This sort of situation makes me sick to the stomach, l have worked my nuts off for years, l have been unemployed three times, and the longest time l was out of work was three years, and we were given peanuts and when we applied for certain things we were turned down.

They get everything they want and it makes you want to puke, l know for a fact concerning these families, as we have a family that live next door, when our neighbour passed away five years ago, we were quite relieved when a nice family came to our door and introduce themself and two children, and were told they were moving in on the Monday.

11.45pm on the Sunday we heard noises from next door, so as a good neighbour l went to have a look, and there were seven women moving in, we found out they came from Somalia and this was there THIRD house since coming here in two years, we went through two months of hell, before we pulled the plug and did something, we found out that they were all on benefit, our weekly rent if £95 per week, we now get on quite well, BUT this thread is only the bottom of a big problem we have, They are moving onto our estates vertially on a weekly basis. Benefit agency and local councils should draw the line at what it pays out, give them dingy flats to live in until they find work and can pay the rent to get proper places.
