There is a huge crime wave coming because of all the benefits babies being born to sub-standard "mothers" solely to access the benefits gravy train that comes with it. You can thank the Labour Party and so-called do-gooders for that policy.

Nail, head.

Hoboh, it would be better if you sourced your quotes.

For all we know, you could have just agreed with yourself there.

Apparently, according to a suppressed government document, access to benefits is, overwhelmingly, not the reason for foreigners coming here. Hence why they suppressed it. Have to find a different scapegoat now. I doubt anyone's listening though. I blame those bloody foreigners.

a comment on a story on Mail Online is my bet.

Correct, its because jobs are easier to nick over here than in other places, then comes the benefit bit.

How exactly are jobs easier to nick and how exactly does one nick a job? Who do these jobs belong to? Whoever lives geographically closest? If I move to London for a job am I nicking that job from someone more local than me?

I'm not saying it's right that people are losing out on unskilled jobs to immigrants, but I don't think you can blame immigrants for getting hired. 1) If I had a factory or warehouse I'd be far more likely to hire some eastern european knowing they're are likely to work harder and less likely to pull a sicky. 2) If you are losing out to immigrants for unskilled jobs then that's more of a reflection on the education system and wider society, if not the person themselves for not gaining any skills.

1) If I was elected by the British people into government, I would move hell and earth to shut you down and even if I was so far right I would expect the full support of the Unions.

2) So sod the opportunities for the young to get a foothold on the ladder as all the socialists claim is not happening, we'll just employ the stupid eastern europeans instead and right off the youth.

Indeed, Pru, it was a comment - for all we know Hoboh's - in the BN.

[Hoboh]

Sorry to disappoint Monty, hoboh is hoboh where ever he posts and I do post in the Guardian and from time to time the BN.

Not disappointed, hobes, just stating that it could be you for all we knew. Just as easily it might not be.

A colleague of mine went over Hansard yesterday: Parliament, the Conservatives mostly, Cameron in the majority, uttered the words "Russia must..." with such variations as "Putin must" etc etc, a total of 173 times.
Yeh of course they must Dave. Absolutely. Coz you'll make sure, won't you? Tit.

Not so much publishing that drivel, which is worrying enough to think it classes as news, but in the midst of half the world blowing the other half up and the plane shooting tragedy, more so that in this day and age people rush to read it, oh, and the latest "Here's how I plan to bore you all to death and make another bundle by telling you about my mates shxxxxg my husband" from Katie Price. Pah.....they even make Scotland seem interesting....
