Members of the remain camp just don't seem to realise that most of the migrants coming to this country are used to living conditions far below those in the UK. Workers are going to come here and feel well off sharing a terraced house with 10 others because back 'home', slums are the only option for the low paid workers. They can send money home because they are used to living frugle lives and feel well off when they have a few quid in their pockets and have money to buy basic food. They are used to working long hours because unlike here in the UK, if they don't work they get paid very little if anything at all. Our system is the the catalyst which is fuelling this great divide because while the migrants coming here are better off here than at home, our own unemployed can sit on their arses and watch Jeremy Kyle to their hearts content because apparently, the world owes them a living.

Now ain't that the truth! Unfortunately no politico will touch the issue with a barge pole as it would be political suicide, the tories started making cuts & got severely spanked for their efforts by the public & opposition parties.

Somewhere along the line the public will have to face realities there's never ever something for nothing & as far as I'm concerned if you've not put in you should never get anything out, social support should be merely that, a temporary measure until folks get back on an even keel & not seen as a lifestyle choice as seems to be the case now.

I have been saying this for as long as I have been on here...13 years next month.
A good housekeeper knows that they can only have what can be paid for...if you cannot pay for it then you cannot have it ...simple as.
Getting something on credit is storing up problems for the future...you might think that when dear old aunt Alice dies she will leave you her nest egg...only to find that she has left it all to the cats home...and by then your debt has spiralled.

Benefits should be a hand up, not a hand out. I begrudge paying my taxes to support the workshy.
Having got off my backside for all of my working life(sometimes getting up at stupid o clock to get to work...and walking a goodly part of the way because the buses hadn't started running) I do not see why others cannot do the same.

You might not have the job you want, but any job is better than no job...because it is always easier to find a job when you are in a job.
