If she could afford to fly to Nigeria and pay £370 for a kid, why couldn't she get the money together for a deposit? If she works in a housing association then she should be able to get all the info required to help her pay her rent, so it all sounds fishy to me!

If she found a job and worked half as hard as she did to scheme and defraud the government(taxpayers of Britain) with that baby scheme, she'd have had an apartment no problem. I don't know if she has any disabilities, but if she does, you would think that would help her get some benefits. It sounds as if she is a former housing trust worker, so I'm guessing my assumption that she has no job currently is correct. Well.......sounds like she'll have a guaranteed 3 hots and a cot for a possible 14 years, so I'd say she's all set.

Good lord. That is pretty shocking indeed. I can't get my head around it.
