Especially if you factor in an upfront cost of building the houses to house them in the first place.
So is the stock in all the Eastern European shops produced in the UK? Or is it shipped in from Eastern Europe.

If I check the Daily Mail there's plenty of examples of benefit scroungers from all backgrounds, so a single example isn't necessarily representative of society as a whole.
32.53 million people in work in this country contribute to millions of benefit claimants on Jobseekers, ESA, Universal Credit and PIP. That's the way the system works.
I don't shop in Eastern European shops - I can't comment on the content. It's quite irrelevant though. Some items will attract VAT, the shopkeeper will pay income tax, employ other people (again, paying tax and national insurance) -all of which are positives. Do you buy entirely British produce? Drive a British manufactured car? Or like everyone else do you buy whatever is cheapest?
