Sorry to say but l said this happening, but members kept saying that l am moaning about governments.

There are loopholes in the benefit system, where people come to this country and sign on and then send money abroad, this cannot be right.

Each government that has run this country can stop this from happening, but nothing is done. A major problem is that to this government, they are making severe cuts to the vulnerable people in the UK, but the blatantly allow this to happen, this is why people come to this country, or are born in this country then send 'our' money abroad and it perfectly legal - well its got to stop.

The government can stop this tomorrow, all they have to do is get a law through parliament to say if you come to this country or are born in this country BUT want to send benefit abroad - you must go through stringent checks, that they actually live in that country. or you have been in this country longer than FIVE years and have an insurance number.
