As Kev would say, “what a load of carp”, Who mentioned THAT particularly family?.

I suggest you come down here, and look at the Mercs, Beemers, and cars of that quality, REGISTERED in their own Country, so they can’t be that hard up, if they can afford that sort of transport.
I wish I could.

You were the one that said they send all the money home, now it’s about bringing their own cars over. I mean, how dare they! Aren’t foreign workers allowed cars then? Your arguments are all over the place and jump from one thing to another without answering anybody’s points.
Immigrants are either sponging off the state or are working and sending the money home. They can’t win can they? And neither will I.
So, to that end, I give in. It’s clear that, as usual Lincoln, you’re using the forum to sound off about immigration and are not the slightest bit interested in discussing it in any sort of logical way.
As they say “I’m out”.

Oh they send money home as well do they? The family in question don’t look like they would have a lot of spare income. They’re all over here anyway!

The vast majority come here to work and therefore they benefit the economy. It’s the indigenous population that is largely responsible for the massive benefits bill.

What does ^ mean?

When you think that Leicester is now an ethnic minority, and Boston Lincs where 1 in 5 is from Europe, then yes, I do believe it affects our economy.

Leicester is an ethnic minority is it? :confused:

You’re right though. It probably does affect our economy but in a good way. All those coming over here, doing jobs the feckless indigenous population won’t do – sounds good to me.

If Leicester and Boston were the whole nation then you might have a point but they aren’t and you don’t.

With what can only be described as impeccable timing, thank you for proving my point for me.
Do you really think immigration is the cause of the nation’s problems?

If she is self employed, as you state, how is she able to get all the benefits she doe’s?. And if working, who is looking after her family whilst she is at work.
I wish I could, “Work they system” as she seems able to do.

I have no idea what her family arrangements are, nor do I care. Maybe the fact that her eldest children are in their teens has something to do with it. I don’t know.
As far benefits are concerned, if you aren’t earning enough the government will help with rent etc. Even my family were entitled to family tax credits until Gorgeous Gideon removed them.

My main concern is the insidious nature of trying to blame immigration for the nation’s ills.

2)No.this was not mentioned, but with 10 kids, I would think it highly unlikely.

Turns out, by the simple task of reading the article, that she is a self-employed cleaner. At least that’s something and probably a great deal more than most are willing to do.

3) They were not starving in latvia, and are you advocating she should get more than 37K, just to make sure they don’t?.

No, I’m not saying that at all. But they should not be allowed to starve. I have no idea if they, as a family, were struggling in Latvia, maybe you have more information than I do.

As BSG-75 says, a slow news day and a story guaranteed to wind-up the Daily Mail/Sun readers.
