pem123   10 #37 Posted July 9, 2009 I know first hand of many Polish families coming into this country. The father works but the mother doesn't. The father can speak a smattering of English but the mother and children can't. Yes, the father may be decent and hard working, but what drain on the UK resources is his family putting on the system?  Probably significantly less than many British families where no-one goes out to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Pritt Stick   10 #38 Posted July 9, 2009 Your objective in posting this is? I'd hope to slate Mr Griffin who is a complete tit! It beggrs belief his view is not made as a joke, but serious.... Scary in fact, once you've stopped laughing... but, I see no point in the underlying terrorist sympathising sentiments that you kicked off this particular post with!![/QUOTE] Hiya  I'm sorry but I don't understand the bit on bold. Would you expand please - am feeling a bit thick today. Ta muchly.  D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â Yes they can. There's no customs control at Dover, just an office where they hand these immigrants the keys to a 5 bedroom house and a wheelbarrow full of cash! Â Didn't you know?

But what he's not paying for is all the translation services that the Polish are requiring. Documents printed in Polish for them, or translators to help them understand the forms. Special teachers to teach the small classes of Polish kids who can't be in regular classes because they can't understand English. Not to mention his untaxed car.  I have no gripe with anyone coming to this country to work, but I don't see why we should pay out to accommodate them.  Anyway, going back to the OP's question, I must say that I wouldn't have believed Griffin would have said this until I saw it with my own eyes on the news this morning.  How many immigrants come to Europe on boats?
