My view is anyone's welcome as long as they contribute, the free handouts should be linked to what you've put in IE if you've worked for 10 years (number out of the air) and are made redundant you are entitled to your wage for x amount of time while you find new job, that's how the benefit system should work and that includes a lot of so called English too. Anyone is entitled to try and make a better life for themselves and bloody good luck to them for trying regardless of their country of origin what is English anyway born here? parents born here? grandparents where do you draw the line? I have a very good friend who pays more tax in a year than i can earn he's an immigrant and loves the country his religion is not christian/ catholic etc but he still throws a big party every year for his staff to celebrate Christmas. Live and let live you get out what you put in I'm sick of hearing the same old shite they steel our jobs send money home etc i work in other countries and send my money home does that mean i shouldn't live here. I love this country with all my heart even served for it (meant something to me) but I'm sick of all the moaning i even heard an Irishman moaning in Liverpool about all these bloody immigrants

I'm sure we're all guilty of missing a good fry up when abroad once in a while just like I'm sure people from other countries miss their local dishes i for one love some of their local dishes so it's bloody great we can try Mongolian, Indian Chinese Thai etc
