Because technically, the polish soldier would be working in the country just as any other polish worker, and then if injured he'd claim from our benefit system, which is 'claiming what is rightfully ours', just like the Polish workers who are claiming child benefit... which I should add is RIGHTFULLY theirs too.

So would you support a polish soldier then? Or would he be just as much a burden as these other workers?

Like stated its highly unlikely you will find a polish person fighting in the british army unless they were actually born here, as every soldier has to swear an allegience (sp) to the queen. Any lad or lassie fighting for this country would be entitled to whatever is on offer, after all they put their life on the line for us. therefore I would support anyone who has the bottle to do that for me.
The Polish that are claiming child benefit for children that are not resident in this country is NOT RIGHTFULLY THEIRS and are draining resources that could be going to other worthy causes of our own.
