Yes Neil, of course you are right.
But if a man/woman has earned that money here and have family in another country then you cannot blame them for trying to support their family back home.
Benefits should never ever be paid to those who wish to send
this money home,and Harriet Harman is nuts to say that the government should make it
easier for them to do this.
If a worker is earning, then they will be paying something into the system....and they will be paying taxes on stuff that they buy.
My gripe is really about those who come here having paid nothing in, but expecting to claim every benefit going.
If you come into this country then you should have the finances to be able to support yourself(and your family) for at least two years.
We are a soft touch and everyone knows it, that is why there are camps of asylum seekers in France who don't want to stay in France, but want to come to the Uk.
