I READ with much interest your recent article on asylum seekers in Wood Green.

A very close friend of mine who spent years fighting for his country is unfortunate enough to have a family of these people living close by, a woman with five kids who says she has no husband but who has a cousin lodger. She has recently had the fifth offspring.

I've learned that they live in first class bed and breakfast allowance but are often 'shopping'.

The kids have new bicycles, the recent addition has a modern 'buggy', the kids are very well clothed, they have mobiles and sky TV.

Now the older girl is taking driving lessons. I really think that the first words of English these people learn to speak is 'Haringey Council.'

Now come on council look around you and pull your finger out quickly.
