    Brexit has really worked out badly. Tubby Johnson ruined this country.

    It's crazy how Donny De Trump ran in two elections with promises to publish a list that never existed!

    Make Americans greet again!

    The Tories have wrecked our birthright. Margaret Thatcher began dismantling the postwar world our grandparents fought for; the world wheree we looked after each other, was replaced by "every man for himself, and **** the stragglers". Blair's Labour-lite did little to reverse the damage, but at least they got the NHS off it's arse, put some money into education, and addressed the scourge of homelessness. Sticking plaster on a wound, really. Then in 2010 the hateful greedy Tory scum got back in and completed the job. None of this had anything to do with immigration, but immigrants do give the stupid people someone other than the Tories to blame for the state of the place.

    So, countless migrants contributing very little but taking much are not to blame for the constipated hospitals, schools, prisons, housing, welfare state?

    The thousands of young professionals crossing the Channel are not costing us billions and are, in fact, key to economic prosperity?

    It's all an illusion created to shift the blame from the Tories, eh?

    Well, I never!

    ...embrace it headlong to actual misery. For everyone. Won't matter if you were born here or immigrated here. Everyone.

    There is an event horizon approaching where our broken system will disintegrate under its own duress.

    Then what? Rainbows and Unicorns won't save anybody.

    So is it by design, or are the government and Home Office incompetent?

    It's all because of Bwexit.
    Funny how the same has happened to Ireland, Sweden, France, Germany and just about every country that is in the EU.

    According to one source, Congolese are the must likely migrants to claim Universal Credit.

    This can't be right, though. Someone who knows about this stuff said migrants can't claim benefits.

    Moreover, why would any government allow people in who can't support themselves?

    No, this smells like more Tory bullshit. They do this to create a smokescreen that covers up their myriad failings.

    You switch between migrants and asylum seekers constantly. Make your mind up.

    You can't claim benefits on a visa or if you're here making a claim for asylum. People that have Indefinite Leave to Remain can, but the process takes years.

    Once you have settled status you're allowed to claim benefits. Can't be arsed to google it but I think it's 10 years of residency nowadays. Asylum seekers with successful claims can, but you don't get benefits when you turn up in a boat.

    I never write 'asylum seeker' - only 'migrant'. I'm utterly consistent with this.

    I have no issue with those genuinely seeking asylum, particularly women and children.

    The boat people don't need to claim benefits, seeing as it is all laid out on a plate for them.

    Let's face it, once you are here, you are pretty much guaranteed to stay, even if you have nothing to offer. I ask, what is the point in importing people to join the dole queue?

    And yet there are mug taxpayers happy to fund this chaos and blatant poncery. The mind boggles.

    My long time fuddy (****-buddy) has spent her life working in North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) mainly dealing with benefits claimants.

    It is true, certainly in NLC, (im)migrants claim benefits they are unnaturally capable (schooled?) in exactly how to claim.

    This is naturally highly annoying to NLC employees because their own salary is often less than the sum of the freebies given out to persons who contribute the sum of **** all.

    **** the economics of it all. Rainbows. Unicorns.

    Nah, I'm not having that. Sorry, G.

    According to my source, migrants can't claim benefits. Anything to the contrary is a Tory illusion, the scamps. The verisimilitude of this illusion had me thinking all manner of wrongs. I'm glad to be corrected.

    I'm sticking with my source.

    Source.

    Entirely your right, and you are welcome to it.

    (Can me and fuddy come live with you abroad? Folly supplied.)
