I can understand her wanting to be near friends, but we are a friendly lot in Milton Keynes. She was offered a place here, surely that would be better than having her children taken away.
Yes, Milton Keynes does have the NHS and schools.
We invited her in to our country, now she wants to pick and choose where about she lives. She should be grateful to be offered a home.

Meantime, a young couple both working hard in decent jobs and with three children of similar ages would not even come close to being able to do so.
Many people bang on about the need for "equality". So how does this situation demonstrate equality? My fictitious working couple, when faced with increasing rent in the area they live, cannot simply go to their employers and demand extra wages to cover the cost. They have to make decisions about their future and often that involves moving to a less expensive area. For them that will be far more problematic than it is for Ms Nzolameso because they will have to incorporate either a job change or change of travelling habits to get to work.
“She didn't do anything wrong to lose her tenancy in Westminster…”
No, her mistakes began long before that. She should not have become pregnant three times when she clearly did not have the means to support even one child, let alone more. I’d love to have the tenancy of an agreeable flat in the centre of London (especially if someone else was paying my rent). I cannot afford to and I don’t see any reason why I should contribute towards enabling Ms Nzolameso to do so. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that property in London (and most other leading cities) is very expensive and those who live there – whether doing so at their own or other people’s expense – must be prepared to move out when they (or the taxpayer) can no longer afford to fund their property.

Well for starters here are a few.

Any more you would rudely care to come up with?

///Ms Nzolameso applied for cheaper housing in November 2012 and was offered the alternative accommodation out of the borough in Milton Keynes. After she turned it down, the council said it no longer had a duty to find her a home.///
I think it's probably unfair, if not unexpected, to lay the blame solely at her (high cost to the taxpayer) front door. She tried to mitigate her housing costs but after a cursory offer of housing in MK, Westminster Council effectively washed its' hand of her.

/// She separated from her children’s father in 2007 but they still have contact with him, although this too would be harder if they moved to Milton Keynes ///
Yes it seems it is more financially wise, as regards claiming benefits if couples separate, but please forgive me for possessing such a suspicious mind.
On the other hand he could have helped her, if he had claimed to the ECHR, his right to a family life .
