There are plenty of jobs, it's just that indigenous lazy Brits expect care homes and farmers fields to be staffed by immigrants.

Those immigrants have to work a few hours a week or else they aren't allowed immeditate access to UK welfare payments i.e. housing benefit, tax credits, child benefits, disablilty, income support etc plus NHS (although the UK is getting taken to the EU courts over their stance on this by disgruntled EU immigrants). These EU route immigrants also need to do some work to take advantage of EU rules of then being allowed to then get citizenship of that EU country.

Those workers you mention have to be using the EU route to live here as oppose to UK immigration rules, as UK immigration working visas do not allow people who are that low skilled, to settle in the UK.

Can anyone really have a problem with having a cap on the number of children that the state will support? Does anyone really believe that families with more than 6 kids would exist if the taxpayer wasn't helping to pick up the tab?

The only question remains that number the cap should be set at. I think 2 is reasonable, certainly no more than 3.

I think we should definitely cut benefits. I am sick of paying for other people's kids. I know of several people who let out their social houses...sub let them while getting housing benefit, two young women who have got pregnant to get social housing and many people who falsly claim benefits....some have told me how easy it is and have offered to show me how to do it. My son, who works can't afford another child yet he is paying for scroungers' kids. Benefit cuts...bring them on!

Hey, British workers are very busy claiming benefits. Please don't disturb them.

Ah. Another gutless "newbie" AE.

What makes you right? Ever thought it is more gutless for the workshy not to stand up to their responsibilities like the rest of us have to?

Sorry, what?

I was talking about capitalism pretending to be a newbie and hiding behind an AE.

Your last sentence implies that the Benefit Fraud team HAVE done something about this woman - ie "haven't done nothing" means "have done something"!

How do you know that nothing has been done? She could be being investigated at this very moment, or the Department could have investigated and are waiting for a warrant to be issued.

As for 'doing nothing', have you complained to your MP about any supposed inaction? Surely, if you are convinced the woman is a fraud, and nothing is being done, a trip to your MP's local surgery to have a word with him is the least you could do? Most MP's hold a surgery on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings. Even local councillors hold them too, at places like libraries and other civic buildings.

He's been living there for 3 months; if Benefit Fraud had stepped in he wouldn't be there end off!!

Like I said in previous post, Benefit Fraud are a disgrace allowing this to carry on after 4 complaints made.

Plus the fact they have just had a week's holiday which I believe her partner has paid for!!

i agree with many of the welfare cuts but when the hell are they going to tackle the £120 billion in tax avoidance by making it completely illegal?
Oh wait a minute, that is an impossibility seen as the whole lot of them are in bed together.
The working classes are being turned against the underclasses in order to deflect from the true enemies.
The current benefits culture has only been achieved by sucessive governments and there policies.

People need to deal with the real crisis that is facing the economy, which is the winding up of the ponzi scheme which is otherwise known as the world financial system.

Then do what I suggested in the post you have just quoted! Or are you prepared to sit on your ar*e and forget all about it?

And for your information, if the Department have investigated, they have no powers to order him from the house.

How do you know they haven't been investigated and sanctioned? And three months is hardly a long time with things like this. If they are investigated and found guilty, then they will have to pay back everything they have defrauded so any delay will hardy matter. In fact the longer a delay, the more they will have to pay back.

I would stop all benefits for children, parents working or not, the choice to have children is yours, you should keep them not the tax payer and yes I do get child benefit, would struggle without it but would manage, me and hubby didn't decide to have children so other people could keep them.
