New rules for working tax???

Sadly, your post comes across as such.
No agency in their right mind would state that someone couldn't apply, because they were not Polish.
Sorry you feel it comes across that way, but i am definetly not in anyway shape or form a racist,, and i apologise if i came across that way....basically all i am trying to get across is that this country has a LOT of people and not enough jobs...if we cut back on giving the jobs to others there would be more jobs to kick the people who are happy to sit on the dole or whatever it is called these days....then they can find out those who want to work, and those who dont/wont a little easier, and start cutting benefits to kick them up the bum...i have always stressed to my kids that they have to work for a living, nothing comes free.
As for the agency, i am going on what the young lad told me, i do know though around here there are a lot of agencies, so dont know which one he was referring to.
I do applaud those who do work here when others wont even get off their bums....and i know a few believe me:D
I'm hoping this can now be resolved, i really don't want to offend anyone!!!0 -
When i say about foreigners, i will rephrase and say in the last few years, and we all know it has got more common for the polish especially to come to this country to find work...thus having less jobs for our ever growing unemplyed youngsters.
At my husbands work, there is a polish man who has openly said he has come here to work, as he can earn so much more.....
Activley seeking work, no i havn't as i havnt needed to and dont need to even as of april, because my husband will be back to full hours by then
I also mentioned about the lady with 7 children as i stated i was shocked at how much money someone in her case was getting, compared to someone who tried to keep earning and maintaning their own income.
I don't think Polish (or other EU nationals) actually take jobs away from young unemployed people. Some of them work very hard, and well, in a way that some young English people aren't prepared to do,
In London, at least, there is no shortage of jobs, including part-time ones, albeit perhaps not very exciting jobs....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Strangley, under EU laws, an EU citizen has more rights than the citizens of the country they are living in (and that includes Brits moving to another EEA country)!
Only if the EEA national is a "qualified person", of course....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

They won't admit it because it isn't true!0 -
What about working for charity, as in not getting paid but fund raising for cancer, does that count towards tax credits?0

That's why Cameron said that welfare reforms and immigration controls, are "two side of the same coin"

....which brings the thread back on topic again.;)RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

True; I should have added that EEA citizens have to be exercising their "EU rights" to have everything that citizens of that country, are allowed. Those EU rights are: working in that country (full or part time); claiming Job seekers welfare; studying; self sufficient.
I suppose I should have also added that for some strange reason known only to Blair, some EEA countries have been given those EU rights in the UK by the last government, but those countries don't give EU rights back to us i.e. Norway.RENTING?

oh and i think if the government took more of a stance of letting foreigners into the country, doing jobs we could be doing then the country wouldnt need to be forking out so much in benefits!!!!!
An instance, my stepsons friend came round the other week, and sia dhe had rang an agency up about work...they asked him if he was polish, when he said no he was told he couldnt apply!!!!!
I am not a racist person in any shape or form, but do feel we need to take a leaf out of Australia's book and only have people who can do certain types of jobs!!!
With the expansion of the EU, immigrants have been attracted to this country by the welfare system and, in my area. I could see the race to have children to start on the benefits. It would be interesting to see how the introduction of the universal credit will force some of these immigrants to go back home. Benefit reform can't come fast enough.0
