It just get better, how much more of an incentive, get asylum and welcome to benifit heaven, you do not need to work just claim.

Loose and go home with money in ya pocket

You could not make this stuff up.

You could not incentivise it any more than by rewarding those who try and fail.


What a ******* joke.

But not as good as kicking them in the channel and telling them to 'F**k right off you scrounging *******' which I'm guessing would be the VAST majority of peoples preference!!

Don't get me wrong ...... I'd kick the ******* in the channel and let them swim home carrying their Gold Bullion ..... but, we have allowed ourselves to get into the position where we cannot just throw them out and it's a disgrace!!

when the recession hits if this sort of antic carries on there will be riots. apathy rules the roost at the minute because people have their x5 on the drive and a feeling of wealth. when the ****e hits the fan and people are backed into a corner they will come out fighting.

Shocked!

It is a disgrace but what else would you expect from overpaid people who what ever happens to us doesn't effect them, they still get huge salaries, car expenses, houses, payoffs, pensions regardless of what happens to the normal people so why would they be bothered.

this country is such a push over if you are not a national, if you are bad luck you get high taxes and nothing else, all others welcome with open arms, heres some money.

Makes me sick.

Whatever happened to.....'government of the people, by the people, for the people' ? OK, Lincoln wasn't representing us when he said it, but the basic principal is the same. Exactly when does the UK government start representing its people

I wonder how long it will be before this load of prats start to kick us out of our own houses onto the street and move the immigrants into them!

Presumably, they wouldn't want to go. And then the govt have to ensure that "it's safe" to return them plus fight any legal battles along the way.

By the 23000 agreeing to leave, as you say, pop onto any commercially available flight and that's it, they've gone.

<wonders how many times someone could do this without being caught>
