The entire team of clowns working at this council should be fired and made to make up the losses. He was a convicted fraudster and an illegal immigrant and still managed to hoodwink all the different government departments! Seriously, just disband this government department and start over with professionals.

Just as I thought, the fraudsters get away with little punishment. Toward the end the court case was settled by giving the property back and paying a small legal bill of the council. The fraudster was getting at least 1300 per month for years and when the council got possession they found that the property had been converted to 5 bedsits, meaning that way more than 1300 per month was being made. The fraudster accumulated tens of thousands of pounds and ending up being punished with just a couple of thousand as a legal bill, which they probably never paid. Totally ridiculous, no wonder people do these frauds!

Meanwhile the taxpayers money is thrown at you and the organisations that are working for you, in the guise of 'refugee' status, paid for of course by the british taxpayer, do their best to make sure you're not deported. The system is being abused big time and all the Brits know it while our leaders turn a blind eye, why?

I do hope they treat these applicants who have no right to claim anything in the UK with the PC that we appear to be using for all and sundry. Some of the customer service staff can be quite if not more than quite oppressive towards those who are upfront and genuine, Meanwhile there is a "Welcome to the UK, where you can really have it all for free" for those who come here and cheat and lie. I know it is all nationalities and yet the reason most come is because they are told of the 'soft ways of the UK and the easy ways to take. If you are upfront and honest you are likely to be waiting for a long time for council property. I have watched on here and in RL the truth of it all. We are second class citizens in our own country and there are so many defrauding and fiddling the system, that is how we will stay. I saw a council block of flats renovated in 2002 for Afghanistanis mainly but many others came also. They were accepted asylum seekers. It was just across from the Salvation Army hostel for the homeless, which had 113 residents and some of those were veterans. They could look out of the big lounge window and see the renovated flats and so many young men with lifetime tenancies. One young man in the hostel waited for 2 years and you could only remain in the hostel for 2 years, he was 'lucky' to be given a manky flat right away from the main town, while the renovated block was 2 bus stops away from the town centre. No-one appears to be doing their job properly and still far too many who never worked here have lifetime tenancies through various councils and claim benefits. I wonder if the time will come when all of this is properly investigated and those who should not be here are actually deported, for the word is often used but with the left wing lawyers and free legal aid and this section and that, they remain in the UK for years, taking all they can. I am ashamed to be British I have no issue with anyone coming into the UK to work and contribute, but this economic migrant scenario needs to be stopped and fast. How are they being allowed to take so much of the taxpayers and no-one seems to be aware or care. It just goes on and on and I do wonder how many more will come for there is far, far too many young men of fighting age already here and what they are all up to who knows? I doubt that intelligence can be watching all the ones they know of in the UK and the numbers they are not aware of possibly risk more of a security breach than the known terrorists

What I don't understand is why the information from one department in the council is not a available to all other departments? It doesn't even have to be all information. They need to set up a system where when the name is put into the system there would be a warning sign and who to contact within the council for more information. This would have prevented the same man from getting anything else from the council. Another thing, is if the social services offices are like those here in Canada the workers are vastly overworked. (Most of which have lost their entire sense of humanity.) Given the amount of money they lose because of fraud, they could hire extra staff which would therefore allow the intake workers to do a better job of vetting the applicants. Or they could have a separate department dedicated to the information gathering of the applicants. It would go a long way in cutting the council's losses. And yet another thing, they are being much too lenient on the fraudsters. Once they are caught, there should be an automatic jail term the length of which would depend on how long it's been going on and how much funds have been taken. The tenant should be made to pay the entire sum they've defrauded including the rent. And no more of the council being willing to not go to court just to get the keys back. All fraudsters should be treated the same. The only way to deter these types of people is to make the consequences harder. Once word gets around about what will happen the fraudsters may start thinking twice before ripping off the council.

Council housing. So many reasons why there is a shortage and rife with corruption. Properties were sold off. Money not reinvested in further housing, for starters. Earnings threshold not reviewed effectively. Nepotism and housing provided to friends and family. Depending on type of tenancy difficult to evict. Social housing is given to those in priority need, this causes resentment amongst others that wait for years to get rehoused in a bigger property. Maybe explored that and the standards applied. These cases are extraordinary. There are many people that go unnoticed that sublet and fraudulently claim benefits. Social housing needs to be more transparent and have a complete overhaul. Not just in Croydon, everywhere. They displace families by moving them to areas with cheaper properties,no support network and often with other social problems,which then become the new council’s problem. This documentary is an insult to those in need of social housing. The condition of the properties they are frequently offered, are abysmal. When they protest they are told they are not homeless and then remove them from the housing register. The money spent in investigating fraudsters might be better spent in building/buying more fit for purpose housing.

