You are probably right, do you think skin colour comes into it?

Asylum seekers? skin colour? atheism? being born in England?

What have any of these things got to do with anything?

Thought the title heading was about benefits?

This thread has dangerously gone off course.

Bluntly, it surprises me that Margaretclare, an active church member should be so unwilling to extend charity to people not lucky enough to be born in this country. I was being sarcastic.

Thanks for the explanation (even if it implies that you wouldn't be surprised if an atheist was unwilling to extend charity to people not lucky enough to be born in this country).

Didn't the Labour gov tell us only a few thousand would turn up when they opened the gates a little to our small island?

And THREE MILLION strolled in.....

God help us this year when Bulgarians and Romanians start turning up by the hundreds of thousands.

Can't blame them I suppose, as we are the laughing stock of Europe when it comes to "poor ickle asylum seekers who've passed through 4 safe countries to get here".

Bulgaria and Romania are EU countries aren't they? Why would they be coming her as asylum seekers?

After reading your other thread I thought you may have been misunderstood. Now I believe the opposite, you really are silly.
Anyway if the romance with the asylum seeker does not work then perhaps you can introduce him to your daughter. Then they can watch Jeremy Kyle togethter

Perhaps the answer is in the phrase 'in God's name' but I guess you're an atheist? Presumably you would have said the same about Jewish refugees in the 1930s? (a somewhat worse recession than the current ones). Have you *any* idea what drives someone to leave their own country knowing they will probably be detained in the country you want to think of as your new home? Do you actually read the papers?

The post you quoted from Margaretclare seems to have been removed, don't know who removed it.

Just wanted to ask did you read the original post as asking how to fiddle the system? The OP seemed to be asking if she would lose benefits not how could she claim more. Is that just me?

traffiking of kids and women for brothels over here etc.......gonna be great innit?

Until now, migrants from the two former communist nations (officially barred from working or claiming benefits in Britain until the freedom of movement rule comes in on January 1, 2014) have neatly exploited a gaping loophole in the EU rules.
It allows Bulgarians and Romanians claiming to be self-employed to get a British national insurance number and a raft of hand-outs, including housing and child benefit.
Many of the new arrivals have worked hard, cornering the market in car-wash companies, for instance.
But others are less industrious, and include Roma gipsies who, remarkably, now sell a third of all copies of the Big Issue.
Even selling one copy a week of the magazine (created to help the British homeless) miraculously gives them self-employed status and allows them to beg with impunity outside shops and on street corners.
Bulgarian and Romanian incomers have been blamed by police in their own countries and in Britain for a massive rise in organised crime, including the trafficking of children to Britain to beg, pickpocket, milk state benefits and even enter the sex trade.

This was covered in a BBC documentary where they interviewed asylum seekers in Calais and the majority seemed to know the ins and outs of the benefit system in the UK ! They claimed that if they get into UK the govt will provide them with a house and allowance to live on whereas in France they have to live in tents.

"Asylum seekers do not come to the UK to claim benefits. In fact, most know nothing about welfare benefits before they arrive and had no expectation that they would receive financial support.
(Refugee Council, Chance or Choice? Understanding why asylum seekers come to the UK, 2010)"

But don't let the facts cloud your bigoted judgements.
