Afghan family living well, but grumbles about no access to Sky TV

An Afghan mum-of-seven lives in a 1.2 million pound council house, but still grumbles that she does not have access to Sky TV.
 
Toorpakai Saindi, 35, told The Sun last week that she gets 170,000 pounds a year in benefits and lives in a plush seven-bed home in Acton, West London. It has a 50 inch plasma TV, leather sofas and silk furnishings, while the kids enjoy a Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and two laptops, besides owning an expensive iPhone.
 
“It’s a big house and it costs a lot to run. It’s difficult making it all work. We don’t have Sky TV. I’d like to take the children on holiday to Disneyland Paris but I can’t afford it,” she says.
 
“I spend 150 pounds a week on food and my kids tell me when there are two-for-one offers at the shops. But by the end of the week there is no money left,” she adds.
 
She added: “I know some people are a bit jealous of us. But I am very shocked at the rent – it’s too much.”

The Ealing Council pays 12,000-pounds-a-month rent for the house. (ANI)
