Council House crackdown has had it's intentionally diversionary day. Now it's time for 'Tax Haven Crackdown' and 'Government Corruption Crackdown'. Let's tell the truth about who the real criminals are.
Panorama? Dispatches? Andrew Marr show? Sunday Politics? Newsnight? There are loads... Plus tax havens aren't illegal.. most of the people on this TV programmes are committing a crime. They make it quite clear at the start that this is only a small percentage of the population. The vast majority of those in social housing are good tenants
@@mee5780 Come on. We all know the smear implicit in the title, much more powerful than any mealy mouthed disclaimers. Tax havens are out of control. The EU knew it and so did our extreme right wing politicians. It was the EU threat of more transparency that prompted the disastrous Brexit experiment which destroyed UK/ European exports. It'll take years before British business can trade profitably with our nearest neighbors again. Going back to titles like Council House Crackdown, it's playing to the worst sort of prejudice. There really is a need for Tax Haven Crackdown', the EU thought so and I guess they knew. As for tax havens being legal, when you have corruption in government, any damn thing you like can be made legal.
At least people who use so called tax havens operate within the rules and don’t rip their peers off, and they probably donut to protect their hard gained money from the money grabbing collectivist masses who think they’re hard done by and that the world owes them a living.
@@HumansAreShitFactories Goodness, we have it demonstrated to us every day that it's only the little people who have a better record of living within the rules. Look at just one example, the PPE scandal, where millions of pounds of taxpayers money was handed to greedy 'tory' cronies to make PPE which they had no expertise in, much of which later quietly ended up in landfill. Socialism for the rich? No the money grabbing minority can bend the system however their power decides. Because the minority has the power and owns the press and media, they use smears to full capacity knowing the poor majority are powerless to resist.
Genuine, born and bred, British people of any colour or religion. Should be first priority over any immigrants of any description as this is our country and “WE” pay for it.🇬🇧
Not really. There are hundreds of thousands of overseas skilled workers who work in the UK who pay way more taxes while not being eligible for any benefits. These people are actually paying more into the system than you are since they are getting nothing back. On the other hand, there are millions of UK born "white" citizens who have been on benefits for generations who have not paid a farthing in taxes. Over generalizations like your statement is just rubbish.
Kudos to the councilworker lady who handled 9 years of katrins constant complaints. The urge to visit that woman in jail and ask her “how you like your accommodations now b!tch?” Would have overwhelmed me 😂
Did no one at the council think it was unusual that a woman born in Scotland was only capable of making her applications to the council in Turkish? This fraud should have been detected on day 1 of her application.
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 Correct you are! And the goods and services that are simply handed to these people, are often better, than working people, born in the US can hope to have.
Im so grateful for my little council flat. I was homeless for 10 months having lost my home and business because of Covid. I didn’t know anything about the area and it was definitely somewhere I was apprehensive about moving too. I have disabilities and I spend a lot of time at home. I love and look after it and can’t believe how lucky I am to get it. 💕
I truly admire and respect the Scots. They endure the worst weather here in the UK. Us down here in the South have much milder weather yet still moan about everything!
Can’t tell you how mad this makes me!, I was told by my council at 19 on the verge of homelessness that it would be ten years to wait for one. Yet if you are a freeloading person they just dish them out it seems. Honest working people get screwed over so much
@@mariehewett5240 a lot of those “ free loaders” are fleeing due to war & famine etc. our housing system is broken because of the government not sanctioning enough housing for those of us on lower income.
@@Jamie-ho1wgWhat specific war are they fleeing? Travelling here via people traffickers & paying upto (approx) £7, 000 from the safe haven of France & countless safe countries beforehand? All while destroying ID to hide their true identity which majority are male not women and/or children. Maybe take your head out & accept that we are not the worlds toilet for all & sundry to rock up & abuse our system of prioritised access to benefits/NHS/housing/translators/Aspen card while paying no council tax, travel, phone, electricity & in receipt of cash support. You have just witnessed the criminal actions of a Turkish woman as a perfect example of the depth of criminality they are gleefully indulging in yet you dismiss it through your lies & subterfuge. The majority of illegal gimmigrants are not asylum seeking individuals but criminals exploiting the ECHR & many treaties (global migration pact). Anyone attempting to push the happy clapper version of sunshine, rainbows & ideologically charged nonsense is not only enabling this fraud but encouraging it also. Shame on you!
so katrine butun got 2.5 years. doubtless she served less than one. she got a free house for many years and a pile of money. I would bet that the 4 properties were not disposed of to pay back the money. so overall she walks away with a lot in return for serving very little prison time.
I remember Catherine from another episode a while back and remember how angry she made me then. I’m even more so now knowing what her outcome was. She deserved lots of jail time for fraud. 😡
This woman from turkey really rubs me the wrong way. I am disabled because of a birth defect I worked until I was 43 years old. I never started claiming disability benefits until years of hospitalizations and illnesses because I really didn’t need the money because made enough marriage. I remember the judge ask me why did it take me so long for something that I deserved. Just recently I started receiving benefits and insurance which I pay out of my pocket $1000 a month. My heart goes out for anybody that is disabled because I can understand how they struggle each day with all the demands of every day life. But then you have this woman from Turkey who scams the Home from someone who actually needs it and on top of it she is an even a British citizen. I hope after watching many of these shows that they now can cross reference many of these individuals so it is caught right away. I do believe that we do need to help the most vulnerable individuals in our countries so the individual can live with dignity. I think if there was a serious fine and prison time for at least a decade people would think twice about stealing from the council.
If the council had done their job properly wouldn't they have found she was in fact not allowed to claim benefits? If they were able to find out the documents were false now, they could have found out in the beginning.
I agree, I was a single mom living on min wage (and yes some child support from a deadbeat dad, any money he gave me, I had to use to constantly show up in court, as for 15 years he would drag me in for everything), I paid for private child care (I have no fam, so it was a friend), I also went to college full time and made ends meet. Now my kids are grown and gone (they’re only 20 & 21), so it wasn’t that long ago.
@@sandy420 It is all part of this scam system being exposed in this video here and the corrupt governments and political parties are hiding all of this being exposed in this video and giving the people some of their Trust money without telling them where their "benefits" etc come from and it is NOT from the government as you will see in this video ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
In UK 17% are social and council tenants. It used to be 30% in the 80’s. Then 50% further back. In the US about 3% get section 8. The one single mom had a 17 year old and a toddler, did not need it until relationship ended making 2 incomes 1 income. When the child conceived she was 2 incomes and they were fine paying rent together. Circumstances change. In the UK a person leaves school at 16. Then they do work, training or more school. A person done with school and starts a family a few years later is not a big deal. Someone has to have the babies.
This happened next door to me . Eastern European couple moved in , initially very polite and friendly , within a month there were different people coming and going - parking issues along the street as they were parking over our drives . Lots of noise disturbance , Sunday night parties . We got onto the land lord to let him know there were many people coming and going ( this was one bed flat ) We suspected they were Sharing flat with other friends and family . I again sent emails about my suspicions- the worst thing is this landlord was a policeman but would not believe me ? We told the landlord we don’t care you are police , we will ring the police ourselves next time they keep us awake sometimes up to 4am - my husband said they were smoking weed as you could smell it . I confronted the neighbour the next day as had enough. I said to them for a tenant who has a policeman for a landlord you don’t seem to care ? Their mouths dropped and said what do you mean ? I said oh hasn’t he told you he’s a police officer ? Next day van turns up a pile of men get out and they move all their friends stuff out - never saw them again ! The flat was wrecked, drug paraphernalia everywhere. The landlord did apologise to us eventually - he has been too embarrassed ti speak to us since . Having had his fingers burnt , cost him a fortune to get the flat habitable again , We now have very decent quiet tenant’s , he visits regularly to check the flat as well happy days !
I find it hilarious that people in your country are offended by people smoking weed. If I rang up the police and said my neighbour was smoking weed they would laugh at me and hang up .
The mum with the two children is truly an inspiration as she sees the benefits of moving from London to the beautiful city of Carlisle, I hope it all worked out for her, many people we see on these programmers tend to be greedy and entitled, it refreshing to witness a woman who is open to new experiences and the benefits it can bring to her family.
Any research into who is aiding these people, I can't believe she is a master criminal, or that she has intimate knowledge of the uk legal/benefits system-that's who needs to be prosecuted and stopped.
Living in France, I came legally from Canada. I had to attend French classes to make sure I knew French due to French being different in Canada. At coffee time, being an old lady I sat and listened to all these people from Africa and eastern Europe. Let me tell you many know a lot of loopholes to stay and how to stay better than immigration. I was really surprised but at the same time not surprised. It seems if there was a question someone knew someone that had the answer to how to get around that problem. Wow, a real eye-opener.
It's a shame how many people think they are entitled to plsu more. Instead of like u or me being so appreciative for what were given.i know people to have called council lbevause their bulb has blown. 🤦 Or complain because thir room is small. It's a freeeee house. Accept u have a property for life or earn Ur own. It's so frustrating council don't have power to say these things.
@@supermandad9172 The council and governments are scamming the people since the day they were born on behalf of these Mafias being exposed in this video here that own and control them and everything else ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
@@mariehewett5240 who's says it's free.where dos I say it's free. I know they pay, rent and tax. But not everyone. Some people get a lump sum of money and they'll pay, rent with that. Not exactly cost them if money is given for being at home. Still not sure why you said that when I didn't state that.
The fact ordinary people are able to swindle benefits and councils so easily suggests their systems need upgrading. Personally the once I had to claim benefits ( when I was being treated for cancer) I found it intimidating and I was completely honest about money in the bank etc because I respected the law- I’ve also always been convinced that if I did try to cheat would be caught lol. Clearly if you have no fear or integrity, the system is easy to cheat.
I've met many people who both work & could afford to rent somewhere nice or save for a deposit & have a mortgage. They don't want to. At the time, I had a mobile mechanic who had a 3 bed house for £360 a month. His wife worked , his parents gave them free child care. They were laughing. They weren't low income or in need. They then rented the 3rd bedroom out to a mate.
It is the governments and councils that are swindling the dumb masses on behalf of these Mafias who own and control them being exposed in this video here ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
I don’t believe it’s easy to cheat. I’m struggling to get my disability money I’m elegible for as they lie and cheat themselves. I have sent proof of everything. It’s hard to get those papers. I don’t know how she would have got an OT. This is likely a super rare case. It’s honestly very hard so if anyone achieves it they deserve an Oscar. And to get it all removed.
I’ve visited Scotland in the past, and loved the experience. That said; I will back one thing stated - it was freakin’ COLD (especially as I’m from sunny Western Australia). I will go back though, because the people are so funny and honest, the countryside is gorgeous, and the culture and history is fascinating. Anyway, I enjoyed this video, and I hope everyone here is happy and well.
I’m from Glasgow on the wet and miserable west coast of Scotland. I have family who moved to Perth (Hilarys to be precise!). We go over to visit every few years and I absolutely love the change in the weather. The outdoor lifestyle suits us as a family. In between visits to them they come home for a few weeks and every single time they step off the plane (even in the height of our summer!) they are horrified with how cold it is! It’s like the happy memories in Scotland crowd out the memories of the bloody weather! They never manage to readjust back to the weather before it’s time to go home! It’s hoodies and hats the whole time! Even when we are in shorts!
just checked to see what became of katrin butun. it looks like she never did prison, instead spending her time on a psychiatric ward at taxpayers expense. she claimed to have no English but her daughter told the media that she was fluent. she also claimed to have no money to pay back what she stole.
She should have to pay back every penny of the resources spent translating, investigating and prosecuting her. To think that if she may have gotten away with this fraud if not for her complaints and attitude.
