How is anyone on here giving him a hard time?
He comes on when he wants a right any member has, then he ignores what has been said.
Perhaps more like a typical politician of any party than a,

political coward

Sorry Less have to disagree on this one, He is steering clear of answering questions that need answering, taking into consideration how he had USED this site for his OWN political ends in the past, but now is quite content to dodge the real issues, end of story

'Firuta Vasile, a Romanian immigrant and mother of four, smiles broadly as she holds out a copy of the Big Issue. And well she might, having just won a landmark court decision that entitles her to housing benefit for her Ł130,000 three-bedroom home on top of the Ł25,500-a-year state handouts she already gets.'

Firuta Vasile: The really Big Issue is bullying beggars who milk the welfare system | Mail Online

'Now she’s won — with legal aid, of course — the floodgates are open to other such cases.'

'...many will be appalled at the court’s decision and the fact that single mothers from countries such as Romania can simply arrive here and help themselves to Ł25,500 benefits.'

Many?

I wonder just how many of us are appalled at this madness, resulting from our E.U. membership?

Do we think it might be as high as 95%?

On no, can't be.

According to Graham Jones '95% of us don't give a toss about Europe'.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

I am apalled at all these "benefit wangling" stories -there is something fundamentally wrong when people can enter a country, where they have never contributed to the economy, and settle with large families and milk the system.

I know that EU laws are to blame but i have the feeling that they are only being exploited this way in the UK because of the "soft" system. In Italy you are entitled to no benefits unless you've worked for 2 years consecutively, and I've never heard of any cases similar to these stories. As far as I'm concerned free-migration within the EU should be based on having a job to move to or some guarantee of economic independence -makes sense and would cut out these scroungers having a field day.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

Interestingly someone(BBC,newspaper?) contacted the Romanian Embassy for a comment-the comment was 'These are not Romanians- they are Roma, no comment'.

It's not all the EUs fault, its the way our own PC brigade in Government, Civil Service and Local Government apply these rules.
As mobertol says, Italy doesn't allow it and the European Court doesn't jump on them.

I'm pretty certain Spain doesn't allow It either in fact If you have nowhere to live and no means of supporting you're self you are out the door.

That is exactly as it should be.
We should tell them...No house, No job, No means of support....NO ENTRY.

You should take heed of what Bernard once posted.

'Think more like an Internationalist'.

You'll then be fully able to appreciate the many benefits Britain has, because of it's continued E.U. membership.

You'll soon join Graham Jones's 95% of the population who 'don't give a toss about Europe'.

Think like one of Bernard's Internationalists, and you'll probably find yourself down at Dover, welcoming your international brothers and sisters with open arms.

You'll probably find yourself opening up your purse, and stuffing your money directly into their pockets.

Thus cutting out the middle man.

Remember.

You're not a mug, you're an Internationalist.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

I see that Hyndburn's MP is once again making wise use of parliamentary time.

BBC News - Blackburn Rovers boss in fans 'smear campaign', claims MP

Banging on about football club that isn't even in his constituency!

Absolutely amazing!

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

so blackburn rovers manager is supposedly launching a smear campaign against the fans and this needs addressing in parliament ?

i hope graham was addressing the issue of fans demanding keane be fired in parliament it has just as much merit to be addressed there lol

if teh rovers fans do manage to get keane out we could pick up some tips and get this clown out too hahaha
