Nice to see this illegal migrant helping out with our already vast overseas aid, by sending much of his benefit money back to his brother in South Sudan.

/// Mr Said, who has been granted refugee status, said: ‘I’m very happy here. My wife wants to come. I told her I’m liking England and I told her it is safe. I told her you will find safety here in England, assistance and treatment, education and all human rights and all those around you will love you.’ ///

I wouldn't be too sure of that Mr Said.

[ummmm]

What is the final insult?

[Mamyalynne]

Hope he finds a job , says he's searching.

Him being here illegally, after our Navy rescuing him from the perils of the sea.

//Mr Said lives in a single room in a hostel, receiving £115 in benefits a fortnight. He pays £18 rent a week and £15 for a monthly gym membership. The £200 he managed to save in his Barclays bank account he has sent to his brother in South Sudan.//

I don't see how he can be " sending much of his benefit money back to his brother."

[ummmm]

//Said was successful with his asylum application and can remain until 2020//

And so are the hundreds of ex miners who's pit closed down last week.

But it would seem that the likes of you show more concern over illegals such as this, finding a job, than you do our own.

This scrounger has no right to be in this country, he should have lost all rights of a refugee, when he sneaked into this country.

£200 for starters, with more to follow it seems.

The question that must be asked is why send it to his brother instead of his wife?

[Mamyalynne]

I'll rephrase that then - I wish that everyone who is searching for employment at the moment finds a job.

[Mamyalynne]

The likes of me??

How insulting! I am discussing the man in your link , if you want to start a thread about the populace as a whole I'll comment on that.

Hang on - you wrote:

Is that fair?

[ummmm]

No, it's not fair, it's insulting.

[Mamyalynne]

I have been brought up to respect and be polite to my elders but my goodness sometimes it is so damned difficult to do that.

[Zacs-Master]

Would you rather he hadn't been rescued AOG?

[scorpiojo]

£200 saved in how many months?

[sp1814]

AOG

The reason I think your statement is unfair, is that you are assuming something based on two disparate news stories.

Has there been a discussion on AB about the recent pit closures?

Have you raised a question about the closures?

Did anyone respond on the closures saying that they didn't care about the miners?

I did a quick search for 'miners' and can see nothing about them.

Therefore, if you haven't raised the topic, why are you claiming that 'the likes of you' don't care for your own?

It could be argued that you yourself don't really care about the miners either, seeing as you have been completely silent about the subject...up until now.

[sp1814]

By the way AOG, I suggest you drop the use of 'the likes of you'. You may this, but it's quite snarky. It almost invites a descent into name-calling.

[DTCwordfan]

Given AOG's immense talent in Geography, (see his thread on Syria being in Africa), South Sudan is probably a suburb of Sunderland.

[TTG]

Has he been CRB checked? He could have told the authorities anything.

Not in the least insulting saves one from typing.

But it would seem "Those who hold the same view point to such matters as yourself". show more concern over illegals such as this, finding a job, than you do our own.
