Hi Simon,one of the many reasons why the UK is the Mecca,for all these refugees,is ,its easier for them to, get benefits,.or .drop off the radar,...or learn the universal language,
In the 70,s when all those Boat people were headed for Europe, the Germans took thousands in,but they did not allow them to just wander where the need took them,The Germans had a strict code of conduct,i.e.these refugees had to learn the German way of life,they had to learn German,they were forbidden to take a job,if it meant a German not having one They did not get benefits thrown at them,unlike here,
Up here in Scotland there has been over the past five years a mass influx of East Europeans, namely Poles,and Czechs,and the benefits they get,beggers belief,
e.g. take one Polish couple, with say 2 children below the age of 16,The children reside in Poland whilst their parents live in Tayside,The husband works in the Farming industry, the wife stays at home,They are allowed to claim child benefit for the two children.even although said,children are in Poland,now that to me, is Nuts,Furthermore if said Pole/Czech decides to bring his/her car over here,They are not law bound to register said car with Swansea,In Tayside last year,there was over £150,000 of unpaid parking tickets,dished out to Polish/Czech nationals and a large percentage of them don,t have car tax and in some cases No insurance,
that is why they all want to come here,.."free housing,medical care,schooling,..there was even an article in the paper recently where itsaid that Tesco,s had foreign nationals working for them,and Tesco,s were paying them to go to night classes in order they learn English,
Britains too soft,
