£8,000 a month rent in Hampstead... it's on the council

Taking advantage of housing benefit rules introduced by the last Labour Government, jobless Saeed Khaliif, 49, his wife Sayida and their children have been able to set up home in fashionable West Hampstead, an area beyond the reach of many well heeled house-hunters in the capital.

Looks like the Telegraph beat the Mail to this one. The family - Somalian asylum seekers - were previously living in a semi in Coventry, before moving to the £2m six-bedroom detached house in Hampstead. Camden Council won't comment.
