Immigrants should pay extra for services

[Old Greg]

I think we should backdate the tax to those pillaging Vikings, Saxons and Normans. Actually no, hang on .....that means we's all have to pay except the Welsh

Don't worry, the neolithic community will sting the Welsh.

How about charging tourists? In the final hotel bill they might add an extra tax called "Immigration tax: you wanted it, you pay"
Total bill: room 50 pounds + VAT 10 pounds + ImmigrationTax 587 pounds. Please come back again with us.

What about lazy feckless Chavs, should they pay more for claiming the Social?

So you think we should increase their dole to 'tax' them more to claim dole?
Admit it, you're employed by a government think-tank, aren't you. Either that or you're Evan Davis.
