Counihan-Sanchez family facing eviction

news report
Tuesday September 11, 2012 13:24 by Gerry Downing gerdowning at btinternet dot com
The plight of the Counihan-Sanchez family has got extensive coverage in the Irish Post and Irish world. Basically a family of seven is facing eviction onto the streets because Anthony, the father, inherited nine acres in Galway and Brent Council decided in January this year that this "capital asset" rendered then ineligible for Housing Benefit. They were issued with an eviction notice for 13 August, which was halted by court action. A row broke out about what Glenda Jackson MP said in private to Isabel Counihan -Sanchez - Glenda denied she had told the family to move to Wales but whatever Glenda said to Isabel in private she made her attitude abundantly clear during the course of that meeting in the Kingsgate Community centre in Kilburn on 29th August. She told the Counihans that the family were subject to means-tested housing benefit, and since they had “capital assets” in Ireland, were not entitled to any benefit. As this was the law, she said, she was unable to do anything, and she also refused to table an Early Day Motion on the issue. |

4 The Family simply need £48000 debt written off it was your fault and give them a home in your area for 7 people.
5 In any event people uk wide and worldwide will hear what brent are doing to this family.
we will write to all mps,councillors,newspapers,tv,radio,family centres,irish communitys,and many more.
6 Brent simple own up or take the hassle the protests recently are nothing now its annonomous turn and fathers 4 justice.
Brent Council you are charging a family 48.000 pounds in overpayment of housing benefits.
Because they was given some land when a relative died in ireland and they declared a small income of £18 a week.
You further tell them to live on that land when you know this land is flooded.
Glenda jackson labour tells the family to move to wales why ? the rents cheeper but thats discrimination.
This family of 7 with children you cause much stress too.
Mum having a mri scan due to illness this week.
The son aged 4 has very dificult autism and bites his hands daily for travelling from the tempory home in the neighbouring borough.
The 15 year old daughter was rushed by abulance this week due to stress from her school.
You further make threats to this family when they are homeless as they are now you will take all 5 children in to care.
BRENT YOU CANT MESS WITH PEOPLE AND I WILL NAME AND SHAME YOU .
This is my work and our 3000 supporters from the family army We will make change to all injustices .
