A person who arrives here and claims JSA and nowt else will be getting less than £100 a week, being on their own, available for work, etc. You’re not even going to get accommodation for that, so chances are, they will be doubling up with someone else, perhaps an entire group of their fellow countryfolk.
Now compare that to the bod who turns up, wife and kids in tow, or worse like babooshkas & Mafioso uncles in tow, takes one or more of our home-grown girls off the market on arrival, and gets all the handouts for kids in the mum’s name, thus disguising the fact that these benefits are going to a foreign national’s household. THEN add that housing benefit on top of that, and all capped by the stupidly high amount of what is it? - £520 a week in hand?
For having this opinion, I’m called Xenophobic btw.
What would you or I have to gross to take home £520 per week? How many benefits would those earnings disqualify us from if we did, especially if our women were working as well?
Essentially, we home-grown Brits are paying our own way, and those turning up from abroad are NOT unless they are millionaire businessmen intent on starting a firm locally, and actually employing some of us in the process. This latter scenario is so rare it pales to insignificance doesn’t it?
Those that have arrived here illegally, either get to work in the black economy, end up being enslaved, or end up working self-employed at best, and easily avoiding paying much in tax as self-employed entitles one to do. Benefits would be, for such people, indirect - but that’s why such an illegal knocks up one of our women instead of gets a proper PAYE job eh? ■■■ slave if female, enslave one of ours if male, and stack up loads of social problems for the future that they’re not even contributing much towards, except in keeping the boss’s payroll costs down at best. That helps the boss rather than the wider community, which of course is why the boss will be PRO EU whilst everyone else is dead against it.
