retep   68 #85 Posted October 16, 2009 That is precisely my point, Taxman. His Missus is ill (which I don't dispute in the slightest) but he can be at two footy games at the same time, and despite her needing 24/7 looking after, he can be off in the woods chasing the bikers.  No respite for MR BENN then, http://www.carers.org/respite-care,59,TP.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Berlin   10 #86 Posted October 16, 2009 Is that what would be called them shooting themselves in the foot, Berlin?  If he did would he claim disability? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

melthebell   864 #90 Posted October 16, 2009 What is so attractive about Britain to Asylum seekers ? Surely the idea of claiming Asylum is to seek it in the first safe country you arrive in ?  Obviously not as these Asylum seekers openly admit     http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1214848/Britain-obsessed-asylum-seekers-let-UK-earliest-convenience-says-Europes-Justice-Commisioner.html  A quote from a 22 year old from Kabul "We are determined to stay as close to the port as possible ,because its the way into England.Nothing will stop us fron getting there.   Now ,correct me if im wrong ,but there are many countrys of safe haven between Afghanistan and the UK ,where they could have claimed Asylum .  Something needs to be done to make Britain less attractive to these people  quality of life. good wages / benefits. other stuff such as nhs etc. we treat people with respect and other commendable attributes.  its not their fault they want to come here, and we shouldnt destroy what makes us great just to stop asylum seekers wanting to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

spindrift   10 #92 Posted October 16, 2009 So, whose fault is it then? Maybe the people arranging for these peoples' original homes to be blown to pieces?  Or the agencies otherwise persecuting them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
