Jobless mother-of-11 who has never worked gets a $760k luxury home

[Warlord]

its all unnecessary imho eddie the borough councils can run the services like most of England. London politicians just like to have an extra layer of government, pay, perks etc. and a big shiny building that looks like a gherkin

Things such as TfL are better run by the GLA.

And 30 St. Mary Axe is privately owned. It was originally built for Swiss Re, a reinsurance company.

Well whatever the building is that houses the gla today I assure you they're ripping off taxpayers with whatever arrangement there is . The Tfl should ofcourse be privately ran not ran by some gang of politicians or the mayor

Ohhhh...I think you meant the egg, not the gherkin.

City Hall:

30 St. Mary Axe (the Gherkin)

Theyre across the Thames from each other. City Hall is in Southwark beside Tower Bridge and the Gherkin is in the City of London (which is not part of the Greater London Authority).

I love the title.

mother of 11 who has never worked

Because in someones head its possible that being a mother to 11 children isn't a full time occupation.

City Hall:

Yes and I suspect "city hall" cost a billion dollars. ANother SCAM for the taxpayer. They're welcome to it Eduardo,

And seriously, you think the filthy tube is best ran by the GLA and not the private market? Come on now.

You dont have the ability to ban me... it's not the avatar that is the problem just slipping in and out character like drifting in and out of sleep which is what im doing now. Helps if i ditch it i figure.

Actually I was surprised to find out it only cost £43 million to build.

And the rest. No doubt more scams buried somewhere.

so what's all this the tube is best ran by the mayor eduardo? come on now. it's filthy, overcrowded, disgusting and not even fit for purpose also beholden to unions and a joke, expensive etc. Should be privatised once and for all.

I didn't say the tube is best run by the mayor, I said is run more efficient regionally instead of by each individual borough. Same can be said of other services such as garbage collection and policing.

Obviously the tube would be best run if privatized like MTR in Hong Kong.

The tube isn't that bad, though. Sure it's not the cleanest (compared to Hong Kong or other Asian metros) and some lines (especially the Central Line) are overcrowded, but it's much better and cleaner than the NY subway. The overcrowding problem will be greatly alleviated with Crossrail.

There's no reason why any of it needs to be run city-wide. They should have privatised the tube but "conservative" Johnson loves being a central planner always hiring and firing a new chief on some outrageous 6 figure salary.

policing and garbage can be done by boroughs this is how its done all over England eduardo. except policing more of a county thing and the London Met has always existed before and after gla. The London Met is actually accountable to the national government or was before they got a gla again.

It is much more cost efficient to have one police force in London instead of one for every borough. You're contracting your argument against duplicate levels of government (boroughs and GLA) by saying it is more efficient to have each service duplicated in every borough instead of some services being handled region-wide.

Update:

A jobless mother-of-eleven was today told she will not be getting her palatial new taxpayer-funded home - because the £500,000 property doesn’t meet her needs.
A storm of protest had erupted over the six-bedroom property being specially built for Heather Frost, who also keeps a horse.
Frost, 37, who has never worked and whose children were fathered by four different men, was due to move into the house in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, at the end of this month.

A current neighbour, who refused to give his name, said: 'I'm gutted. I think everyone is.
'We were going to throw a street party when she finally moved away. She's been bragging to everyone how great her new house is.'
