Change of mind?

Maybe we should leave the UK and return as penniless Asylum seekers, to be housed in a £1.2 million mansion.

Afghan mother-of-seven Toorpakai Saiedi already pulls in a staggering £13,901 of handouts every month in rent and living allowances, but complained: "I'd like to take the children on holiday to Disneyland Paris but I can't afford it."

Full story here.

She recieves £166,000 welfare benefits a year, but meanwhile ..."Back in Afghanistan, Saiedi's husband was in business supplying the government army. He fled the Taliban and won political asylum here in 2001, followed by his family."

The family's biggest handout coup is their massive £12,458 a month rent, paid direct by the council to landlord Ajit Panesar who bought the property in March for £1.2 million.

Son Jawad, wearing a Tommy Hilfiger designer shirt and acting as interpreter for his mother, moaned that the property was much smaller than the massive house they used to have in Afghanistan.

He said: "Our house there was huge compared to this one. We laugh at this house and would give this space to chickens to walk around in a cage."
