We need to sort out the poverty in this country before caring about people in other countries

[Denver]

Also as spoon as France vote out the EU will be gone as Germany wont pay the money of the 2 biggest contributers

There's a 35 year old man I know who has a bare minimum contract (18 hours over 3 days or something) who lives at home and the only reason he works that is to get his parents off his case. THIRTY FIVE YEARS OLD!

All this tells me is you don't know very much about farming other than gardening.

Agree with Marsh and Dezzy on this one. R.

[Denver]

And green cards work perfectly fine in Aus so they will work over here

[Ronald.]

Yes. Perhaps a break would be a good idea Adam. I have seen nothing personal in Marsh's replies. R.

Why are people even wasting time arguing over this, it's happening whether you like it or not

He's right goshdarnit, why has no one ever realised this before? Mods, close SD. It's over.

[user104658]

To be fair it's not just the Jezza contestants. I've also seen them on documentaries on Channel 5. There was this one where a guy walked into a job centre and was like "lol can I have benefits I want some" and they were like "Yeh here you go and an Audi" and they gave him an audi.

And if sources like Channel 5, ITV2 and The Sun are reporting on it, I'm not going to argue.

Oh this thread is ****ing absurd, put down your copies of the Daily Express and do some research

For starters, a UCL report found that the positive net contribution of EU migrants since 2000 totalled £20bn, compared with a negative figure for native born Brits of £617bn. Moreover, they were 43% less likely than natives to claim benefits and tax credits, and 7% less likely to be living in social housing. Not only that, but they are on average better educated than natives...with...get this, 25% of those pesky recent Eastern European migrants being university graduates compared with only 24% of Brits.

On a separate but related note, unemployment benefits total just 1% of the welfare spending bill, and even if you collate the figures for housing and family support, they still do not exceed the amount we spend on pensions. Why do people always forget this?

Migrants undercutting wages of British workers is the fault of their employers who are illegally underpaying them. The poverty we have in this country is the fault of successive governments failing to build adequate levels of social housing, and the continuing obsession with 'clamping down' on benefit fraud despite the fact that uncollected tax is 30x more of a loss. But no we won't give a **** about any of that because it's not a tangible scenario that we can envisage like Blanka and her family of seventeen kids not working and not speaking English is

Personally can't be doing with all that anti-establishment bull. That's for impressionable rebellious student types trying to 'find themselves'.