Why are the people not being given a comprehensive check before money or housing is given out .

I really like the way the council houses look. Makes it easier to blend in to the rest of the neighbourhoods. BUT I also think it's a gross waste of land. Put up medium rises to high rises in their place. The councils could reduce their waiting lists substantially by putting their land to a much better solution. Also, and this next bit is very close to my heart. As a single person I am discriminated against. I am only allowed to have a studio apartment or a one bedroom. If I can afford a two bedroom then I should be allowed to have a two bedroom.

The reason single people aren't allowed to have a larger property is because - if a person was entitled to 3 bedrooms and paid fir a 4 or even 5 bed then families needing a 4 or 5 bed would be left without a home!

Yes, that's the same reasoning given here in Canada. I do understand why but it still makes me a tad irked. In the subsidized high rises they quite often have "street value" which is still lower than regular buildings. I live off my old age pension and the going rate for a decent, clean bug-free one bedroom averages about $1700 and that doesn't always include utilities like electricity and heating. My pension is approximately $2,000 per month which doesn't leave me much to live on. The small city I live in has areas that are more expensive than Toronto which is only 120 miles down the road. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Very shallow TV. I personally don’t have a TV for the above reason. It’s great on youtube as you can avoid the cut & paste presentation nonsense and just forward to the last couple of minute regarding each case. Looking at the sentences given to the offenders it’s very much in Shakespeare’s words, ‘much ado about nothing’. Authorities have to be very naive to think the punishment fits the crimes. (Although the justice system is out of their hands) For the career criminals it’s a very worthwhile calculated risk to hoodwink the councils. Most people would jump at the chance to do a couple of years inside for a few hundred grand with no monies recovered. It’s a no brainer in normal or difficult times for the opportunist to break the law. We all understand the need for councils to investigate and evict.Unfortunately with the ridiculous leniency of the courts the system generates and regurgitates its woefully inadequate not fit for purpose problems which contributes to a broken society! Now back to my books.

Are council flats/homes free to the actual tenant?
@Fleurbunny Жыл бұрын
Almost in some cases. You can claim housing benefit, this will be paid to assist your needs based on your income. Some people get their full rent paid, plus a discount from their council tax, others get some of their rent paid, whilst others will get nothing and be expected to pay their full rent, such as if in permanent, full time employment. This sadly is what leads to what’s known as the ‘benefits culture’, when people choose not to pursue work of any kind, so they don’t need to pay anything, and live entirely from the state, and those of us who do work full time and pay taxes, fund that lifestyle. There are a lot of documentaries on a channel called ‘Real Life’, where the attitudes of these people are highlighted. They deliberately perform poorly in interviews for employment. It also seems to be a family cycle: as many kids as possible, from an early age, claim every possible benefit. These are the people with the latest technology in their homes, huge TVs, nice cars and annual family holidays overseas. It’s absolutely NOT everyone, but there definitely are a few who see it as almost a career choice. (Sorry! This comment turned into a bit of a rant, it just infuriates me! I work hard long hours as an NHS nurse, and I couldn’t dream of having the holidays, cars and mega TVs that I’ve seen in the homes of people claiming everything they possibly can).

In most cases. So in London, you have working people living in tiny rooms in shared flats and next door you have jobless people living in independent accommodation. Go figure.

@@squidguard4743 oh I’m sure they do, and probably should have made it clear that this is the few not the many. I do know one couple in particular who I’m certain are not being honest about many things, eg, that they live together. They have a disability vehicle, but both took part in mini marathons and other highly energetic sporting events - yet one uses crutches when attending GP surgery, hospital appointments etc. One time it was noted that this person attended appointment claiming almost complete immobility and terrible pain, the day after this appointment he began his walk along the West Highland Way (a difficult and long hike/walk for experienced hikers/walkers, it can take many days to complete). This is the couple who go to Portugal twice a year, actually this New Year just past, they went to Morocco. I do know if other families who take foreign holidays and lives ‘apparently’ entirely on benefits, but when I’ve looked at what’s available for people, and the max they can claim on each as a single person with children, this still doesn’t amount to enough to afford their lifestyle.
