So in 2010 they got a council property and registered their Mobile Phone, car, Energy, employment & so on there. In 2014 they move in with their girlfriend / boyfriend and redirect the most pressing mail or register at a new address?

    2. OK so if you suspect its being sub let you can send a registered mail to the house and check the signature. Turn up to the benefit office in 3 days or we sanction you.

    3. If you have had friends living 5 to a room in a B&B being attacked by other residents a Haven style mobile home / Chalet site with security guards & daily mandatory classes would be very attractive. We are talking about those that have been unable to get a job in 2 years.
    WTF are you on about?

      Worth a read. Real people, with real stories. Not political pawns.

        It did surprise me. I thought the entire block was council.

          I've told people in real life and on here that's not how council housing works in London.

          Everything is about location in London. So a flat on a tulip estate can easily be rented out in the right location.

          Btw look up "Dame" Shirley Porter.

            Reading that reminded me of the testimony of the janitor at the WTC; it was shocking to hear that the resident WTC first responders
            were the first to leave building and took the keys to the locked doors with them. It was left to the janitor to unlock doors and show the fire brigade where to go.

              Only 14 flats in Grenfell Tower were not in council hands - two were owned by housing associations and 12 had private owners. One of those was on the 21st floor.
              So 12 out of 120 were privately owned. You weren't far off.

                It starts as a small number and increases.

                  Indeed they were nice normal people and they got screwed.
