25.4.11 Floodgates

The floodgates are about to be opened.  On 1st May, a change in benefit rules for migrants means that nationals from Poland, Hungary and six other countries in eastern Europe will be able to apply for jobseeker's allowance and housing benefit as soon as they set foot in the UK.  This basically means a £250 per person per week handout.

Apparently experts fear millions will flock to Britain.  Well, I'm no fuckin' expert but I agree.  A couple of million extra people on the dole and claiming housing benefit is exactly what this country needs, especially in these harsh economic times.  Two millions migrants could equate to a bill for the UK of 52 x 2,000,000 x £250, so £26 Billion Pounds.

Labour fucked up big time, and its actions were scandalous!  Yet the coalition is doing nothing to sort things out.  So, we are cutting services, shutting libraries, swimming pools and anything else that might save a few quid, and thousands are being made redundant.  Companies are down-sizing or going bust.  Yet, continuing in its long established role of "Biggest Mug In The World", the UK is somehow showing fantastic capability for making things so much worse!  The unemployed will drain resources to the point where workers will be better off leaving the country; working anywhere else will almost certainly mean lower taxes, and a more positive environment.  There's also a fair chance that there will be space, seeing as high numbers will have moved to the UK.  Revenues in terms of tax will be down, what with people leaving the UK in complete despair at the stupidity of government, and with the job losses all over the place.  Thus, there will be a massive swing to even more loafing around.  Britain will be a nation of spongers, scroungers, layabouts, migrants, and opportunists.  I have nothing against migrants - but everything against a system that encourages migration, and rewards limitless numbers of people to move here by handing over millions, even billions of pounds.

If I were destitute and living in Europe, with little hope in life, then I would most certainly travel to the UK and claim my dole and housing benefit.  It's like passing 'Go' on Monopoly.  The blame for this mess lies with the last Labour government.  The fact that the coalition government is now overseeing further degeneration of the country and its finances is worrying.  I am of the opinion that at some time this decade, there will be severe turmoil in Britain.  Discontent at alarmingly high levels will lead to unrest, and a downward spiral.  It is time to opt out.
