Story from England -- I don't think it would happen here yet.

"Taxpayers are forking out £1,600 a week so Somali mum Nasra Warsame, seven of her kids and her pensioner mum can lord it in central London for free.

Their pad has FIVE storeys, SIX bedrooms - some with balconies - THREE sitting rooms, FOUR bathrooms and a spacious, superbly fitted-out kitchen. Luxury touches include leather sofas and other designer furniture, a flat-screen TV and huge wall-length wardrobes."

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The best part -- the hubby lives in a separate home also paid for by the Govt. because the 6 br home is "too small". And I thought we gave away too many benefits here. I really need to move.

There have been other stories of the great generosity of the British taxpayers:

Pictured: Smiling preacher of hate Abu Qatada enjoying an £800,000 home and a life of benefits

The picture is an affront to all victims of terrorism and their families.

Abu Qatada, Al Qaeda's ambassador in Europe, strolls along a busy street fondling his prayer beads.

This is the first photograph of the greying 47-year-old - said to be one of the world's most dangerous terrorist suspects - since he was released on bail from a high-security prison after the courts ordered that he could not be sent home to Jordan because his human rights would have been breached.

[...]

The fanatical preacher, who was 20 stone but slimmed down on prison food, was pictured on a shopping trip near the £800,000 home he shares with his wife and children.

Exact details of the location where the Qatada family are living on benefits of an estimated £50,000 a year are protected by court orders.