I live in social housing and when my long term next door neighbor moved out of the area a lovely middle aged Polish couple (man & woman) moved in. Their daughter who lived elsewhere helped them move in & her mother told me she was so excited to get a social housing property as she'd been on the waiting list for 12 years. The daughter visited all the time with her little boy & new born baby. It was just the couple that moved in, no one else. 6 months later I hear dance music with excessive bass blasting from the back/2nd bedroom. Judging by the music it was somebody young. A few weeks later music was blasting again,all the windows were wide open. (There's very little insulation between the semi detached house since all the white asbestos insulation panels were removed secretly during the external cavity wall/insulation/render & replacement kitchen works) I went next door to ask her not to turn the music down just the bass. A Polish woman in her early 20's came running down the stairs and started to shout and swear at me, I was really nice at first but she just kept shouting at me and telling me it's none of my business & she can play her music as loud as she wants & she'll continue to do so because she can do what she wants. I told her that she can't do what she wants if it's annoying me/her neighbour. I pointed out that a few houses are playing music, having parties & BBQs but they're not playing their music loud. Eventually a different Polish man came to the front door and started shouting in Polish I assume he was telling her to turn it down or off. 3 years later I very rarely see the original couple that first moved in.The young woman & man are there all of the time The two men look alike but one is bald on top and the other isn't so they're probably brothers.The daughter only visits for a couple of hours every month on a Sunday, she doesn't visit any other time. I think that's when she collects the rent which is due the next day/Monday? There is also a separate mail box on the outside wall which I've only seen the man using. I continue to have problems with my neighbours, since they've lived there a weekend hasn't gone by without them doing some kind of loud DIY or banging- even after 10pm. The young woman is always rude & aggressive even when I ask how long they will be banging for. Thanks to the lack of insulation between our party wall I hear every step they make, especially when they're going up and downstairs. They are both very big built & heavy. The woman stomp's on the stairs & is a lot louder than the man. I hear every single movement from whoever is in the property, sometimes the woman's mom or sister (they look alike more than the two men do) stays for an odd week or two. From their movements I've worked out she lives upstairs and he lives downstairs, that's probably why she acts as if she is a tenant because she is and not a family member who just happens to live with them. I've tried to be nice & friendly but all I get is verbal abuse from her. Once in a blue moon I see the original couple who are always friendly they say hello & ask how I am. I know it's different people that live there. I told my housing association & somebody went out to visit them but only after they'd sent a letter telling them the time & date of the visit! My landlord informed me the couple that were living there are the same tenant's who originally moved in, I asked them how do they know for certain they're the original couple and I was told because they are Polish and it was a Polish couple that originally moved in. I said it's a different couples but unless the LLy took photos of their new tenants, how do they know if they're subletting;they don't. As far as I'm aware no housing association does. Basically if someone is subletting their social housing property to members of their family's or to someone else who's the same race as them & they work instead of been on welfare benefits they're never going to get caught subletting. Subletters only seen to get caught when they abuse the welfare benefits & claim stuff they're not entitled to. It's not just a case of ' well they pay their rent on time, they keep their property nice & make their garden's look lovely and do all the repairs themselves' who cares if they're not the couple that moved in'! I do because who am I living next door to, who are my neighbours and why are they always unhelpful,rude abusive & not at all neighbourly towards me. I don't get it. A lot of tenants who lived in Grenfell Towers were subletters, subletting is an epidemic that needs to be dealt with. If the government agencies & Housing association take photos of all their new & existing tenants it will make it harder for people to sublet then theres no address to claim benefits from. My social housing landlord are supposed to carry out periodic visual checks as well as survey the outside of our properties to determine if any work needs doing such as cleaning the gutters or replacing them but there's no legal responsibility for them to do that.
@@mairimcgregor3443 a comment can be interesting... but i had to stop reading...was like a book...way too much... people often skip over comments that long...surely it is better to know that...
3 months to get a council house ? in Australia that can be up to 40 years and if you don't have a disability or you're a single mother with 5 children there's no point applying
I lived next door to a Housing Commission (Social Housing) place here in Australia. I lost count of the number bodies I saw coming & going but a few police visits before dawn cleared them out - drug deals. Must have been 8 people in a 3 bedroom place but others were living there off & on. The $45 a week rent was a joke for the mother as she worked casually & the others just did nothing. Across the road were a few older couples who looked after their places like their own & fixed them for free.
I'm a middle aged womanliving in Sydney in a council flat. Like the others families (of all ages), we take pride in our homes. About two years ago I began to fix up the front garden. I've planted about a dozen natives and installed a frog pond and bird bath. All at my own expense.
@@valerie241 Where I bought my place there was alot of older couples in housing commission places & these people took great pride in mowing lawns. I came home on a weekend to find my front lawn mown. I thanked the neighbour - we met that first time & offered to pay him. I knew he liked a beer so grabbed the VB (I hated) & the cigarettes I bought as a gift) then headed back over. I knew he smoked & the beers he would enjoy. Mind you this was 16 years ago & that pack of cigarettes was $5 & the beer the same LOL.
Disgustingly dishonest and greedy. How many other are living in council property and claiming benefits they are not entitled to with forged documents... shocking!
Me and my husband are extremely lucky to have a cozy wee ground floor 2 bed council house for cheaper than our private let flat that was a one bed flat and two flights of stairs up. I'm very grateful to our council for this.
@@yeetnama9094 I don't have a clue what your talking about. We pay our own rent. We don't rely on any kind of benefits and we both work. We earned that flat with our own money without any help from the government.
@@yeetnama9094 No it is not - it is the government and councils etc that are scamming the people on behalf of these Mafias that own and control them being exposed in this video here ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
@@mariehewett5240 of course. I think it is unfair of them to do that. They are presenting those who need a place to live from getting one and are making money renting out a house that isn't theirs. Loads of people here doing this. Doesn't anyone check who is actually living in the council houses?
Honestly the way these officials talk to the journalist about the nefarious deeds of the scammers, they sound so namby pamby.... FAR TOO PASSIVE. They're about as threatening as a dead fish!!!
I’ve been on the housing list for 10 years in alberta. However trudo sure pays lots for hotels, good, clothing and extra cash for his favourites, while old stock Canadians, homeless, poor, elderly, handicapped and vets are all asking for too much

Once she started checking off the list she had, I would have asked her, the last two should be deportation paperwork, civil suit papers, and flight information! Hope you get what u hoped for!!!!🤗
I am not British but watching this series tells me due to shortages, no council house should be sold to the person living there even if they are good tenants. This rule only creates more of a shortage of housing.
