    I’m sure it is fine, for most people. Unless you are the sort of person for whom substance abuse can quickly become a problem.

    My mate got told, in no uncertain terms, he needed to leave Miami. Like, now. Got on a plane to New York that night.

    Will the state of Florida pay for my housing if I was sleeping on the beach homeless in Miami ?

    ... and HMRC are spot on with that ... their numbers have been decimated over the last 30 years ... and before you start spouting off about unions bleating, the vast majority of rank and file HMRC staff are female second incomes and the least militant types you could find ...plain fact ... but when you have a government not particularly keen on closing tax loopholes that might affect their mates and family (yes those family offshore bank accounts Mr Cameron) ... hardly surprising that you are happy to cut their investigative resource <cheers>

    Unlikely. Not sure wtf that has to do with anything. Do you seriously believe the government is handing out freebies to penniless immigrants in the U.K.? There might, just possibly, have been some truth in that 20 years ago, it certainly isn’t the case now.

    It takes a lot of drive, ambition and guts to move countries looking for work. Which is why most immigrants, anywhere in the world, tend to be very hardworking.

    What about your homeless that you step over ?

    Are they not hard working?


    Should we let more in ?

    I think you need to see @monacoger for property in Florida. Great yields I'm hearing.

    Do you think Americas attitude of sink or swim (American Dream) is a country to look at on how to treat human beings?

    I'm just not aware of any countries that would let me live there for free .

    Apparently none of that is going on here either.

    Just wondering why they don't deport foreign homeless.

    They're not sending us their best.

    But some random produced a graph that showed that migrants contribute more to the country than the people who were born here. I pointed out that the figures were dodgy but the discussion went downhill because he started insulting me and mistakenly thought that would mean he'd won the argument.
