"Somali asylum seeker family given 2m house... after complaining 5-bed London home was 'in poor area'"
As they say, you can't make this stuff up...
Chris Hastings, George Arbuthnott and Matt Sandy combined on this story in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"A family of former asylum-seekers from Somalia are living in a £2.1million luxury townhouse in one of Britain's most exclusive addresses at a cost to taxpayers of £8,000 a month.
Abdi and Sayruq Nur and their seven children moved into their three-storey property in a fashionable area of London last month because they didn't like the 'poorer' part of the city they were living in.
Mr Nur, 42, an unemployed bus conductor, and his 40-year-old wife, who has never worked, are now living in Kensington despite the fact that they are totally dependent on state benefits. "
