Is this just something that you suspect, surmise, or have you evidence to prove this is what is planned.

Do you think we can hand out benefits to all and sundry who come here?
Don't you think 26K per year(which equates to something in the order of 32K per year after tax) is an overly large amount of money to claim in benefits?
If you answer the the last question is 'NO'...then would you advocate pensioners get a similar amount(pro rata)?
Pensioners are expected to live on much less than some of these idlers........OK, I know that from previous posts you have said that you think the majority of people have paid into the system....and deserve to get something back. There are people working unsocial hours who don't get anywhere near this amount and they manage.
What chance is there of getting people to go out to work if they can get 26K per year for sitting on their butts?
I am not happy that my taxes go to pay to keep these people in a lifestyle that I myself cannot afford.....but you obviously don't mind putting your hand in your pocket to help them out.
