    I would be happy to pay for welfare for Komodo dragons or any other nice little animals (apart from cats) it's just people I hate.

      The birth rate of immigrants is 3 times higher than that of British born. A significant proportion are from Pakistan and Bangladesh.

      BBC - Mark Easton's UK: Work, benefits and ethnicity

      While those of Indian origin, for instance, get 8% of their income from the state in the form of benefits, state pension and tax credits, those describing their ethnicity as Pakistani or Bangladeshi receive 29% of their income in various forms of state aid.

      White citizens receive 15% of their income from social security, tax credits and the state pension. People of Chinese ethnicity get 10%. Those of mixed ethnicity get 13%, while those from black ethnic groups receive between 17% and 18%.

      Yep, thats a prime example of lack of education and not knowing any better SC.

      String me up.
      Thanks, I couldn't be arsed to look it up.

        Skewed by the average age of each group meaning that a higher proportion of the "white" group rely on a pension income which will include a state pension.

        The figures really need to be normalised to only include those people of working age to show any real meaning.

          Did Baroness Flather mentioned her statement is based on the study in below link..?? If not she might look like pointing those 2 communities only, though she looks to have a fair point.

              Simple to solve: limit benefits for all families to the first 2 or 3 children. After that, more kids != more benefits

                We should ensure the 3rd and subsequent children get priority passes to the Alien hunting grounds.

                  Disagree. Limit should be based on the family circumstances when they signed on for benefits. It would be unfair to punish a large family that had been paying its way that had fallen on hard times.
                  Put single parents in hostels with crèche facilities.
                  Use child neglect laws to prosecute families that have children that they can not support.
                  This would encourage people who want better houses or a larger family to provide for themselves.
                  There would have to be a minimum time off benefits before reassessing needs.

                  I also think that it should be possible to forcibly move anyone on benefits to cheaper accommodation after a suitable time on benefits.
                  Why should they get to live in up market areas and never consider moving. If I could not pay my way then I would have to sell up and move no matter how strong my ties with the community or where my children went to school.
                  Just saying like.

                  where there's chaos, there's cash !

                  I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

                      I though they were limiting benefits to 25 grand max per household? When is that coming through?

                      My friend is major pissed off as his neighbour is a person, ehhm, 'with a large family' who has never worked since getting here, about 45, got a self cert mortgage and now his 7 kids in a 3 bedroom pay for his reasonable house in a reasonable area.