Yes it's a great idea my friend bought hers about 15 years ago and it gives reliable long term tenants a chance to buy their own home hope they never stop doing this.
Sorry i have to disagree with this , if my parents hadn’t of been able to purchase their council house , then myself & my siblings would of ended up in a children’s home . So this is the only good thing Margaret Thatcher granted during her PM reign .
Instead of helping the rents go out of reach by keeping a tight market on which more and more people are dependent on this idiocracy, build more houses ffs. Housing, food, medical care should be in the pricerange of wages and NOT percieved as charity for which gratitude is required.
Why on earth do these councils pander so much? You're not under any duty of care to investigate every single complaint put forward, in fact if her behaviour was determental to the other tenants she should have been given notice. They're so full of do gooders the decent tenants end up worse off.
No council in USA. I wish there was. If you're homeless here that's 100 percent your problem. No one offers "accommodation". You don't have anywhere No government assistance is around. It sucks!
@@Tom-sm8fw The US is owned and controlled like the UK and most countries by these Mafias being exposed in this video here and the governments, councils, DWP etc are all involved in scamming the people since the day they were born hiding the fact that everything is PREPAID out of the Trusts that they "forgot" to tell us we all have had since the day we were born and then they con us into paying for everything again as exposed in this video ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
I don't agree with u on the second part. Should you be punished for something your parents or kids done? Let's say she has a sister here legally been working 20 years and and becomes in a situation she needs help tik she finds a job again. Why should she be punished for what another adult has done. These people need to made to pay, every penny plus more for admin and investigation cost. I doubt UK will do much to get her properties from abroad.
The system is what has been scamming the people since the day they were born because the people do not like using their brains all exposed in this video here ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
While the lady at the end has decided to take matters into her own hands and should be commended, she still should be grateful for the nice roof she and her family have over their heads. I live in Canada and have been homeless for over three years through no fault of my own. I'm 68 and disabled but still can't get into subsidized housing. Rent in my city has risen so high after covid it's forcing more and more people out onto the streets. Shelters are limited. The city brags about all the new rental buildings being built but what they don't tell you is they are ALL high end. One bedrooms start at just over C$3000. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm currently living in a hotel which is very nice and clean but is very expensive - over $3000 per month and is the cheapest in its category. (from the wannabe real London)
I just don't understand why it takes a complaint to get someone to check the properties out. Especially with the subletting. Why do they not do yearly inspection on the council properties, around here (Illinois) just like everyone that gets food stamps and or other government benefits has to reapply every 6 months. Also, people shouldn't be allowed to get so behind on rent
There SHOULD BE A 3 MONTH CLAUSE inserted in ALL rental agreements, no rent paid for three months your out, once signed, stick to it. Showing a hard stance will solve the problem.
In Australia if U live in Housing and U do fraud and getting Government payment they stop U from getting government payment up to 3 months and U have to pay back the money for government payment and U get a fine for housing and if U stay there do U still pay but the price will go up
The laugh is it is the governments and councils etc that are scamming and conning the people since the day they were born on behalf of these Mafias being exposed in this video here who own and control most of this planet and these people are not defrauding the DWP/Government/Councils etc as they are getting access to the Trusts that our corrupt governments and political parties "forgot" to tell the people that we all have had since the day we were born as per this video ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
With the *massive* amount of foreigners moving to our country all of the council houses are no longer available. There's a 15 year waiting list. And some, not all, then use the laws of our country to get all the benefits that natural born citizens would have gotten in times of need. Straining then draining the system finances. And because a lot of the people seeking asylum are obviously in "need" too, that's how they screw the systems. And once they have a stable address within country, their families then enter the country as relatives that have somewhere to live and repeat the process. Shipping more and more foreigners into the country that weren't in dire situations. All the while more natural citizens end up on the streets and foreigners become naturalized citizens who continue to bleed the system as they setup bringing others into country to do it all again. It's very hard not to hate them all, those abusing the system, as you see them grifting the system without a care. *A Soft Invasion* some call it. And sadly the method I listed *can and does* apply to ALL of the First World Countries which are targeted this way. Abusing the Humanitarian Help, Care and Assistance they were offered by these countries. With no intention at all of ever integrating into the country they are currently abusing / invading. It's sickening.
This just illustrates how extremely lax some of our authorities (local authorities,Passport Office, etc.) are with our money. All that money just gone. If cases like the Turkish woman happens just 1000 times a year that adds overone billion pounds to the national debt. Think about it.
Not something you can get away with! But she did for 9 years +, why aren't checks done at the beginning, before the government officers get a 'tip off' , and our systems should be more joined up, why are we losing track of failed asylum seekers
I am in temporary housing at the moment, waiting to be housed, I am on a priority banding 2, Bristol, I have autism and struggle generally daily, it was a living hell when I was told by my ex landlord served an eviction notice, me not knowing it was a 1 year tenancy only due to covid which was not made clear, then when he served the eviction Xmas 21, to be out by January 22, for no other reason than wanting it for students as he said I can get more rent, anyway week before my eviction date was due I got housed in a temporary housing association place, I got lucky on that one that I am in a reasonable nice studio flat where I have my own bedroom space with a wardrobe and chestard draws and a lounge that doubles up as a small kitchen, I only have to share the bathroom, lucky the communal area and actual building is well maintained, as I am aware of some horror story's of some temporary housing, anyway moving forward i just keep positive and know that eventually I will be housed since I am on a priority banding, I just want to get my life back on track as my life feels like it's on hold.
The council should always check the land registry as most people have other properties and the dwp should check every claimants history and there partners too.
There seems to be an awful lot of people employed by the public sector, who are working their butts off doing their jobs with diligence. While many people who are not in investigation, are pinching property they are not entitled too. Civil Servants don’t have to do their job properly.
