Seems everyone in Europe is clamping down ont thillegals, even the cheese eating surrender monkeys. Riot police wading right in there

And should they (or their successor) review this policy I'll look forward to getting my first 'Britain's Full Up - Sorry!' rebate payment. (and sleep soundly knowing my pallets won't be nicked).

If benefits in the UK were only handed out to people that have actually paid into the system,maybe there wouldn't be as many "refugees" hanging  underneath wagons to get here from Calais.

In fact they'd probably be fighting to get out of here.

It's something silly like 3/4 months then you can claim benefits they lay low then jump on it,make it years not months that will put them off same with nhs treatment

I apologise to the philanthropic millionaires overseas, in the unlikely event they read this forum. It smacks of double-standards however, you're tarring everyone in those camps with the inferrence they're keen to gain entry to the UK to take advantage of our system - making the point they should settle in the first safe place they happen upon, and if not, why not? I jokingly made the point about Jewish Europeans fleeing the Third Reich settling in Switzerland and Norfolk, although it was made in jest it had a truth behind it - people fleeing warzones and/or persecution usually try and reach the place they believe they can pick up and start some semblance of a normal life, especially if the conflict in the area they originate looks like having no signs of abating. This may be anywhere in the World, this is why it's called a diaspora. If these Syrians were in a typhus ridden tent city in Turkey, dying like flies, that'd be OK? They were at least safe from bullets and bombs, in't it a shame, oh well, compassion fatigue and all that...

 

As others have said a big part of what makes our nation great is our willingness to not turn our backs on those who may be in genuine need, if that allows some to abuse our collective good-heartedness then that's an upalatable by-product we have to tolerate.

 

I've said it before, folk living in pallets and carrying all their belongings in a carrier bag don't pose much threat to my way of life, I don't know why anyone else would see them as a threat,

their are millions who would come to this country on the sponge.

 

how can you say they are no threat....to what.

 

 

schools ,nhs, benefits, housing.

 

are they all monks who won't procreate to strengthen their claim for welfare /benefits

 

have you seen how much we pay for kids that are in the EU but have never lived in this country.

 

 

i nominate you bellend of the year.

 

please feel free to sell your house and surrender all you wealth to support these poor people.

You are.
