>>>And we don't have the best benefits system in the world.
No but it probably the easiest to fiddle / exploit !
Saw a program a year or so back on C5 I think about "How to get a council house".
A family (husband, wife, 3 kids) arrived in England from an EU country (Romania?). They wanted a council house.
They went to the council offices near Heathrow airport and were told "you cant just come to UK and demand a council house"
They were told it was not likely so the family were then talking about going back home to Romania or whatever.
Then one of the council workers said "We have found you a council house in another city" and the family stood in a circle and did a little dance as they were so happy.
I don't blame them.
Arriving in a country with nothing, offering nothing (he had no job), expecting the children to be schooled, all getting free NHS treatment, probably getting benefits. Are we mad !!!!!
This was just before the Brexit vote and after watching that I decided to vote LEAVE.
I am sick to death of it.
And look at the names of these 4 people arrested for fraud related to Greenfell Tower. Look at the names!

This country (and Europe) is being dragged down and down by our lax (non existent) immigration controls.
Sadly the next "war" in Europe will be between the indigenous populations, and these freeloading immigrants.
Personally I don't care what happens to those immigrants in Italy in the same way I would not care what happened to a person who burgled my house or stabbed one of my family.