I knew she had more property, cause she was just too calm about it! Hope they keep the case open again! I'm pretty sure she has some more hid away. I know she darn near fainted when then they found out about those properties, I'm glad they did!!! 🤗
If you weren’t listening…. These are all people who have money and no need. They are greedy not desperate. People do need help at times, not everyone can contribute at times for no fault of their own. Your lack of empathy and understanding is vile. People who need support are not criminals!
I do not blame these people. I blame the system on how inadequate they are. It's like the NHS or should I say WHS anyone can just walk in from all over the world. This country is a joke.
Yes. Agree with you... It's the system that is inadequate for keeping checks and balances on applicants. They claim to be cracking down now but I'm not sure they are succeeding

Failure in screening at the Passport office and failure in screening at the benefit office. How on earth did this happen. `Urgent changes and controls are needed before monies are paid out. As an honest tax payer I am appalled that our controls are so weak
Tip of the iceberg for thieves. Took my mother, twelve years and letter from her employer saying he was ejecting her in order to get a flat. Totally British!!! 😮
This is absolutely outrageous. We (I) am happy to pay my taxes because we should look after our own who are less fortunate and really need help. And it takes the DWP and councils 9 years to even start to investigate? Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is automatically suspended if you are in hospital for 28 days.

Perhaps when an application is brought to housing they then should do thorough investigation including asylum seekers if they are or not. I know this will take time.

There’s no way that so many people should be on the dole in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. I’m American and my wife is an immigrant. Her comment is: “if you can’t make it here, you can’t make it anywhere”. I’d say it’s no different in the U.K.
Council House crackdown has had it's intentionally diversionary day. Now it's time for 'Tax Haven Crackdown' and 'Government Corruption Crackdown'. Let's tell the truth about who the real criminals are.
take the 650 hush money from boris
Panorama? Dispatches? Andrew Marr show? Sunday Politics? Newsnight? There are loads... Plus tax havens aren't illegal.. most of the people on this TV programmes are committing a crime. They make it quite clear at the start that this is only a small percentage of the population. The vast majority of those in social housing are good tenants
@@mee5780 Come on. We all know the smear implicit in the title, much more powerful than any mealy mouthed disclaimers. Tax havens are out of control. The EU knew it and so did our extreme right wing politicians. It was the EU threat of more transparency that prompted the disastrous Brexit experiment which destroyed UK/ European exports. It'll take years before British business can trade profitably with our nearest neighbors again. Going back to titles like Council House Crackdown, it's playing to the worst sort of prejudice. There really is a need for Tax Haven Crackdown', the EU thought so and I guess they knew. As for tax havens being legal, when you have corruption in government, any damn thing you like can be made legal.
At least people who use so called tax havens operate within the rules and don’t rip their peers off, and they probably donut to protect their hard gained money from the money grabbing collectivist masses who think they’re hard done by and that the world owes them a living.
@@HumansAreShitFactories Goodness, we have it demonstrated to us every day that it's only the little people who have a better record of living within the rules. Look at just one example, the PPE scandal, where millions of pounds of taxpayers money was handed to greedy 'tory' cronies to make PPE which they had no expertise in, much of which later quietly ended up in landfill. Socialism for the rich? No the money grabbing minority can bend the system however their power decides. Because the minority has the power and owns the press and media, they use smears to full capacity knowing the poor majority are powerless to resist.
Genuine, born and bred, British people of any colour or religion. Should be first priority over any immigrants of any description as this is our country and “WE” pay for it.🇬🇧
Same as UK residents and legal visa holders they pay the same amount of taxes like you they dont get any better treatment.
are cuntree
Not really. There are hundreds of thousands of overseas skilled workers who work in the UK who pay way more taxes while not being eligible for any benefits. These people are actually paying more into the system than you are since they are getting nothing back. On the other hand, there are millions of UK born "white" citizens who have been on benefits for generations who have not paid a farthing in taxes. Over generalizations like your statement is just rubbish.

so katrine butun got 2.5 years. doubtless she served less than one. she got a free house for many years and a pile of money. I would bet that the 4 properties were not disposed of to pay back the money. so overall she walks away with a lot in return for serving very little prison time.
I remember Catherine from another episode a while back and remember how angry she made me then. I’m even more so now knowing what her outcome was. She deserved lots of jail time for fraud. 😡
This woman from turkey really rubs me the wrong way. I am disabled because of a birth defect I worked until I was 43 years old. I never started claiming disability benefits until years of hospitalizations and illnesses because I really didn’t need the money because made enough marriage. I remember the judge ask me why did it take me so long for something that I deserved. Just recently I started receiving benefits and insurance which I pay out of my pocket $1000 a month. My heart goes out for anybody that is disabled because I can understand how they struggle each day with all the demands of every day life. But then you have this woman from Turkey who scams the Home from someone who actually needs it and on top of it she is an even a British citizen. I hope after watching many of these shows that they now can cross reference many of these individuals so it is caught right away. I do believe that we do need to help the most vulnerable individuals in our countries so the individual can live with dignity.
I think if there was a serious fine and prison time for at least a decade people would think twice about stealing from the council.
If the council had done their job properly wouldn't they have found she was in fact not allowed to claim benefits? If they were able to find out the documents were false now, they could have found out in the beginning.
She committed document fraud. They are not mind readers.
Why do young people have children and then expect the state to house them and pick up the tab.
This is THE point
Because the government allows then to do it by providing more money and accomodation...the government needs to not do more but do less, in my opinion.
I agree, I was a single mom living on min wage (and yes some child support from a deadbeat dad, any money he gave me, I had to use to constantly show up in court, as for 15 years he would drag me in for everything), I paid for private child care (I have no fam, so it was a friend), I also went to college full time and made ends meet. Now my kids are grown and gone (they’re only 20 & 21), so it wasn’t that long ago.
@@sandy420 It is all part of this scam system being exposed in this video here and the corrupt governments and political parties are hiding all of this being exposed in this video and giving the people some of their Trust money without telling them where their "benefits" etc come from and it is NOT from the government as you will see in this video ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
In UK 17% are social and council tenants. It used to be 30% in the 80’s. Then 50% further back. In the US about 3% get section 8. The one single mom had a 17 year old and a toddler, did not need it until relationship ended making 2 incomes 1 income. When the child conceived she was 2 incomes and they were fine paying rent together. Circumstances change. In the UK a person leaves school at 16. Then they do work, training or more school. A person done with school and starts a family a few years later is not a big deal. Someone has to have the babies.
