Southwark Council has evicted the First Lady of Sierra Leone, Fatima Bio, who lives in a palace, from her council flat in South London. Whatever will she do…
It follows a year-long investigation. She defended her use of the property recently, saying: “My children are all British citizens… I’m paying for my council house myself. I have not committed any crime.” Didn’t work…
18,000 people are on the Southwark’s waiting list. The council said:
“We can confirm we have taken possession of a property in Walworth following a 12-month investigation by our Housing Investigations Team.
I look forward to bringing this council property back to its original purpose which is to provide a safe and secure home for people with legitimate housing need on the council’s waiting list. This property will be swiftly allocated to a local family in genuine housing need.”
Took their sweet time…
Lord Khan in the Telegraph: “I hope, and I say this in a non-pompous way, that the public service I do will bring rewards in this world and the hereafter,” he says. “I’m hoping the work I do is earning me Brownie points.”
