This is the sort of thing that really fuck me off

£12,000 a month rent

I get housing benefit and my rent is £480 a month, but the government only give me £400 of it as they say there are other properties in the same area for less.

I guess it really does pay to be an ethnic minority with kids.

Or maybe you should apply and get approved of a rental apartment in the very centre of London, then they'll pay for it because "that's the amount we give for people wanting to live in 1 million pound apartments"

That story is ridiculous..

And you can bet on the other side of the coin, there are people out there who don't even qualify for ANY benefits because their 3rd cousin who they've never met earns over the 40,000 pound bracket and hence they should logically be helping and not the government...

Obviously it's an area were government officials have brothers and sisters living and set a big payout rate for people in that area so "rich" people can benefit.

We have the same sort of thing here with our schools..

There was one city high school here where the fee's are $10,000 per semester for children to attend there, and in addition that school was receiving over 10 times more funding from the government than outer city schools where half the rooms had no air-conditioning and teachers had to provide themselves new stationery on regular occassions because the process of ordering anything that costed money and needed approval was so hindered that it wasn't even worth waiting..

You could write a book about it couldn't ya..
