Seanus: I think there is some truth to what she said and I say so fairly. However, 99% is FAR too high a figure. I agree that there is probably some basis to what she is saying, but saying such things with nothing to back it up (as a first post) is just stirring up trouble.
Seanus: Many do send their money back home, not circulating it into the British economy but that's their choice. They have earned the money so.... I agree that it is their choice, but where is the benefit to the UK ? (Apart from tax and NI revenue).
Seanus: Quite a few are claiming twice according to certain sources. However, attempting to rip off the benefits system has been a favourite of the Brits for quite a while. Some Polish people are accustomed to scrambling and living in tough conditions. It's understandable that they'd use their cunning ways to get more. I mean, do politicians get such high salaries through being honest????? There are Polish agencies who show Poles their options and how to claim what they are entitled to, yes. That's a standard service, so what? Ripping of the benefits system in the country you were born into is bad enough. Moving to another one to do similar is worse. Having a Polish agency is fair enough, but to have them there to point out the benefits you're entitled to and encourage claiming is a kick in the spuds to the rest of the UK. I don't go to work to pay for foreigners to claim benefits.
Seanus: There is a certain kind of girl that strips and sells her body but they are very much the minority. Every country has such girls unless religions culls that practice. Men pay for a service, so what?? Prostitution is a service industry and the oldest job in the world. It pays more than most jobs too ! As long as it is safe and no one is forced into it, then there is no issue. If you've got it, flaunt it !
Seanus: However, many Poles here are the hard-working type and deserve what little they get. Typecasting a whole nation is the sign of a fool. If that is true, then why are so many reportedly claiming benefits ? The British are always being typecast as being lazy people that don't want to work.
