Re: Child Benefit to foreign nationals.

This has been going on for years, its not a new phenomena, when I was serving my time as an apprentice joiner back in the 60s, there was a German bricklayer called Kurt, who had lived here for five years, had 2 kids back in Germany, he claimed child benefit for both these kids even though, he had no contact with them what so ever and didn't pay anything to his ex-wife for their up keep, this is over 50 years ago. I said it was wrong then and I still say its wrong today, but off course its just part of what makes GB the choice, by people wanting to move away from their country of birth purely for financial reasons, we were an easy touch then and we're just the same today but even worse, its time somebody had the balls to say enough is enough, but Blair and Brown did nothing about it, and I've even less faith in Cameron tackling it at all.