This happened next door to me . Eastern European couple moved in , initially very polite and friendly , within a month there were different people coming and going - parking issues along the street as they were parking over our drives .
Lots of noise disturbance , Sunday night parties .
We got onto the land lord to let him know there were many people coming and going ( this was one bed flat )
We suspected they were
Sharing flat with other friends and family .
I again sent emails about my suspicions- the worst thing is this landlord was a policeman but would not believe me ?
We told the landlord we don’t care you are police , we will ring the police ourselves next time they keep us awake sometimes up to 4am - my husband said they were smoking weed as you could smell it .
I confronted the neighbour the next day as had enough.
I said to them for a tenant who has a policeman for a landlord you don’t seem to care ? Their mouths dropped and said what do you mean ? I said oh hasn’t he told you he’s a police officer ?
Next day van turns up a pile of men get out and they move all their friends stuff out - never saw them again !
The flat was wrecked, drug paraphernalia everywhere.
The landlord did apologise to us eventually - he has been too embarrassed ti speak to us since . Having had his fingers burnt , cost him a fortune to get the flat habitable again , We now have very decent quiet tenant’s , he visits regularly to check the flat as well happy days !
Yeah this never happened
I find it hilarious that people in your country are offended by people smoking weed. If I rang up the police and said my neighbour was smoking weed they would laugh at me and hang up .

Isn’t it bullshit? Criminals get more looked after than people that stay on the right side of the law, makes me very angry 😤
"Asking" a failed asylum seeker to leave the country is totally pointless, they have to be rounded up and put on the plane home.
The mum with the two children is truly an inspiration as she sees the benefits of moving from London to the beautiful city of Carlisle, I hope it all worked out for her, many people we see on these programmers tend to be greedy and entitled, it refreshing to witness a woman who is open to new experiences and the benefits it can bring to her family.
Any research into who is aiding these people, I can't believe she is a master criminal, or that she has intimate knowledge of the uk legal/benefits system-that's who needs to be prosecuted and stopped.
Living in France, I came legally from Canada. I had to attend French classes to make sure I knew French due to French being different in Canada. At coffee time, being an old lady I sat and listened to all these people from Africa and eastern Europe. Let me tell you many know a lot of loopholes to stay and how to stay better than immigration. I was really surprised but at the same time not surprised. It seems if there was a question someone knew someone that had the answer to how to get around that problem. Wow, a real eye-opener.

Clearly if you have no fear or integrity, the system is easy to cheat.

I live in social housing and when my long term next door neighbor moved out of the area a lovely middle aged Polish couple (man & woman) moved in. Their daughter who lived elsewhere helped them move in & her mother told me she was so excited to get a social housing property as she'd been on the waiting list for 12 years. The daughter visited all the time with her little boy & new born baby. It was just the couple that moved in, no one else. 6 months later I hear dance music with excessive bass blasting from the back/2nd bedroom. Judging by the music it was somebody young. A few weeks later music was blasting again,all the windows were wide open.
(There's very little insulation between the semi detached house since all the white asbestos insulation panels were removed secretly during the external cavity wall/insulation/render & replacement kitchen works) I went next door to ask her not to turn the music down just the bass. A Polish woman in her early 20's came running down the stairs and started to shout and swear at me, I was really nice at first but she just kept shouting at me and telling me it's none of my business & she can play her music as loud as she wants & she'll continue to do so because she can do what she wants. I told her that she can't do what she wants if it's annoying me/her neighbour. I pointed out that a few houses are playing music, having parties & BBQs but they're not playing their music loud. Eventually a different Polish man came to the front door and started shouting in Polish I assume he was telling her to turn it down or off. 3 years later I very rarely see the original couple that first moved in.The young woman & man are there all of the time The two men look alike but one is bald on top and the other isn't so they're probably brothers.The daughter only visits for a couple of hours every month on a Sunday, she doesn't visit any other time. I think that's when she collects the rent which is due the next day/Monday?
There is also a separate mail box on the outside wall which I've only seen the man using. I continue to have problems with my neighbours, since they've lived there a weekend hasn't gone by without them doing some kind of loud DIY or banging- even after 10pm. The young woman is always rude & aggressive even when I ask how long they will be banging for. Thanks to the lack of insulation between our party wall I hear every step they make, especially when they're going up and downstairs. They are both very big built & heavy. The woman stomp's on the stairs & is a lot louder than the man. I hear every single movement from whoever is in the property, sometimes the woman's mom or sister (they look alike more than the two men do) stays for an odd week or two. From their movements I've worked out she lives upstairs and he lives downstairs, that's probably why she acts as if she is a tenant because she is and not a family member who just happens to live with them. I've tried to be nice & friendly but all I get is verbal abuse from her. Once in a blue moon I see the original couple who are always friendly they say hello & ask how I am. I know it's different people that live there. I told my housing association & somebody went out to visit them but only after they'd sent a letter telling them the time & date of the visit! My landlord informed me the couple that were living there are the same tenant's who originally moved in, I asked them how do they know for certain they're the original couple and I was told because they are Polish and it was a Polish couple that originally moved in. I said it's a different couples but unless the LLy took photos of their new tenants, how do they know if they're subletting;they don't. As far as I'm aware no housing association does.
Basically if someone is subletting their social housing property to members of their family's or to someone else who's the same race as them & they work instead of been on welfare benefits they're never going to get caught subletting. Subletters only seen to get caught when they abuse the welfare benefits & claim stuff they're not entitled to. It's not just a case of ' well they pay their rent on time, they keep their property nice & make their garden's look lovely and do all the repairs themselves' who cares if they're not the couple that moved in'!
