They want to curtail the use of the cheap flights to the continent...flights to Malaga for £10 (one way)........that is for the hoi polloi...but it is Ok for the politicians to drive gas guzzling limos and use helicopters etc for their own travel.
And as for taxes ...well, we are keeping the families of militant ethnics in the custom to which they have so easily become used to. It seems to me that anyone can come here and claim benefits whether they have earned them or not.
A case in point is the 7 foot Pakistani woman who is claiming asylum here because she says she gets bullied back in her homeland......she is on benefits......has a rent and rate free flat and is paid 40 quid a week.....she also says she can't work because she is a diabetic......eh, how many diabetics hold down full time jobs? Oh, yes and she gets all her diabetic treatment free here...she would have to pay for it back in Pakistan.
The government has given her a two year temporary visa...but I'll bet you a pound to a pinch of donkey droppings that she gets full residency status after that.

And NO I'm not being racist......I'm just being a realist. You can't go giving money from the public purse to folk who have not paid into the system....not unless you want to be taxed out of existence like we are.

I'd emigrate but no-one will have me.
