OH BRITAIN, where did we go wrong ?

We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,?????????

Are you aware of the following?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN Weekly allowance £250

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER Weekly Spouse allowance £25

The British government cannot afford the state pension as it is. I’m 23 now and I fully expect as I get older the state pension will be abolished as it’s unsustainable. The true mess our country is in is staggering, it’s going to be a very long and hard road to recovery.

Where are these figures from?

I'm not saying they're wrong for a second, but there's a lot of variables in there that haven't been addressed at all.

Some of "our own" - who are they by the way? - don't deserve help, we've got some real scum crawling our streets.

Sweeping generalisations will do nobody any good. :?

May be there is hope at the end of the tunnel. China now has the 2nd biggest economy in the world and is on target to overtake the USA in 10 years time and become the worlds biggest. India already has a GDP bigger than the UK and again is on target to overtake the World's 3rd biggest economy Japan in 10 years time.

So my top tip is to start thinking about heading east to look for work and whilst your asylum applications are being considered in Beijing or New Delhi you can live off their generous benefit systems ;)

Take a glance at the bit in bold ;)

I just like to clear up the facts is all, it's never about PROVING someone wrong. If I see something I'm not sure about being reported as fact without a source I think I'm justified in asking for a source, am I not?

Did you see the documentary the other night about China, their rate of grow really is staggering? I have been fascinated by them for years due to their rapid expansion. They are building cities the size of London for fun.

Britain and America are already trading like third world countries and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, the shift in power has already moved and won’t change for a long time. Brazil and Latin America is another area we should watch out for.

People should look closer to home before blaming the immigrants, far too many people have it easy here and live of our benefit system.

That is bollox of the highest order.

If I could be arsed, which I'm not, I think you'd find it is significantly more.

If we take central London for an example, did you see how much rent they were getting paid for them by US? So it is probably more, in a lot of cases.

The figures are probably wrong but the point is perfectly true.

Further whilst no-one can argue with the Government's welfare reforms announced today I was concerned to see that there was no mention of reforming immigrant welfare payments.

The figures are hugely wrong.

In fact if people are given refugee status they will get almost the same benefits as a UK resident. However there are thousands and thousands who do not get refugee status and therefore get 'vouchers' rather than cash often relying on charities or churches for accomodation.

Pople should speak to someone who knows about these things not believe some stupid childish scam email.

Sense at last... although I think people would rather believe a stupid email spam that makes them angry than search for the facts. No wonder Hitler found it easy to manipulate a whole generation - people need to think and look for themselves.

Annis there is no doubt that there are problems in Britain but blaming immigrants is the lazy thing to do. Yes people are angry at the way our country has treated the elderly, the armed forces, schools etc but most reporting about immigrants / refugees is very misleading.

Heres a report about the rights of refugees and the problems that arise:
