Today’s “poor” are just like the rich people Jesus condemned

October 9, 2008 By admin

Slothful, self-centered, materialistic, ungrateful and greedy: meet today’s “poor”…

Mother-of-seven Toorpakai Saiedi, 35, receives £170,000 a year in benefits — a staggering £150,000 of which is paid to a private landlord for the rent of their seven-bedroom house in West London.

The detached property in Acton has two large reception rooms, two kitchens, a dining room and a 100ft garden.

Ealing Council is picking up the £12,458 a month bill — which is nearly five times the rent for a similar property in the same road.
