 i also understood the more you demand, the louder you shout you get what you want (almost like in TC, the more you shout you got upset, the more they make new rules).

 

 

WINGEING MIGRANTS GIVEN BIGGER HOUSES

 

SIX moaning asylum seekers have landed bigger council houses after winning a legal battle with taxpayers’ cash.

 

The Somalians were given free homes shortly after they arrived in Britain.

But they soon complained the accommodation was too small after their families arrived from abroad.

One refugee was in a two-bed flat, but a year later was joined here by his wife and six children. 

Another was also joined by his wife and six children before she gave birth to another child. 

They took their demands to court – using  legal aid cash – after Birmingham council said it had no accommodation left.

But yesterday it was revealed they been moved into bigger houses after winning the action. 

One got a five-bedroom mansion, four got four-bedroom homes and another received a three-bedroom house.

Birmingham councillor Malcolm Davis slammed the decision as “unbelievable”.

He said: “A two-bedroom flat for one person is over the top already when there is such a chronic shortage. It would appear that the fact they are asylum seekers has helped them qualify for legal aid.”

None of the asylum seekers is bel-ieved to be working and all were said to be living off welfare benefits.

Migrationwatch chief Sir Andrew Green said: “This may all be perfectly legal but it leaves the long-standing residents of Birmingham aghast at the manipulation of the system.”

The council plans to appeal against the ruling at the House of Lords next year.

Quoting tamikidakika

what are they?

 

 They are desparate people from Somalia.

 

Modified:

 

Who are escaping war crimes, rape, horrific murder, children abducted to fight............ things that we could never imagine and we allow them to come to England to seek Asylum.  They are locked up in prison like accomodation normally, until their asylum hearings, whcih are now supposed to be within 6 months.  They are either then return to Somalia (probably to be killed ) or placed with in our society.

 

Many are killed on their journey, some at sea - the tuna net comes to mind.  Some are rescued by the Italians but many are shipped to vairous parts of the EU, mostly for extortionate sums of money by unscrupulous captains or some other unknown individual.

 

And then we wonder why they hijack ships.
