Asylum seekers living in £2m, 5-bedroomed mansion

Asylum seekers living in £2m, 5-bedroomed mansion

Britain's family of asylum seekers is living in a £2million mansion costing taxpayers a whopping £8,000 a month. Jobless Abdi and Sayruq Nur and their seven children moved into the house after whingeing that they did not like living in a “poor” area.

The plush pad in London’s posh Kensington boasts five bedrooms, two bathrooms, leather sofas and flat-screen TVs. And the family’s celebrity neighbours include designer Stella McCartney, 38, and Blur frontman Damon Albarn, 42.

Mr Nur, an unemployed bus conductor, demanded to move from their five-bed home in Brent, north west London. The 42-year-old moaned shops were too far away from home and he did not like the fact that his children had to take the bus to school.

We say:

Surely if this family are genuine asylum seekers, trying to escape tyranny, persecution and possible death, then any area in the UK will be better than the one they left behind. There is no need for the to be living in Kensington to escape the horrors they say they left behind.

UKIP support efforts to help genuine asylum seekers – it is part of our British tradition to help those in dire need, but it is not surprising the public are losing this tolerance when situations like this emerge. It is wrong and it is not fair or justified.

UKIP would speed up the asylum application process, and not be bound by the ridiculous political correctness that often means immigrants receive much better treatment than the taxpayer.
