| £1.5 Million Asylum Stinker A town is splashing out £1.5 MILLION a year to furnish plush flats for asylum seekers, the News of the World can reveal. More than £3,000 a year is spent kitting out each of about 500 flats for newly arrived immigrants — despite severe poverty in the area. Taxpayers' cash is spent on swanky beds, carpets, fridge-freezers, cookers, microwaves and even ASH TRAYS. The makeovers are part of a scheme to improve living conditions for asylum seekers in Rochdale, Lancs. "I turned up on some jobs and the asylum seekers were waiting for us with a list of what they wanted. "I was disgusted. It's one thing giving these people a roof over their head but it's a different matter when you turn it into a palace for them. "When the furniture was being carried in, they were grinning from ear to ear. It was a joke. Dozens of flats ended up being trashed in weeks but the furniture just got replaced........
