They will then sort her with all the necessary benefits.

Mister H,
Not winding people up.
Have 1st hand experience of this situation where I have helped Polish women in such situations. Councils vary throughout UK. You just have to be in the right town.

Its no use us Brits crying about it.
The system is what it is.
New Labour screwed it up for us Brits.
I do remember when the Tories were in you needed 10 years contributions to qualify. Maybe we will return to such a situation when they get back in.

I see your point about 'translation' services.
Ok, then all literature from councils etc should be in English and only English.
