The system should require that you have paid into it to get benefits.(In which case some of our own population would not qualify for benefits)

There should be economic rules for migrants - they must be able to show that they have 1) a job.
2) enough money to sustain them for a period of two years
3) somewhere to live - be that a home that they have found before coming
into the country/or family members who they can live with.
If they cannot show proof of these things then they should not be allowed in.......someone has got to get real pretty soon, or our island is going to sink.
But then implementing such measures would require better skills than this governmemt has(for all its posturing and tinkering at the edges - the benefits system requires radical reform.....and they haven't got the cojones to do it).

Spot on Margaret, I can remember a few years ago, I was in E3 at Queens Park and they brought this elderly Asian gentleman into the next bed, he couldn't speak a word of English. Then the doctor came around his son-in-law was there to act as interpreter, they pulled the curtains round as usual, but you could still hear what was said. The doctor asked how long this man had been in the country, the reply nearly had me falling out of bed. Well, he said, he never wanted to come to Britain until he started being ill, wonderful

Re: Multicultural Britain - A No,No?
According to todays Daily Express (27.3.09) the post-clerk has been told by his employer that his services are no longer required. He is quoted as stating that he will look into opening his own business and ensure that his policy of not serving non-English speaking customers will be applied. Ah well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He can do what he wants when he has his own business, and not employed by someone else to serve the public.
Though if he next decides disabled people take too long buying their stamps, and decides their custom is no longer welcome, they like other groups are protected by law from discrimination.

The difference there, being that if the man had been German then there would be a very good chance that he would not need an interpreter.......he would probably speak English very well as it has been part of the curriculum in school over there for a very long time.
And you tar the members of Accyweb with the racist brush....well pardon me, but isn't that post just a little bit racist...or does the smiley absolve you from that crime?

Perhaps we aren't all racists until a certain amount of alcohol or chemical substances have been consumed?

of course I was making a point in a sarcastic manner..... and you have just proved my point by jumping to the defence of my reference to Germans... I haven't notice you be so quick to defend asians or black people when they get slagged off on here!
