whilst I do not wish to enter into an argument I have to ask why it is necessary to report the post because others may not agree with the content. We might not all agree with each other but we still have the right to give an opinion and enter into the discussion - no bad language was used. I am a little bit puzzled by this response and think it is a little drastic and unfair to try and get someone removed from the board because he expressed an opinion which may or may not be a popular one.0 -

I agree and hopefully so will the mods
Mind you if you get refugees being allowed homes and benefits through being here why not your wife come through that route and hide in a lorry

I do think he has a right to say what he thinks. I am trying to politely say that just because we may not all like what other posters have to say does not mean they have to keep quiet as long as they do not use bad language or a threatening manner.0 -

Noooo i'm not saying they will be scroungers, i'm saying i agree that a user can give his opinion if it's not an abusive comment
I also meant that if refugees can do it, then why can't she

oooops sorry i thought this thread was about a male asking whether him and his wife would be able to claim child benefit and child tax credits. Can't really see where certain opinions on here refer to what the OP has asked or is i just any opinion is ok cause i thought i would mention i think the school dinners at my daughters school really are appalling :rolleyes:Kimberley wrote:Noooo i'm not saying they will be scroungers, i'm saying i agree that a user can give his opinion if it's not an abusive comment
