The un-acceptable side of new entrant countries coming to the UK [56]
Sunday Times article 25th Feb. 2007 is trying to show up the un-acceptable side of new entrant countries coming to the UK, the figures used are very challengeable...purely because no one really knows!
They estimate the numbers of Polish people who are sleeping rough over in London and paint anecdotal pictures of a few people who have had hard luck, or failed to plan successfully in their new country.
Plus again highlighting that you can't claim any benefits unless you have been in work for 12 consecutive months...and then only for a limited period.
Yes no doubt the will always be a percentage of failures and things not working out as planned but as per their front page on the magazine...they are now hinting that the "welcome" is wearing thin, and that ...enough is enough.
I suspect...as usual this is the standard method by which the UK uses the media to run their monthly scare story to distract and keep our our eyes off just how difficult thing have become for the local tax payers.......in other works sensationalist....bullsh!t...IMHO.!
They don't really highlight just how many people have been working her for the last 2-3 years...very successfully...or indeed the vital pool of money the UK has provided for seasonal/student type workers.............make your own minds up people...don't believe the hype !!!!!!!!!
