The specific nationality of the people involved is irrelevant but the fact that they are asylum seekers does seem relevant to me. How come they have been able to get such a ludicrous level of benefit when some people who were born and brought up here (of whatever shade or hue or ethnicity) have to make do with a lot less? You'd expect refugees to be thankful for a safe haven never mind dismissing a property because it doesn't have a driveway for their car. Plenty of people have to cope without a driveway for their car and end up not even being able to park close to their own home and they are hard working tax paying home owners!

There may be some sort of red-tape nonsense which prevents her older 'children' from working but it seems totally barmy.
