I'll second that last comment. The UK is a wonderplace for spongers thanks to 10 years of Labour goverment. In the old days, people worked for a living, benefits were few and far between, so only the truelly disabled could claim them, and all other able bodied people had a job, even if it was working down a coal mine breathing coal dust.
These days, if you can fill out a form and pretend to be physically or mentally impared in some way, then you get given tons of free cash. I was reading in a newspaper only a couple days ago about a body builder and dance instructor who were raking in £10,00 a year or more in disability benefits by claiming to have bad backs. The number of people found out for doing these kind of cons is rediculous, yet the government doesnt seem to be cracking down all that much.
As far as immigrants go, well, it seems some of you have experienced the reverse- racism that can occur. People & kids are being banned from wearing religious symbols like crucifixs at work & school, yet 'minority faiths' are exempt from such bans. Heck, its now perfectly fine to wear a burkha (head & body scalf that covers everything all bar the eyes) in court and classrooms- one younf girl took her school to court because they wouldnt let her wear a religious garment.

What they dont realise is its a two way street; we must respect their religion & culture and make certain allowances, and they too must respect that the UK is a Christian country and they must learn to integrate into our way of living. The greatest example of stupidity is the St.Georges flag being banned from taxis and homes/ offices incase it offends a non-christain, yet we have to put up with muslim rallies calling for the beheading of christians in Iraq....
I rest my case.
