Well I hope this cheers up all those struggling to pay their mortgage, all those about to lose their homes and all those who can't get on the property

Typically for the Mail, this is written in a style guarenteed to inflame the most reasonable and accepting of individuals, but if you read carefully you will see that the family occupying the house fulfil the criteria for the benefits system, and the council is maintaining its property for the use of future tennants.

It may appear unfair, but actually, under the rules, it's not.

The house is a council asset, and an engineer has found work needs to be done, or presumably, it could fall down. A landlord of any property, regardless of who lives there, will make sure their property remains lettable. I also assume there are laws which require landlords to keep their property safe.

But apart from those facts, a cracking Mail blood boiler.
