  • I would look at my previous posts where I post up legal links an attempt by a non lawyer to improve the welfare rights advice here.
    MSE CAB initiataive is another. Hopefully we will see the rise of the common masse of wouldbewelfarerightsadvisors in the bulk of the MSE populace rather than the MSE Benefits bashers who make everyone's life more miserable.
    As far as I am concerned, I do what is right for me and I don't care what people think. I have made friends on here and there is a lot of love for me on these Forums.
    If I cared about benefit basher man, or benefit basher pensioner or benefits basher c I would not get anywhere.
    All I have to do is make right decisions for my life, legally qualify for my money and try to work out my swearword swearword future.

    "Grrrr I was just reading the Daily Mail web-site and accidently clicked on the window for this thread which my wife was reading earlier.

    After reading just the first 5 lines of Shazm's comments I roared in impotent rage.

    I am sick to death of johnny foreigner coming to this country and stealing our money through our overly generous benefits system.

    We proper Brits are being exploited by "Europeans" who see us as a soft touch and are all to ready to finish off what Hitler started and bring this proud non european country to its knees.

    They come over here stealing our jobs and then don't have the decency to get a job and just steal my tax payers money!!!!!


    Its bleeding heart liberals that are ruining this country blah blah blah benefit cheats bluster bluster bluster fume!!!!!!"

    Sorry, do I sound like anyone who has already commented on this thread?

    It is quite clear that there are not too many people who really understand the nature of the debt crisis in this country and just are so ready to believe what ever comes from this goverments mouth.

    The amount of money paid in benefits (Never mind just to foreign residents) is so insignificant in the grand scheme of the countries debt as to be negligible.

    The major reason we have so much debt is because the banking system was under regulated and allowed to basicly gamble on what it liked with whoevers money it wanted.

    when this went south WE the tax payer bailed out the banks to the tune of several hundred billions (maybe more).

    So to harrass a women who has come on here looking for advice and support because her circumstances do not fit the little Englander mentality of some of the posters is a disgrace and one, which previous generation considered bullying in a more gentler ti

    Sorry,your post is really confusing.

    Are you for or against? Nearly the whole of your post waffles on about 'johnny foreigner' coming to this country blah blah,and yet at the end of your post in the last paragraph you clearly disagree with the way the Op has been treated on here?

    The Op and her daughter are British! They are not foreigners. However,the partner is Spanish. So yes, he is a 'foreigner' as you say. Even so, he hasn't just come here yesterday on a banana boat to claim benefits...

    Nobody is doubting your wish to do whatever it takes for your kids. I'd do the same for mine and my grandchildren, and so would most people - it's called being a parent. :)

    I must confess to being confused though, about your circumstances. I've gathered that after your husband left you, in Spain, 3 of your daughters came back with you to the UK, thanks to your sister, who drove to rescue you. Is that correct? And what year was that?

    I'm then assuming that as you didn't have any means of supporting them, that you claimed benefits. Meanwhile, your eldest daughter, who is now 20, remained in Spain with her Spanish boyfriend and eventually had 2 children.

    Because the boyfriend had only worked cash-in-hand jobs, and therefore hadn't paid taxes, when the work dried up they couldn't claim Spanish benefits, so came to the UK a couple of months ago, and have been living with you since then. Have I understood that correctly?

    I certainly can understand you wanting the family with you, rather than on the streets in Spain, but when my son and his wife from the US came here, I had to produce a letter that I would support them until they had employment. Which is what I did. They both found work in 2 weeks. Not ideal jobs, but sufficient to pay for the basics, and I helped with the "frills".

    Has your daughter's partner actually looked for work?

    xx
    Yes thats correct my husband left in 2009 i tried to survive for 2 yrs then my sister turned up in 2011.
    My daughters partner has applied for work in a bed factory and a night shift shelf stacking in tescos. His english is not good. As i am writing this my daughter is giving him lessons. He understands more than he can speak.

    Can you not see what cheeses people off?

    Your daughter is part of a family of four.
    Three out of the four are Spanish.

    Why is the UK expected to support them when Spain will not?

    Or do you think that all foreign nationals should be entitled to housing and benefits if they can manage to get to this country?
