    My solution is make them work for benefits and make benefits insufficient to afford Sky etc.

    we might even halve the benefit bill this way.

    They have no incentive to retrain or look for work as DA says make them.


    Looking at those figures they have about £150 = £200 a week non essential expenditure. 200 B&H £65 , Booze 24 cans of Stella £24 , Sky £15, Mobile £32 (we as a family of 4 go through less than £20 a month), Entertainment and £90 of undisclosed considering as they are on benefits they get reduced school meals and trip costs looks suspect. So £10,000 less is not a struggle. ...
    Blah, blah, blah - Give it up, you're wasting your breath.

    The plain fact is that successive governments have let in millions of immigrants, to do the work cheaper and garner their votes (the main reason no doubt). The inevitable result is mllions of indigenous people on benefits, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

      Another good reason to leave the EU and become part of an Europe free trade region.

        Give a man a fish and he can feed himself for the day.
        Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself for life.
        Some people are content to be just given fish & have no interest in learning to fish.
        Their offspring become the same; dependent on being given fish.
        What happens when they are not given fish?
        They then want to learn how to fish.
        The less you do, the less you want to do.
        Here endeth the lesson.
        Clarity is everything

                  Whilst there's no doubt been corrupt practices in illegal immigrant work squads, I think this is utter tulip.

                  Its more an attitude of "I'm not lowering myself to do that job" which others will happily do for a reasonable minimum wage - that its showhow better to complain that there's no suitable high paying jobs for people with no skills than taking an unskilled job.
