So how do you feel that skilled people who've left their home country for fear of their lives are now here, not being put to work but instead being forced to live on benefits?
You say you know what workshy are like, you say you know they suppliment their benefit payments through crime, so do you truly believe that if their benefits were stopped they'd happily get low paid jobs and not increase their criminal activities?

No, but on the other hand I wasn't advocating just stopping benefits and letting them have more time to commit their crimes. I was suggesting they be made to work for a living at jobs they definitely wouldn't want in order to force them. I'd also bring back borstal-like institutions to make sure youngsters were put on the straight and narrow like they used to be and no I'm not advocating institutional child-abuse before that's in your next post. The trouble these days is there is no way that society can make these people snap out of it, the police are tied up doing paperwork and have minimal effect these days for fear of being disciplined. The courts don't impose anything like realistic sentences, mainly due tot he fact the prisons are full to bursting. These people know their rights better than their alphabet and can get off with anything, and this government has done nothing to stop it the last 10 years. Instead they've give us more glorified shabby traffic wardens, sorry PCSO's.
You seem to post as someone who thinks they have all the answers, so what is your answer? You like picking other people's opinions/ideas/thoughts apart, what are yours?
