General Discussion
No benefits for migrants for a year.
Nice one Dave. Why didn't the Labour Party do this years ago?
"Scratch the surface of any Briton and you will find a migrant."
PAUL: How about this more balanced article?
PAUL: My point is that sometimes you need to look further than the hysteria being whipped up by the Daily Mail.
OK, good point, which can be said of The Guardian as well.
I think it is a good idea not give handouts too soon. This should deter people from coming here purely for the benefits.
Paul, thanks for the post. Yes I agree with this but i think it's to late. Of course you will be blasted as it come's from the Daily Mail or as some people would call it "The Daily Fail" ..... If benefit's should be given, give them the same benefits that they would get in their own country. Then you would see the difference in migration.
Nice one Dave -shame the mamby pamby sit on the fence Lib dems dont want to back you on this. What are they scared of then, somebody calling them racist.
Tell europe to stuff it because as soon as we get our referendum we wont be in europe anyway
Mrs C the nutter is quite good at what she cuts and pastes, pity she didnt cut and paste the whole article
On clicking the link Mrs C posted I now see where she use's the word "Hysteria". However i wouldn't call her a nutter think that is a little rude but she is misguided to think that all this immigration will have no effect on her in the long term. Just for Mrs C's information we had to pay 5,000 Dollars = 2,000 GBP legal expenses plus 1,500 Dollars = 928 GBP to the UK Border Agency to have my American Wife enter the UK legally. And on her spousal visa and passport it states and stamped:
NOT ENTITLED TO BENEFITS !! NOT ENTITLED TO BENEFITS !! and rightly so as she has never paid into the system. I on the other hand have and contiued to pay my National Insurance for the past 30 years when i was in the USA plus of course i had paid NI from the age of sixteen when i entered the work place in the UK. So I have a genuine voice.
USER4549: I'm not quite sure what I've done to warrant the sobriquet "nutter" that you lent me? I pasted the link to the whole article which, like I wrote, provides a more balanced view of the pros and cons.
Thank you BROOKLYN BRIDGE. I never doubted that you have a genuine voice. We all are entitled to our opinion, as long as temperate language and actions are used.
Mrs C, you have a differing opinion which means you will be labelled as a nutter by some on this forum. You will notice a lot of people don't post on these types of discussions due to the name calling.
Give all the migrants both legal and illegal the bloody lot.
Wait till you want any benefits.It will be a case of you don't qualify.
Don't pay in, don't get out. To many generations of freeloaders who have never worked sucking this country dry. The last thing we need in this country are people coming over and claiming from a benefit system they have Never contributed to.
Have you signed this yet ???

Irony alert!
This is a letter in today's 'i' newspaper:
Well Labour have no intention of giving people a referendum ..but tories are going to.
Lets get out!
politicians tell lies when it suits them, notice how he wont give a referendum now, why, because he wants people like you to vote Tory because hes promised a referendum if he gets in again. Wake up and smell the rat
