Surely if you've been paying tax and NI into the system you should be able to claim if you need it? Or are you saying they should pay their way but go home if they want any of it back?

So why if you work in France can you not get benefits after x amount of years? OH worked there for 5 years and when he was ill and not able to work what did he receive? NOTHING!!!! Healthcare is very expensive in France also. When I need a course of antibiotics it cost me £70. That's why people want to come here and not other countries

check this one out!! my friend just told me they had a lot of local people were made redundant at his place, only for the jobs to be retititled and filled with ...... immigrant workers, bussed in from miles away.

Now the problem was that these people had a limited knowledge of english, so a health & safety concern was raised... so what did the company do? put on an ESOL course (English Speaking for other Languages) or similar meaning.

so the local people are out of work & the immigrants are bussed in and have a free course in english!...

is it me?
