Did they get child benefit to send home too? Nah thought not.
Why won't people accept we are taken for mugs?? Is it not namby pamby lefty enuff to accept the obvious reality of some things.
Have you got any reliable figures to back up your assertion?
I did have in mind the colonialists who claimed considerable benefits all over the world.
However:
Emigration in the fifties to Australia for a tenner.
Mass emigration to America from Ireland and Scotland.
They may not have received much but they were the cheap labour of the day.
Conversely, do you have any reliable figures to confirm that there are more immigrants here than other European countries and that emigrating Britons leave because they are running away rather than for work.
True facts about benefits rather than sensationalism.
Or have you all been reading the Daily Mail too much?

But all of these went there to work, not to claim benefits.
And they were there legally, They didn't destroy their passports to avoid being sent home, or enter by clinging to the axle of a lorry.
They had skills that were in great demand. What use are illiterate Eritrean goat herders and Somali peasants to a modern, first world economy? They are just a drain on taxpayers.
Don't forget it's the responsibility of all the EU countries these asylum seekers pass through to offer them asylum. Seems to me that for years these asylum seekers have been encouraged to make their way to Calais and other channel ports (if the media are to be believed) . Makes you wonder if some Eritrean turns up in Rome asking about benefits and is told," Go to Paris and ask there." Then when he gets to Paris is told "Sacre bleu, mak your way to Calais, then get to Briton as fast as you can."
depends on your definition off legally
australia was owned by the aborigines any one else is an uninvited immigrant
the same with america it belongs to the native indians any one else is an immigrant
if you think australia and america are good examples then you should embrace the hard working immigrants coming in to the uk

As asylum seekers are not allowed to work in this country, till their status is considered, and settled, they just can't be called "hard working" immigrants. What do you think they live on , whilst their status is being considered? Oh yeah,, fresh air.

i know pretty much exactly how the asylum system works
they get basic accommodation often old barracks or closed prisons they get a small allowance off around £30 in vouchers as they are not allowed to work
they are very loosely controlled and many abscond saving the government money as the asylum appeal can take several years so someone in the hidden ecconomy can claim nothing from the system but will pay taxes everytime they go shopping
From the Mail, so it must be true.
Example of expats abroad and figures for those claiming benefit in Germany.

Someone resident here might not claim from the system, but they are drawing from it: security, infrastructure, safety, to name but three; all of these have to paid for somehow. Can they not get emergency healthcare, too?
Oh, and as paying a bit of VAT makes it all alright, perhaps I might withdraw from paying income tax, and do it that way instead?
