The robbng bleeders
just watched the news on BBC1 about a couple who lost their home for a
measly £10.000 and a rent house in the bargain in Salford. The area was due for regenration so the houses were coming down(alledgedlly),two years on and the council decided the houses are staying,gutted them,refurbished them and now selling them £70.000 to £85.000 This is has got to be the most ripoff trick councils can come up with. |
