Chris Grayling on UK's 370,000+ immigrant benefit claimers (20Jan12)

People dont come to the UK for the weather. Reform the benefit system and NHS, and the flow of sponges will stop. Its as simple as that.

Chris Greyling seems like an excellent minister to me.

[bringbackmydemocracy]

this is all about civil servants refusing to address the mess they have made, it's far easier for them to chase after those of us who pay tax, than to do something constructive about freeloading foreign spongers!

Yet the DWP are targeting British people who are legaly here paid taxes!! yet 2/3 Billion £££ are given to illigal people who are here without any legal basis!

0:050 universal credit in 2013? whats that then?

@REXER1977 Benefits rights for everyone as soon as they enter the country. Funny how Mr.Eurosceptic Cameron hasn't mentioned this. Might be something to do with the fact that it's as a result of some EU directive/legislation, and Cameron's indifference regarding the EU would be clear for all to see.

There should be no benefits or national health service for five years and immigration applications should only be accepted from those living outside the country. Last time I checked this how Canada does things. So we've got 370,000 immigrants claiming benefits whilst the Conservatives unfairly pick on the disabled mercilessly.

@ModerateMartian

Why 5 yrs , theres alot of people who in 1 yr of being in the UK have paid more into the system than people born here. Are they unfairly pickng on the disabled. Doesnt it all depend on how the person endd up disabled? Why should benifits be given to somebody who got drunk & fell off a roof ( using an example). & then brooke thier bk.

Socialism is debt, bankrupcy, thievery and misery. It's the system of parasitic establishment and unproductive bureaucracy feeding on regular people under the guise of "sharing wealth".
