UK, Ireland /
Why can't unemployed Polish people on benefits just leave UK and go home please? [240]
Having read the many post here are my observations.
If these facts are true the benefit system is to blame, I am 60+ now living in Poland on a small private pension (£500 a month)
I could no longer afford to live in England after working all my life then being made redundant the only benefit I received was the "job seekers allowance" of around £60 a week for 6 months.
The 12 months before I left the UK (South Yorkshire) the only work I could find was short term agency work and I was mostly working with Poles (all hard working compared to the Brits.), I speak Polish and have not met these Polish scroungers, but I have met plenty of English scroungers who have never worked a day in their life, abuse the system, and will still receive a pension (Gordon Brown has most of mine!!).
As far as I know it is not that easy to get a council house, in most areas there are long waiting lists.
The UK benefit needs sorting out, there are no benefits for people who have worked all their life, bought a house and have a very small income, I have no problem with people using the system, I only wish I could have got some financial help!!!
Please no rants or name calling I am only stating facts!!!
P.S. Health and losing my job caused my marriage to break up, my wife has the house, I used my redundancy money to pay mortgage etc. luckily I have found a Polish woman who has given me a roof over my head.
