But a lot of the immigrants in the UK are there for purely financial reasons. The biggest problem of course, is that a lot of these immigrants travel across several countries to reach us.....
Is that because of our overly generous welfare system?

You know, people say pretty much the same thing here in Sweden, I wonder whose welfare system qualifies as the most "overly generous"?

A' say fuck 'em... Goddam' imm'grants are ruinin' a perfectly good system, an' takin' all our jobs 'way from us. Plus, they ain' good scrappers, an' they smell right awful...

Benefits available to immigrants applying for asylum in the UK (regardless of how they entered the country):

Free housing (sometimes in Bed and Breakfast or a hostel until something more suitable is available)
Clothing allowance
Transport allowance (public transport or if the applicant has a valid driving licence, a grant to buy a used car)
Education allowance (free classes in a range of subjects)
Utilities allowance (contributions to utility bills)
Milk allowance (8 pints of milk free a week)

As well as all the benefits given for money to live on.

Whats available to a single, unemployed mother.

Free housing.
Clothing allowance (school clothes only)
Milk allowance.

And money to live off of (less than offered to an immigrant)



I don&#39;t hate immigrants, I hate the government for allowing this to happen.

A&#39; agree, tot&#39;ly. No goddamn im&#39;grants are gonna live near me though. A&#39; took care a&#39; that.

owww seems like there is a rather large backlash against immigrants recently.

not just here but all my friends, family and fellow workers have all had it with immigrants.

tony blair why dont you try listening to the people for once and do something about this.

Yet another (or possibly not) flame baiter.

If you really feel that way, then you are a dickhead.

If you don&#39;t feel that way but are posting it for effect, you are a dickhead.

Either way, guess what, you are a dickhead.

I would be extremelly surprised if that dickhead lives in Scotland. Or indeed had visited Scotland.

He certainly doesn&#39;t speak the language.
