    Shouldn't have launched 4 kids then if you couldn't provide for them.

    Trouble is it seems OK to discriminate against people based on their employment status.

    sadly it does :(

    I feel when they say about being a bad mum they should have thought how she was going to provide for their children before they had them, one may be an accident but 4 is not.

    Most of which goes to the buy to let landlords.

    Artificially HIGH rents are the problem, not the unemployed.

    Yes the rents are far too high, greed

    So she's been looking for a council housing since before she had the 4 kids. That explains the reason for the 4 kids.>:(

    No party seems keen on rent controls so the problem will escalate

    Trouble is we are not being told if these single mums are single because of separation or being widowed.

    Even £620 a month rent is a lot for someone on a minimum earnings type wage, feel sorry for her

    What does this woman think the rest of us do? She has some warped ideas of renting.

    What is wrong with moving out of an area

    I had to move from Chelsea to East London in the 60's because it became to expensive to live in Chelsea.

    You do what you have to do,It is still the same country.

    It's not a lot outside London either. Shouldn't she have worked out how much she could afford before looking at places?

    This is so annoying, Sabrina is just so unreasonable!

    I moved across county twice to be able to work and support my son! None of this expecting to get a place on doorstep
