So the UK provides a better standard of living?

Centurion

No - an easier standard of eligibility for handouts.

But then so many people also complain that new immigrants are taking all the jobs.

I admit it isn't making a lot of sense so far, but I'm sure someone will clear up the confusion.

So far, we have the UK is f**cked up, yet immigrants are flocking there by any means possible. They are going in order to get the benefits, yet they are simultaneously taking all the jobs. So despite the UK being *****ed up, it is managing to pay benefits to a large new addition to the population and provide them with jobs.

Utopia it may not be but nowhere else is either.

I've just put me fireproof pants on.....so feel safe to say, really quickly, that many people would argue that a lot of english companies would go skint without the immigrants, because the brits won't do a lot of the jobs. They get too much in handouts for doing nothing

running very fast

UK - even the immigrants want to emigrate

We were stopped by customs on the road driving up through France a few weeks back. They said they were checking for drugs, contraband, etc, but also illegal immigrants. They claimed they had to do it (yawn) every now and then because UK government complained that they weren't doing enough to stop them getting out of France! Well, well, why doesn't that surprise me?

Proud of that comment, Yoda would have been.