I do because who am I living next door to, who are my neighbours and why are they always unhelpful,rude abusive & not at all neighbourly towards me. I don't get it. A lot of tenants who lived in Grenfell Towers were subletters, subletting is an epidemic that needs to be dealt with. If the government agencies & Housing association take photos of all their new & existing tenants it will make it harder for people to sublet then theres no address to claim benefits from.
My social housing landlord are supposed to carry out periodic visual checks as well as survey the outside of our properties to determine if any work needs doing such as cleaning the gutters or replacing them but there's no legal responsibility for them to do that.

I lost count of the number bodies I saw coming & going but a few police visits before dawn cleared them out - drug deals. Must have been 8 people in a 3 bedroom place but others were living there off & on. The $45 a week rent was a joke for the mother as she worked casually & the others just did nothing. Across the road were a few older couples who looked after their places like their own & fixed them for free.

Sorry i have to disagree with this , if my parents hadn’t of been able to purchase their council house , then myself & my siblings would of ended up in a children’s home . So this is the only good thing Margaret Thatcher granted during her PM reign .
Instead of helping the rents go out of reach by keeping a tight market on which more and more people are dependent on this idiocracy, build more houses ffs.
Housing, food, medical care should be in the pricerange of wages and NOT percieved as charity for which gratitude is required.
Why on earth do these councils pander so much? You're not under any duty of care to investigate every single complaint put forward, in fact if her behaviour was determental to the other tenants she should have been given notice. They're so full of do gooders the decent tenants end up worse off.

I don't agree with u on the second part. Should you be punished for something your parents or kids done?
Let's say she has a sister here legally been working 20 years and and becomes in a situation she needs help tik she finds a job again. Why should she be punished for what another adult has done. These people need to made to pay, every penny plus more for admin and investigation cost. I doubt UK will do much to get her properties from abroad.
@@supermandad9172U r right but sometimes people will used other people to do it for them
@@friendship9904 true and that's why they shud give harsher fines and prison sentences, to deter then from trying again . They get off easily.
If they system was efficient it would not need "tip offs" or a "slip of the tongue" to find out they're being lied to and robbed
The system is what has been scamming the people since the day they were born because the people do not like using their brains all exposed in this video here ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
Are the police that stupid that they did not charge the guy? On-going investigation? Give me a break?
What qualified a Turk for British housing for those in need? Turkey was not in the EU even. Housing officials come across as very naive.
She had a Britishpassport. Did you watchtit?
While the lady at the end has decided to take matters into her own hands and should be commended, she still should be grateful for the nice roof she and her family have over their heads.
I live in Canada and have been homeless for over three years through no fault of my own. I'm 68 and disabled but still can't get into subsidized housing. Rent in my city has risen so high after covid it's forcing more and more people out onto the streets. Shelters are limited. The city brags about all the new rental buildings being built but what they don't tell you is they are ALL high end. One bedrooms start at just over C$3000.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm currently living in a hotel which is very nice and clean but is very expensive - over $3000 per month and is the cheapest in its category.
(from the wannabe real London)
I just don't understand why it takes a complaint to get someone to check the properties out. Especially with the subletting. Why do they not do yearly inspection on the council properties, around here (Illinois) just like everyone that gets food stamps and or other government benefits has to reapply every 6 months. Also, people shouldn't be allowed to get so behind on rent
There SHOULD BE A 3 MONTH CLAUSE inserted in ALL rental agreements, no rent paid for three months your out, once signed, stick to it. Showing a hard stance will solve the problem.
I'd be checking 1 a month
These fraud gangsters need to be managed with a tough, unrelenting, no nonsense approach, with harsh penalties for non compliance.
One year in prison for every year she was in the property plus 5 years for the £174,000 fraud. Then deport.
Will never happen, not with all the activist lawyers and weak government
In Australia if U live in Housing and U do fraud and getting Government payment they stop U from getting government payment up to 3 months and U have to pay back the money for government payment and U get a fine for housing and if U stay there do U still pay but the price will go up
Still things aren't perfect here. There is a video on UA-cam where a guy is using his Centrelink money to get high
Did the government fine you...Y and O in you?
@@vienogola1421 they find out they hire people to check in every month or someone calls on U
The laugh is it is the governments and councils etc that are scamming and conning the people since the day they were born on behalf of these Mafias being exposed in this video here who own and control most of this planet and these people are not defrauding the DWP/Government/Councils etc as they are getting access to the Trusts that our corrupt governments and political parties "forgot" to tell the people that we all have had since the day we were born as per this video ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
She should be made to get letters translated before she sends it in to the housing other countries you have to and she should pay all the money back
The dude had two grow tents and they called it a "cannabis factory" for mass production. LMFAO lololol. Get real.
With the *massive* amount of foreigners moving to our country all of the council houses are no longer available. There's a 15 year waiting list. And some, not all, then use the laws of our country to get all the benefits that natural born citizens would have gotten in times of need. Straining then draining the system finances. And because a lot of the people seeking asylum are obviously in "need" too, that's how they screw the systems. And once they have a stable address within country, their families then enter the country as relatives that have somewhere to live and repeat the process. Shipping more and more foreigners into the country that weren't in dire situations. All the while more natural citizens end up on the streets and foreigners become naturalized citizens who continue to bleed the system as they setup bringing others into country to do it all again. It's very hard not to hate them all, those abusing the system, as you see them grifting the system without a care. *A Soft Invasion* some call it. And sadly the method I listed *can and does* apply to ALL of the First World Countries which are targeted this way.
Abusing the Humanitarian Help, Care and Assistance they were offered by these countries. With no intention at all of ever integrating into the country they are currently abusing / invading. It's sickening.
Not only was he growing weed, it appears he was growing really crappy weed.
Check more. Rich people are usually bigger cheats than poor people. Tina, Al's wife
The rich pay more than their far share of taxes. It's our governments stealing our taxes for themselves and their families. Like biden in America.
Wow, all of gullible enforcement investigators.
This just illustrates how extremely lax some of our authorities (local authorities,Passport Office, etc.) are with our money. All that money just gone. If cases like the Turkish woman happens just 1000 times a year that adds overone billion pounds to the national debt. Think about it.
