They do make a b line for England.But their own governments should be hanging their heads in shame.All the fiddling and corruption that goes on.They should be making their countries a better place to live,then the people wouldn't be so ready to leave.They get too much aid.I wonder what the western world motives are for keeping them so dependant.18-02-2015, 10:29 AM

Many people in work get housing benefit if their wages are not enough after the rent is taken to live on, the amount depends on how much they earn, how much WTC they get and how many children they have (even single people no children can get some).It's a good system in areas where rents are high because it means people who are low wages can live near their work and means richer people are not required to clean their own houses and offices and pour their own coffee and cook.
Unless we had the system all the NMW workers would be living in Lincolnshire and all the coffee shops and restaurants would be self service.
