This is a shocking indictment of Benefit Britain

[Bobbisox]

We are in a mess so why is this situation not being addressed?
as I said a couple of weeks ago, we have to be the laughing stock of the Western World





Millions paid to foreign workers

Hundreds of thousands of East Europeans working in Britain are being paid millions in child benefit for families who don't even live here.

In Poland alone, there are an estimated 40,000 children who receive UK child benefit.

The revelation comes as up to three million UK households start losing out on vital payments because of ConDem cuts.

Workers from the European Union pocket the state handouts as EU laws mean people can claim child benefit from the country where they work or from their own government.

So, a Pole with one child back home can receive weekly child benefit from the UK of £20.30 - instead of the allowance in Warsaw that works out at just £3.36.

Employees from eight ex-Eastern Bloc nations - such as Lithuania and Hungary - are cashing in because benefits It beggars in their countries are so low.



EU Law seems to work against us not for us!

I doubt that Helen, America is not within the EU
about the fags, how would they know I didn't smoke and they wern't for me?
and I believe there was something like 800 not 1000s I was going to sell

[Bbbananas]

I just don't get how, or why, people can claim child benefit for children who aren't even in this country. It beggars belief....

[Bobbisox]

I said that on here about the fags, which I would never bring them for anyone ever again, after that. and as far as I was aware they were part of the EU anyway
A British company employee, not sure wat the status quo would be like there Helen

I can't get my head round this either Salla .

Personally I'd rather give money to the hardworking Poles' kids than the British scum who refuse to work, (not including those who are trying to get work)

[Bobbisox]

I did say earlier in this thread..
that lot should be included too craft

No, Bobbi, Longbenton. I'm going back a lot of years now.

It is about time we got out of Europe, tighten our security at our borders and concentrate on looking after number 1, i.e. ourselves. We are being bled dry while our schools, hospitals, jobs, and old folk are being brushed side to pay for the European parasites that are bleeding us dry by holding their hands out and taking from us what should be ours by right as British tax payers. We don't need Europe telling us what to do, we used to be a great nation once, now we are a time bomb waiting to go off and it will happen one day unless things change fast before it it too late.

[Bobbisox]

Well it certainly works to others advantage Monni, sadly, not ours

No one has mentioned the fact that it isn't just the EU , thousands of Asians are able to claim for children that are not living here and in many cases don't even exist. Our authorities are supposed to write to the family for confirmation , who then for a few Rupees can get an official to sign it. We don't even check that the signature is of someone in authority. I was told by an Asian that his friend's was signed by his brother in law.

One things for certain. You don't get illegal immigrants hanging under trucks risking their lives to get into the UK to sample our weather.
