I have a huge problem with this. Within 30 seconds of reading it, and using google, I found virtually all of it to be 100% lies.
This is a link the a pdf that explains all the bullshit. Below i will post exerpts.
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CD0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parliament.uk%2Fbriefing-papers%2Fsn05621.pdf&ei=eunkUPq1J4rM0AXK0YGQDQ&usg=AFQjCNFPYLFdPZoVV_483YUJy3ZhD1ZyVg&bvm=bv.1355534169%2Cd.d2k"The figures in the final column of the table in the email bear no relation to any UK out-of-work benefit rates. The current rate of income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, for example, is £71.00 a week for a single person aged 25 or over, or £111.45 for a couple. People in receipt of out-of-work benefits may also receive Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, but the table does not mention assistance with housing costs.
Asylum seekers – ie persons awaiting a decision on an asylum application – are not entitled to mainstream non-contributory social security benefits including income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income Support and Housing Benefit. Instead, they may be eligible for accommodation and/or financial support from the UK Border Agency.
Cash support for asylum seekers is less generous than social security benefits; for example, a single person aged 18 or over currently receives £36.62 a week and a couple £72.52 a week."
"The full Category A Retirement Pension is currently £107.45 a week. Pensioners whose total income – including their Retirement Pension – is less than the Pension Credit Guarantee Credit may be able to get their income “topped-up” to that level. The Pension Credit Guarantee Credit for a single pensioner is £142.70 a week, and £217.90 for a couple, but further additions may be payable for disability and/or carers."
This sort of thing is just racist. 1752 shares about 12 since i first saw it. Absolutely pathetic. Is there no hope in this world?
