Pasted for those who don't want to click the link...

Highlighted the truly stupendous parts.




Now for the stupid parts;

1; People from the EEA countries are exempt (as they have to be by law) but this is a "response to the expansion of the EU"

Does anyone know the list of EEA countries?...If not have a look here;


http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_WTD004113.html

If you don't want to click the link..most Eastern European countries (Like Hungary and Poland) are already in there...so...what's this a response to again? The Eastern Europeans are exempt.

Stupid point nr2;

Contributing to a special fund and the young and elderly pay more towards the fund because "they are deemed a greater burden"... anti-discrimination laws anyone? Why would an immigrant have to pay more towards a special fund if they already pay tax? (which is the whole point of the excersise if you believe the article)

So what is the point of this plan other than to placate the right wing element (and only the unthinking ones at that as the ones that can read will surely also think this plan is a bit strange)? Once more it's nothing more than a ploy to grab a cheap headline on the back of immigrants in an attempt to gather votes and look tough, without actually doing anything.

Marvellous.

On behalf of the  /:-|, thanks  ::) ;surrender;

One in one out policy

If the welfare system encouraged people to go out and work as opposed to live off the state, we might find less people coming over to milk the system.

I resent having to work hard for my living so someone else can do nothing. I understand that on the whole, that is not the purpose, but I also know that a large portion of those claiming are doing so illegally by using false reasons or pure laziness. Not to mention those that outright manipulate the system.

Amazing, really, that the country we used as a dumping ground for convicts now has us all flocking out there to escape here. The irony.

racist!

heightist

yeah that too!

Well the Poles ,to be fair, worked damned hard.. There downfall is drink.. and by God they can drink.. A number of other Eastern European countries residents that turn up here are happy to beg and scrounge.. Others i.e. Iraqi Kurds and Afghans (people not dogs) make me despair.. "welcome to the land of milk and honey" i sometimes say to them as they emerge from the back of a lorry.. 99% of them dont speak any English except "ashhylumm"
Now call me old fashioned, but if you are in fear of your life ,for some reason ..lets say Trainspotters had becme a persecuted breed..then they  leave England and go to France, Ireland or Holland, countries that abutt onto this green and overcrowded land, you DONT travel half way round the world in the back of a lorry though about six countries before turning up in the country of choice due to the welfare system.. Bearing in mind to pay the people trafficers at the moment cost about $4000-$6000 to get over here.. A few years ago the average cost was $10,000 but its so competative now the price has fallen. Cant pay ? then you end up in virtual slavery if your a man or prostitutuion if your a woman. Get caught and its on the plane back home with $$$ in your pocket to soften the blow.. then its back to Bighty again in the back of a lorry.. have a look at Old Bailey online to see how they dealt with returnees from deprtation many many years ago!

However dont get me wrong.. As stated in the beggining the Poles work damned hard, it really does get my panties in a bunch when I speak to some British Half wit and ask there occupation "I'm on the sick" usually said through a fug of ciggarette smoke "On the sick?? i didn't realise thats an occupation now!" i reply.. "I suffer with anxiety.." I ask "can you spell that please ?" cometh the reply"Nah i dont even know what it means but the doctor says it must be anxiety cause he cant find anything else wrong.."
People of this country are as bad at being idle scroungers as some of the imported scroungers.. And of course this is a topic that we can't talk about as we might upset sensibiliites and it's only a short hop skip and a jump from that position to being branded a racist and then we stop talking about it again..

The projection is that in the near future this country will have 90,000,000 people living here thats up 1/3.. I can hardly move /see the doctor/get a dentist/summon an ambulance/call the police/find peace and quiet at the moment...imagine what it will be like with that many people trying to live here, I really do despair for my children. 

Exactly, so obv not a kneejerk reaction!

Jeez - how many stereotypes is it possible to get in to one post?!

4727.5??

I think you'll find that builders begrudge the poles........

Not the Polish ones.

no - they are all too pissed to care, apparently :D

This planet is over-crowded by approximately 1 billion people.

Your suggestion?

Kill all Scots! (except the Lovely MrsBoldie and her Gran)

All go to Spain...see ya!

Just rented one of my flats to a woman and her son who have popped over from Poland. She doesn't speak a word of english, and is on benefits which pay for the rent on my flat which help pay towards the mortgage. On behalf of myself and my pension fund I would like to thank you, the tax paying public (apart from the poker pro's ovbiously) for helping me build my financial future.   ;D

See?..everybody wins!

got a bulgarian single mum in mine

yeah but the Polish one pays Dingdell rent so that's an investment ;)

My parents rent two houses out...one to Polish and one to Chinese... on yes you guessed it benefits!

So glad I dont pay tax anymore!  ;ifm;

What difference does it make if they were born in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Poland, China, Iraq, or Somalia?

Obv it dont matter...but its more people who shouldnt have just been allowed to claim benefits and not work, but they rent our property so thats fine...

It's ok as long as its beneficial to you :)

Well that was kinda of the punchline....

Maybe they're claiming benefits for a valid reason?

Maybe they not?

But there country of birth is irrelevant, is it not?

;)

this is a thread about immigrants - of course it's relevant! :D

Was in relation to that post.

I think the point Sledge was trying to make was that immigrants are coming over here and liiving off taxpayers money via handouts.  They can't win really, people used to complain about them coming over here and taking our jobs!

I know.  I was playing devil's advocate.

The thing is why should someone be entitled to anything just because they fell out of the womb in a different place to someone else.

me too :)

So does mine + 75% of whatever she earns ;)

AND YOUR WOMEN! .:) :) :)  ;yippee; ;yippee; ;sark; ;sark; ;cupcake; ;cheerleader;

Oh and Turkey joining the EU next year and 1 million immigrants will instantly arrive in England...but its ok because im one of the one out people....
