Excellent post.

Somehow i dont think you will get the same handouts as we give to everyone and his Brother who turns up at our shores.

Does anyone actually have data on how generous the British system is compared to other EU countries. Sure, Romania and Poland are likely to be less generous, but compared to the rest?

I mean, it's one thing to say we are a soft touch. To actually back it up is another thing...

It makes interesting reading and is i think comparable to ours .It does however seem to be dependant on contributions through deductions from wages

Ireland is, and always has been, a far more generous proposition for benefit tourists. Especially for those prepared to claim in two (or more) jurisdictions simultaneously.

Here are some interesting stats also (2008) the link through shows that Ireland (with weekly unemplyment benefit at 204 euros) surprisingly didn't even make the top 10.

another idea, allow them to come here, income tax should be 75 percent on foreigners eu or not, entitled to any benefit EVER, see how many we get then !

The immigration judge had initially ruled that it would be a breach of Ibrahim's human rights if he was deported. That decision was upheld on appeal last year and again received the support of the two Court of Appeal judges who rejected the Home Office application to have him deported. The Court of Appeal judges expressed their "greatest sympathy" for Amy's family but said their only task was to decide whether there had been any error of law.

If the United Kingdom was a ship, we would sink - The Country CANNOT take anymore.

Isn't it about time that people realised that enough is enough, or even those two puppets who are running this country finally discover that this island is jammed full of people, and we cannot take anymore.

We cannot cope with the people we have already, how are we going to cope with the people that are coming.

I like how you blame the Conservative and the libs for something that has been going on for years and has been continued by successive Governments, your agenda shows through yet again Arthur. Why did your beloved Labour not deal with this over the last 10 years Arthur go on answer that ????

Cheers for that!

Having lived in one of the top 10 countries, my perception of the UK benefits system is indeed anything but generous. In the Netherlands you're guaranteed a % of your last income (80% for the first, then 60% for the second year, at the time), provided you've worked for at least half a year (IIRC). Having said that, this is unemployment insurance, and the actual dole after your insurance runs out, is not so generous at ~700 Euros per month for a single person household.

Having said that, people are prepared to pay for this system through their taxation. Something I don't see the Brits approving of. Particularly since lower earners are more likely to use the safety net, and the system effectively means that higher earners subsidise lower earners.
