        Would love to see the plush pad she lived at prior to this if she had a home large enough for kids to run around indoors. There are folk out there who would be glad of a roof over their head. How much rent is she paying on it again?

        I'm thinking the same thing cuz the homeless in San Fran sleep in tiny tents. I used to minister to the homeless in DC & they would sleep on the ground!

        Why can’t people work for a home like the rest of us. I was always brought up to believe that if you want anything you have to work hard for it. My mother worked 3 jobs at one point. We reap what we sow. Nothing should be a given.

        A case in point. If you cannot afford 8 kids, then don't have 8 kids. This chap should be offered a shipping container if he is unwilling to accept a 4 bedroom house 😡https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1752531/father-of-eight-who-turned-down-a-four-bedroom-council-house-says-he-would-accept-one-if-it-was-spacious-enough/ …

        My Grandma was one of 13 kids. They thought they were Kings living in a 2 bedroom house which had a garden. They built a little shed in the back garden as an extra bedroom..😂🤣 We have it so easy in comparison.

        My grandfather was one of 10 children living in a ramshackle, ancient farmhouse. Every boy got married, and had descendents. None of the 6 girls did.

        Had many a lovely sheltered housing flat turned down by migrants when I was a housing officer for a charity as they didn't come with white goods. When asked by an African woman whether I would move into it without white goods I told her I'd always bought my own she put phone down

        Reason why I mentioned,? TV programme and that subject came up they found that a family gave false info they were homeless. Found out they were from Italy and the home was used as a holiday home..Now Whose against Leave ..Most of this type I reckon. Facts have shown it..
