Father not helping with maintenance then.

[rayfordham]

I'm 75 and I can remember my mother and father arguing over house keeping
money back in the 50/60s when at times the going got tough, and the amount
reigning in on spending in the 70/80s me and my wife had to do when the interest
rates were 15%. Life has never been easy for the average family in the UK, there
have been ''good times'' yes but even then it was not easy. On reflection looking
back I have been flogging myself to death along with my wife trying to keep
our heads above water in this so called ''Great Britain'' and just look at the
state of the place now where only the Elite are really allowed to prosper.

Mass-immigration has nothing to do with the housing shortage.
- Westminster

[Hatemoth]

She’s not british, why should she be allowed to have a council house?

[frankwalker]

I'm confused as to why she is in this situation if she hasn't got a visa, surely getting a visa is her first priority.

[MissA]

The headline for this video is misleading, it isn't about the cost of living, it's about her not having a visa so that she can work or claim benefits.

[islalewis]

Good luck to you I been on the list for 19 years now !!!

[ML-xhgo]

Where are the reports on our struggling white people, where has she come from, where is the husband?, visa problem? Should she even be here I wonder,

[ML-xhgo]

Oh, and how did the GBNews find her, why her plight there are thousands in her situation,

[stephennutkin]

There has not been a generation whereby parents have not had to struggle to bring up their children whether the causes were inflation, wars or weekly strikes however it is noticeable that the apparent number of single parent families has exploded in the modern age 🤔

[Jack-fsim]

There has never been any shortage of people wanting more .

[dontlooknow.]

Did she flee a 'war torn country....' ?
Thought not.

[desres]

They come here with both hands out! Give me money, give me a house, free education, free health care and if you don't, I'm going to complain about how badly I'm being treated! Crazy Britain today! 🙄🙄🙄

[britain]

Fair, fair, who said to you that life was fair.

[hereticdude]

This is a little insulting, GBNews. There are large numbers of native Brits who dream of being as 'well off' as she is.

[glenquinn]

Well get rid ofher sat tv telephone and get her son dad to pay

[janepearson]

She should try her luck in another country.

[stephfoxwell]

Surely she gets plenty of work on TV and Newspaper adverts.

[jeffreygoggin]

Poor cow been waiting four years for a council house I know people who have been waiting ten years for one

[leegallagher]

Why is she even in the country without a visa?? Why are people from all over the world coming to the UK & being put right at the front of council house list's. I have experienced it personally. I was living in a block of flats & i had foreign neighbours. The block of flats were demolished, they got a brand new council house with a back & front door. I got put in homeless accommodation & I'm still here. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking, i can't live like this anymore. The threat of being put back on the streets is stressing me out. Why are British people being put at the back of the queue ? We wait years for a decent house. People like her above should be put straight back on a flight ✈ to wherever they flew in here from. They come here because our politicians & people who are in positions of authority have no back bone whatsoever.
