Whingey benefits dad-of-eight given free choice on taxpayer-funded £425,000 home
Shameless Arnold Sube turned his nose up at three previous properties as he did not like the look of them
A BENEFITS family of ten was allowed to pick their £425,000 taxpayer-funded home, it emerged yesterday.
Arnold Sube, 33, found the detached, “executive” property himself.
The Cameroon-born dad of eight had turned down three previous houses because he did not like them.
Part-time nurse Mr Sube and wife Jeanne, 33, agreed the let, then asked council bosses to foot the £1,200 monthly rent with public cash.
The Sun told yesterday how the family — who have cost taxpayers £238,000 in four years — were moved to the plush pad in Milton Keynes, Bucks, after moaning that their previous four-bed home was too small, despite using one room as an office.

The move has sparked outrage amongst residents living in the leafy residential street.
The Cameroon-born Subes, both 33, moved to Britain from France and cost British taxpayers £100,000 last year alone.
Councillor for Housing at Luton Borough Council, Tom Shaw, said yesterday: “They found the property themselves. That’s what I understand.
“The council would have said yes, the benefits people would have said yes, as long as it meets our normal housing allowance.
“People might not like it but we have got to follow the law.”
Mr Shaw added: “This gentleman seems to think he’s got more rights than anybody else when he hasn’t.”
He revealed the new home was “temporary accommodation” but added the family would be there “a long time”.
Asked about her new home yesterday, Jeanne said: “Are you mad? Go away.”
