Anyway, my reference was to abuse of the welfare state, not using it when you need to!
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
