£95,000-a-year benefits family of 12 re-homed in a £1,000-a-week house... 'after they trashed the last one'

Jobless Sam, 36, and Pete Smith, 40, have been given the new house in Bristol to house their brood.

The family were kicked out of their previous four-bedroom home in picturesque Bath after a £20,000 wrecking spree left it unfit for human habitation.

It was left in such a foul state that children's' mattresses and walls were stained with human and animal excrement, floors were mouldy and rat droppings littered the floor.

But instead of being reprimanded, the couple were housed in a five-bedroom house in nearby Bristol - which they have already set about trashing.
