Feel free to correct me someone, but I beieve that the average subsidy for social housing from the rest of society is about £35 per week, per property.

I know of a family (not in Barnet) that is now quite wealthy, and has the income to go on expensive holidays, but lives in such subsidised housing.

But maybe we shouldn't throw out babies with bathwater - that family is also articulate and public-spirited - it holds the local estate together, which might go downhill like others nearby.

No, this is not a spoof, but like the Monty Python character, Mr Smoketoomuch, I never noticed the problem with the headline until you pointed it out!

1. Please don't mix weeks and months. I have to get the calculator. £150 a week is £650 a month so Crow pays more !
2. Crow - Birds of a feather - ho ho. Is it still April Fool's Day. Is this a spoof ?
