What a load of bollix again from you NAGAN.
The vast majority of Eastern Europeans came over here to work not leach.
When we thought we were too good for certain jobs they came to do them. Many with high level qualifications. They paid their taxes like everyone else and thus deserve support when unemplyment looms.
It is through the retention of these people young, smart, hardworking, qualified, people of lower expectations that will help this country raise itself out of recession.
The Eastern Europeans are an easy target for the bitter. Why not target the tens of thousands of people that never worked even when we had full employment? The guys you see hanging around with their other tracksuit buddies in the shopping centres of steps of the court house every week.
I have no problem challenging aspects of the social welfare system. However can we judge people on their contribution to the state up to the time they became unemployed and their willingness to work?
Not on where they are from!
