Once again, the Great British taxpayer is ripped off by some so-called asylum seeker on the make.
If there is any justice, this wench will spend some time banged up at the tax payer’s expense, and if we had any sense, she and her brood would be on the first plane back to Kabul.
A refugee from Afghanistan living in a £1.2million mansion paid for with a colossal £3,000 a week housing benefit faces jail after admitting benefit fraud.
Toorpakai Saiedi, 38, a mother of seven, shocked Britain when it emerged that New Labour rules allowed her to live in the luxury home at taxpayers' expense.
One of her seven children even boasted that having the house paid for was like winning a lottery jackpot - and suggested it was 'mad' for the state to pay out so much.

At least we are going to some to sorting this mess out. The maximum housing benefit any one family can claim will be £400.00 per week. Even then, this is far too much IMO.

It's not her fault in the end. I meen it had to be quite obvious to the authorities that afghan refugees live in a million pounds mansion? "Well Dave, the budget is more restricted this year, you know we had to assure some billion pund mansions and some office buildings to better intagrate in the Downtown of London for refugees." I would have observed that as a suspicios bit. On the other hand with that money even thousands of refugees could been helped. Imagine you being poor, sick, dead family members, lacking food, lacking water, no electricity and you might get killed while standing in km lines for a job. Can you even imagine not having internet? There are also people like this and a faulty system + really egoist person is taking away chances from them. Remember that they later can becoome cheap labor force which is supporting British economy and saves your jobs!

Karen Buck, the shadow work and pensions minister, is in trouble for saying at a public meeting that Tory ministers simply did not want poor women, and specifically Muslim women, to live in London. She was speaking at a meeting for International Women's Day in Islington, a partly-gentrified but still gritty slice of north London, and reportedly declared that the government:
do not want lower-income women, families, children and, above all, let us be very clear – because we also know where the impact is hitting – they don't want black women, they don't want ethnic minority women and they don't want Muslim women living in central London. They just don't. They want people to be moving out of anywhere that is a more prosperous area into the fringes of London and into places like Barking and Newham. I have nothing against Barking and Newham. The problem is they are already full of people who are quite poor
As Conservative party bosses called for her to resign, Ms Buck later qualified her remarks to say that while very, very concerned about housing benefit cuts: "In the passion of a political meeting I was wrong to imply motive on behalf of Government ministers. I can't say what their intention and motives are."
So where is the split? Well, as luck would have it, the Blairite think-tank Policy Network has just published a long series of essays on how social democratic parties should cope with populist anger surrounding identity, multiculturalism and globalisation. Reading the essays, I came across this unwittingly topical thought from Trevor Phillips, head of Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission (a non-partisan post, though his essay is addressed explicitly to the centre-left). Mr Phillips writes:
the UK government’s proposals to cap rent subsidies, known as housing benefit, are said by Labour to attack black and minority ethnic households. In actual fact, while it is true that some ethnic minority families have benefited from a conspiracy between the state and landlords to drive up rents on the back of local authority payments for poor and unemployed minority families, and this would be undermined by a cap on housing benefits, the policy may benefit working minority families if it drives down rents overall, since those minority families are far more likely to be in rented accommodation and there are far more in this group than in the non-working group
