On reflection, how about the Phils? ... not such a daftwhen you consider the loot the British Embassy in Manila must have stashed away from the extortionate fees charged for 'Settlement Visa' applications from a large chunk of South East Asia!
They give all the money to me cause I'm so nice..

More to do with the fact that money is spent on the most ridiculous things such as 150 million on some scuplture for the olympics. In addition to overspending due to abuse of the welfare state and immigration.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/t...in-Poland.htmlthe best guess is that about £20 million in child benefit was coughed up by British taxpayers last year to support almost 38,000 children living in Poland.
Imagine how much you poor sods will have to cough up in child benefit when Turkey joins the EU!!
Guess you won't be applying for your wife/girlfriend to settle in the UK then in case she abuses the system.
I really dont think there is any call for a post of this tone
We are all entitled to our opinion of course , but given the nature of what kind of forum this is, that kind of reply is misguided
I think all of the anti immigration posts are the ones that are not just misguided but downright offensive and are using double standards. It's ok for my Filipina to come to the UK but not others appears to be the attitude.
its not hand outs from the gov, it's tax payers money, claiming it if your entitled to it and abusing it are 2 different things
which immigration posts are misguided ?
what i find offensive is the 2 different immigration systems this country has, and I find it offensive that a citizen of this country has to pay and doesn't have the legal right to bring their wife here, while a European living in this country does.
double standards, i don't think anyone is against others coming here to the UK if they are legally entitled to, abuse of the visa system is wide spread, 1million illegal immigrants are here many working illegally.
a fair system for all
World bank?It puzzels me,
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
To be honest scouse, I would never let her. I don't use the NHS and Marvie and Angel won't use NHS. My children will attend private school, and should I ever find myself on the dole, I'd rather wait on tables or sweep the streets then accept handouts from the government!
Anyway, my reference was to abuse of the welfare state, not using it when you need to!

My view on immigration is that for people who come to the country, work and contribute or are supported by a spouse is more then acceptable; but i reiterate that abuse of the system is completely unwelcome, and not just by immigrants, but by citizens.
The welfare state and the NHS are great systems, but abuse of them places a heavy drain on these resources.
Take the couple in the newspapers today, who have 7 children and cannot afford to work, as the government gives them 800 pounds a week. If they worked, they couldn't earn that! The problem is at government level allowing this to happen, not with people.
Keith..

The UK public sector net debt was £848.5 billion. (or 59.9% of National GDP)
The Centre for Policy Studies argues that the real national debt is actually £1,340 billion, which is 103.5 per cent of GDP...Or was that 1.34 TRILLION??
Looking up you say?
“In an extreme situation a fiscal crisis could lead to some domestic capital flight, severe pound weakness and a sell-off in UK government bonds. The Bank of England may feel forced to hike rates to shore up confidence in monetary policy and stabilize the currency, threatening the fragile economic recovery,” they said.
Morgan Stanley said that such a chain of events could drive up yields on 10-year UK gilts by 150 basis points. This would raise borrowing costs to well over 5pc - the sort of level now confronting Greece, and far higher than costs for Italy, Mexico, or Brazil.
High-grade debt from companies such as BP, GSK, or Tesco might command a lower risk premium than UK sovereign debt, once an unthinkable state of affairs.