Not something you can get away with! But she did for 9 years +, why aren't checks done at the beginning, before the government officers get a 'tip off' , and our systems should be more joined up, why are we losing track of failed asylum seekers
Can never never understand why people did not buy their social housing, it was so darned cheap.
The incompetense of the housing bodies, is staggering.
I am in temporary housing at the moment, waiting to be housed, I am on a priority banding 2, Bristol, I have autism and struggle generally daily, it was a living hell when I was told by my ex landlord served an eviction notice, me not knowing it was a 1 year tenancy only due to covid which was not made clear, then when he served the eviction Xmas 21, to be out by January 22, for no other reason than wanting it for students as he said I can get more rent, anyway week before my eviction date was due I got housed in a temporary housing association place, I got lucky on that one that I am in a reasonable nice studio flat where I have my own bedroom space with a wardrobe and chestard draws and a lounge that doubles up as a small kitchen, I only have to share the bathroom, lucky the communal area and actual building is well maintained, as I am aware of some horror story's of some temporary housing, anyway moving forward i just keep positive and know that eventually I will be housed since I am on a priority banding, I just want to get my life back on track as my life feels like it's on hold.
Chestard draws ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What sort of autism? You seem to be able to type speak and look after yrself. Why can't you work?
The council should always check the land registry as most people have other properties and the dwp should check every claimants history and there partners too.
most people have other properties...
MOST people? Bullshit
The governments, councils and DWP etc are too busy scamming the people as totally exposed in this video here ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
Legal considerations aside, outcomes against folk plainly breaking the law are simply pathetic and offer no deterrent whatsoever...
If that woman keeps smoking she will not live that long. My mum died at 68 due to smoking.
There seems to be an awful lot of people employed by the public sector, who are working their butts off doing their jobs with diligence. While many people who are not in investigation, are pinching property they are not entitled too. Civil Servants don’t have to do their job properly.
I knew she had more property, cause she was just too calm about it! Hope they keep the case open again! I'm pretty sure she has some more hid away. I know she darn near fainted when then they found out about those properties, I'm glad they did!!! 🤗
what happens when the council are dodgy....wasn't Croydon in ITV2 Documentary for poor condition of flats like that???
Strange how drug busts go wrong when the council are involved! Key workers in high places are connected with the big guys!...
Those who don’t contribute to society should DO ONE!!!
I would agree, except for truly handicapped, elderly or vets
If you weren’t listening…. These are all people who have money and no need. They are greedy not desperate. People do need help at times, not everyone can contribute at times for no fault of their own. Your lack of empathy and understanding is vile. People who need support are not criminals!
Another way Polish get top of council housing is by being ‘key’ workers, seen this myself first hand.
I do not blame these people. I blame the system on how inadequate they are. It's like the NHS or should I say WHS anyone can just walk in from all over the world. This country is a joke.
Yes. Agree with you... It's the system that is inadequate for keeping checks and balances on applicants. They claim to be cracking down now but I'm not sure they are succeeding
@@antheairenedevilliers1657 Trust me, there are people willing to work with the housing crackdown enforcement team, smash thieves and fraudsters but we won't get the job. These people are too lenient! Good they tracked criminal Katrin to her properties in Turkey.
It is the system that is scamming the people as totally exposed in this video here ua-cam.com/video/98qv9ztkW_U/v-deo.html
WTF BRITAIN?!? You get caught red handed growing illegal drugs IN YOUR HOME and just say, it’s not mine and the cops are like…. Okay, we believe you?!?
At last, one goes to prison and is chased for money she owes, it is about time the sentence fits the crime.
Not to mention the illegal boat Crossing 100,000 per year costing Britain 🇬🇧 5 Billion a year ..let's ignore that ...
Next story
Every one of these people should be required to volunteer for atleast 25 hours a week or have a part time job to recieve any help at all its not fair to the taxpayer its the same thing in the united states these people have been on foodstamps and welfare for 20 plus years
Failure in screening at the Passport office and failure in screening at the benefit office. How on earth did this happen. `Urgent changes and controls are needed before monies are paid out. As an honest tax payer I am appalled that our controls are so weak
I know people with a Council house, living on benefits, that go to live in Spain over Winter to escape the cold.
Report them
Tip of the iceberg for thieves. Took my mother, twelve years and letter from her employer saying he was ejecting her in order to get a flat. Totally British!!! 😮
Imagine going into a country that you weren’t a legal citizen of and DEMANDING anything?
This is absolutely outrageous. We (I) am happy to pay my taxes because we should look after our own who are less fortunate and really need help. And it takes the DWP and councils 9 years to even start to investigate? Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is automatically suspended if you are in hospital for 28 days. This should apply to all benefits if you are not in the country. If you're not living in your council house it should only take 6 minutes to repossess it. Regarding the council guy at 35:00. That right there is the problem isn't it.
The girl that presents this show is soooo gorgeous!🥰 Good luck UK with the ever so growing housing problems….🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
Why do you think thay want to come to the UK as soon as thay hear thay can clame for all there family back home out of the UK yet a UK homeless people can get a penny as thay can't open a bank cos thay got no adress so thay can't get any fink
So one and a half years served that's why people do it . Can't see the deterant.
How didn’t they notice just by the power use of that apartment 😂
These criminals are running rings round councils
Try a job, its revelation when you get one. Seriously, you can.
What poor governmental oversight. It seems that the only people not being looked after are the British public.
I'd love to know how the lovely lady at the end is doing now 2023, Vanessa is willing to make huge compromises in relocating to give her kids a stable home without the entitlement others often display. She deserves a nice home to help her along.
Perhaps when an application is brought to housing they then should do thorough investigation including asylum seekers if they are or not. I know this will take time. But the time these people have scammed the system for years and still living in properties they don't deserve.
How often do the council do residence checks
Do you think they have the staff?
Any immigrants that cause problems should be THROWN OUT OF THE COUNTRY. FULL STOP.
There’s no way that so many people should be on the dole in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. I’m American and my wife is an immigrant. Her comment is: “if you can’t make it here, you can’t make it anywhere”. I’d say it’s no different in the U.K.
