Should the UK taxpayer be shouldering the burden of 'disability exiles'?
Taking advantage of our health system has never been an acceptable reason for being admitted to the UK as a foreign visitor. However, this article (under 'Wednesday') describes how people from other parts of the Commonwealth move to the UK specifically to avail themselves of our benefits scheme. Can we afford such generosity?http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/expatlife/8479791...

hI Turk,
No we can't and if Sceptic drops in these people are white and ex pats so this is not racist,
No is common sense, they chose to live in Australia so that's where they should seek a remedy to their problems. Did I hear someone say ''but the poor devils can't afford it''?
That's the point neither can we who pay our National insurance within our own economy

There are lots of things the UK does that it can't afford to do:
£600m 'aid' to Pakistan
Incapacity benefit to addicts
Bail out bankrupt EU countries
Attack Libya
These are just a few. Governments are all twisted, corrupt, power-hungry animals that do what the hell they like and stick up 2 fingers to the public. That's why I stopped voting. There's no point.

No of course we shouldn't, what I would like to know, to dearly know is who first sanctioned this madness.
It beggars belief that we in a time of cuts and austerity still do this, why, why do we do these things, who is it who takes it upon themselves to do the Del Monte trick, when he say YES, WHO, for fuks sake's WHO.
WHO WHO WHO.
