Re: Blighty and Benefit
Spain states that people (even those with a Spanish passport) have to have worked and paid into Spain for 6 years before they get access to full welfare payments, so perhaps it is time the UK followed suit if their welfare cuts and 'working for welfare' doesn't halt the tide of those entering the UK and immediatley claiming welfare.

The Euro PIIGS are all in trouble, with a few more counties too.

Re: Blighty and Benefit
Before I came to Canada the employer I was working for back at home was basically being forced to take on people from a benefit claimants 'return to work' scheme because it was a public sector organisation.
I wasn't on the interviewing committee but apparently quite a few of the candidates interviewed had been unemployed for 1 year or more and a couple of them even said to the committee in the interview that they were only attending the interview because they were forced by the job centre and they really didn't want to be considered for the role.
That is why the EU economies are failing. European socialism follows the 'give a man a fish' scenario but has just then never really bothered to get the second part with vast numbers of the population.
