a loophole which means Kensington and Chelsea council had to fund a suitable home in the borough for a family of that size.
| Quote: |
| The 33-year-old Muslim convert has told of her new life in the Notting Hill townhouse with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, double living room, study and roof terrace on four floors which costs taxpayers £90,000 a year. |
Miss Walker, whose children by two fathers are aged from five to 16, said she would rather be in a job than caught in a benefits trap which leaves her worse off if she goes out to work.
She told London's Evening Standard newspaper she was grateful to escape the appalling conditions she had raised her children in until now.
"All my life I've lived in overcrowded flats on estates with gangs that kicked our door in and harassed my children, but now we're living on a street of millionaires."
Miss Walker found herself in the spotlight, cast as London's very own "slumdog millionaire", when it emerged that the taxpayer is funding her monthly rent of £7,600.
Kensington and Chelsea council moved her into the property in September, and she now has David Cameron, Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis as neighbours.
"Before we came here, we lived in some hellholes," she says. "In one flat, there were dead mice and it stank so badly we couldn't use two rooms. In another, there was a gas leak that made my children ill. For the past three years, nine of us have lived in a three-bedroom flat on the Lancaster West estate in Ladbroke Grove.
"The council had no five-bedroom council properties available and said the only way we could move was to join their LetStart Scheme, where you rent from a private landlord. It wasn't my preference but eventually I went to Foxtons and got this place, signing a three-year contract."
Miss Walker, a British-born Muslim studying psychology through the Open University, said she had been taken into care at 14 after her mother suffered a nervous breakdown, and had since attempted to rebuild her life.
She is not the only one to do well from government benefit rules, introduced in April, that oblige councils to house tenants in private properties if suitable council homes are unavailable.
This was intended to promote fairness but has led, in some cases, to a gross waste of taxpayers' money.
In October, it was revealed a family of eight Afghan immigrants were being housed in a £1.2million private home in Ealing for an annual taxpayer-funded rental of £150,000.
Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell says he will review the failing system next month but until then, insists a Kensington and Chelsea spokesman, the council's hands are tied.
He said: "When Miss Walker came to us, she was technically homeless and we had a statutory obligation to house her. We could not move her to a property outside the borough because her children go to local schools and the rules say you can't uproot them."
| Quote: |
| Miss Walker gets £15,000 a year in benefits in addition to the £91,260 rent paid by the Government via the council to the landlord's agency, Foxtons. |
She has never met her landlord, Dr Nigel Paul Armstrong, a gynaecologist in private practice at the West End's Portland Hospital and the Lister Hospital in
Chelsea. "I communicate with the landlord by text and phone," she says. "They tell me how things like the alarm system works, but I still can't get to grips with the dishwasher."
In residence: Single mother Toorpakai Saiedi and son Jawad at their £1.2m home
That must be unique to Britain or does anybody know of similar cases for example,in the US,Australia or France?

| Indeed, guests can't fail to notice she has furnished the villa in style. She has two 42in flat-screen TVs, a computer and a clutch of expensive-looking sofas and Ottoman beds. The house does not feel sparsely appointed, as some might expect, given that she's meant to be living on the poverty line and it was rented "unfurnished". |
I think I should move to the UK.

But you first have to convert to Islam, have 5 children in 5 year, divorce your husband, take another Muslim man, have 3 more children, and then you make a chance.

how is this in any way related to islam? it´s news about a fluke in british welfare-law, that´s all, the fact that the woman is a moslem convert (probably in dire need of some form and discipline in her life), doesn´t have any bearing on the outcome.

If she cannot work to support her kids and she keeps on having them, expecting others to fund her brats, then she needs to be forcibly spayed.....

This reflects badly on the British government, not on the family or Islam. They're just lucky benefactors of a stupid system.

Anything concerning Muslims has EVERYTHING to do with islam.
So, do Muslims now see that Allah shld not made kafirs into apes and pigs lest they will not be able to pay rent for horny & broody Muslims ??? 
And what about all the Quran verses that reflect sheer kafirphobia (like : not trusting kafirs, don't take kafirs as friends or leaders etc) ??? This just shows that the Quran is just full of codswallop !
Don't expect any thanks from muslims though, and as soon as they face some difficulty in their lifes they will blame every Jew/Christian/kafir under the sun. And kafirs should not expect any reciprocity in Muslim countries. See cases in Bangladesh where homeless tsunami victims (muslims) are put in houses, which owners (non-Muslims) were forcibly moved out to give way to these muslims.
