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

Maybe they're claiming benefits for a valid reason? |

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. |

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.  got a bulgarian single mum in mine yeah but the Polish one pays Dingdell rent so that's an investment So does mine + 75% of whatever she earns |
