UK attitudes on immigration and welfare 'toughening'

[ynwa]

I worked with loads of Eastern Europeans they come over with their family. Applied for council houses and got the priority. Applied for child benefit and low income benefit. All these Eastern Europeans get when they step into UK. They don't get them benefits from their country no wonder why they all coming over.
I don't generalize them all but that's what they are doing. Then why Government blame this Immigrants from other countries that need visas? Visa is expensive and difficult to get and not everyone can afford. And once them immigrants come over they wont get any single penny from the government aside from the free health care.

Absolutely agree again...like you said British partners of spouses have gotta shell out no end of money to get there loved ones here THEN on arrival without recourse to public funds when in fact the British partner has probably been contributing for donkeys years.

Then these new Europeans land on our shores with basically more in common with folks from Mars trousering bucket fulls of readies plus a council house to boot...disgraceful, I say

We gotta be given the referendum on the EU membership as promised by Cammeron...I honestly cant see it happening with this coalition or with a Lab/Lib coalition...

On some things we can agree wholeheartedly. The EU and our contined membership of it is bleeding this country dry.
If people are blind to it they should come to London for a week. They walk round like they own the place
