If it is the case, can anyone explain or defend it?
I am at a bit of a loss to.

Are WTC still treated as negative tax in the national accounts so that rather than counting as £x tax paid and £y benefit given they are netted out in the tax receipts total?I think....0

Nicu is probably a qualified Rocket scientist making do with a scrap metal job.
At least that is what Hamish will tell us.
Once he gets his 120K a year commission from NASA we will be rolling in income tax receipts.
His kids will all go to Oxford or Cambridge and become neuroscientists or similar.0 -

Doesn't this rather assume that our friend Junkyard Nicu is renting the most expensive house that is available?
I agree that the benefits system is over-generous to the indolent and under-generous to the sick. Stuff like this is just crap really, fodder for the hard of thinking that want to be seduced into quasi-racist nonsense.
Are you a plumber that can't afford a life of luxury? Immigrants innit.
Are your kids struggling at school? Bloody foreigners. Know what I mean?
Missed out on a council house? The darkies get 'em all.
The plural of anecdote is anecdotes not data. If you look at the data, immigrants mostly have a positive impact on the receiving country.
Nothing to do with immigrants in general, just this family.0 -

It means that many people on lower incomes pay NO NET TAX and actually get paid for existing in th UK. That is why we had a 160 Billion annual deficit in 2010 and still have 100 Billion annual deficit in 2014. There have not been enough CUTS. :mad:0 -
I'd have to agree with the UKIP statement, things are coming to a head. People are just totally fed up with spineless lefty thinking that throws money at layabout foreigners and leaves nothing to invest back in the country.
Clearly no-one has the guts to do anything about it apart from Farage and I never thought I'd say that.
Vote like we've always done and we'll get another five years of benefit tourism, queues at French ports and 'anti-radicalism' programmes for returning terrorists where they attend a monthly counselling session have a cup of tea and leave with a little smiley face sticker.
It's about time the UK grew some proper balls that weren't called Ed.0 -
Well, that is the benefit system and it applies to everyone, regardless if from Newcastle or Piatra Neamt.0
