Right, so 370,000 of them here claiming the dole and housing benefit.

Discuss.



And another thing, and this is the final straw. I can no longer listen to Radio 4 on the way into work in the car, because some brainless piece of st is broadcasting from his (no doubt taxpayer funded) hovel. His drivel keeps cutting into Radio 4 all the fking way to work.

Listen up you absolute fking pain in the arse.

I WANT TO LISTEN TO RADIO 4, I DO NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR fkING st DRUM AND BASS AND YOU HOOTING INTO THE MICROPHONE LIKE A CRAZED CHIMP.

JUST fk OFF. SERIOSULY. fk OFF.

In my day, I was offeered to DJ on a pirate radio station. I believe it was the 'DTA' at the time who they kept getting trouble from. They only got in trouble when they were broadcasting too close to an official station, or swearing on the microphone.

It may be worth texting into the pirate station to let them know. They won't be intentionally interfering with proper stations.

Text them? I'd rather go round there with some petrol and a box of matches.

Change the system
Stop EU blanket migration
smoke a blunt and calm down.

There we go, no need for the thread to run into 20 pages of adhom, hyperbole and migrant bashing.

A text is easier.

It'll be the DTI and yeah the more "successful" pirates will use some common sense and avoid broadcasting over a legal frequency and avoid the swearing.

I haven't met Soovy in person, but whenever i see Vinnie Jones in that CPR advert, that's the impression i'm getting.

Back to topic, this is somewhat related to the other thread 'too good to use a broom' .. IMO you should be discouraged from taking JSA / unemployment benefits whether you're a recent graduate with a 1st in Media Studies or straight-off Terminal 4. No ifs or buts, you are leeching off the system. Pay your f8g way.

Back on topic. I don't understand these stories. I've known a few people over the years who have come here to work/study and they've been the type who come hell or high water have been at their job as they won't get any benefits and would starve if they didn't work.

How do immigrants actually get handouts?

I'm a bit confused by this too - there are 5 million benefit claimants and this number seems quite small- surely the government should be going after the millions of claimants of incapacitry benefit etc, or is this number a tiny fraction of the real picture of immigrant claimants?

Does this also include immigrants receiving NHS treatment and other benefits not related to being out of work?

87.5? I quite like that...

Cos the system does not check and restrict benefits to UK citizens.

The story is unsurprisingly being spun as immigrants get benefits, whereas in reality an immigrant would need to gain indefinite leave to remain or obtain citizenship to claim benefits.

It's not just migrant arrives, goes to dole office, gets handout. Anyone who thinks that should stick to reading The Sun. Anyone who thinks illegal immigrants get benefits should be fed to the pigs in order to increase the average IQ of the population.

Soov, if it's any consolation I can get radio 4 loud and clear (DAB and FM) and suspect that at times it may well be more irritating than your local, friendly drum 'n' bass hooting radio station, in a political-bias gone mental sort of way.

They have been going after those on incapacity benefit and many are losing it. WRT to immigrants with citizenship/leave to remain claiming benefit talking about 5 or 6% of the total number of claimants.

AFAIK the figures are for all benefits, but not immigrants using the NHS.

A good point well made, SAH!
