Quite some time ago, I wrote to my local M.P. and asked him why we import coal from Germany, when we have plenty of stocks here, proven by some mines being closed because they were not making a profit, only to be purchased by senior management, and re opened, and making a profit.
He replied that we have large deposits of coal, but the abandoned mines were full with water, and it would cost too much to pump them out, repair machinery, Blah, Blah, Blah, and excuses. Do they think we a GREEN, John?.

They should only be entitled to the amount they have previously contributed, certainly with regard to job seekers. Or, perhaps the EU law should be changed so that the country of origin has to pay their benefits.

That’s a brill idea, I just hope we have an M.P. on the forum, that sees this idea, and carries it further.

That would also get around them destroying their documentation as they would need them to claim, well, unless they come from a Country that pays none…

Has the Child allowance loophole been plugged? at one point i believe we were paying Child benefit to migrants for their Children still at home in their Country of origin.

I strongly believe it’s an ongoing benefit, How do they check out, if a claimant in this country has indeed ANY kids back home or not?.Do they send anyone out there to check?, I doubt it.
