Benefits
THE BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONERS TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £6,000.... .
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS /REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN TOTAL YEARLY BENEFITS £29,900... Makes you sick that the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country for the last 40 - 60 years.... SAD ISN'T IT..... I am among the £6000 a year brigade! |

I have seen this statement going around for a while, but where do these figures come from, is there any evidence to suggest they are anything other than made up to provoke racist / xenophobic sentiments? If you read it carefully and think about it, it doesn't even make sense. It's a con trick don't fall for it!

A quick google search of "illegal immigrant 29900 6000" brings up this note issued by the House of Commons library: http://www.parliament.uk/briefingpap...snsp-05621.pdf
It states that these same figures have been circulating since 2007 and the original emails were aimed at Australians (and maybe Canadians before that). If you're going to hate someone - best to make it a rational hate based on facts rather than BS ! |

The email alleges that “if you cross the British border illegally you get a job, a driver’s license, pension card, welfare, credit cards, subsidised rent or a loan to buy a house, free education and free healthcare.” It also suggests that “illegal immigrants/refugees living in Britain” are entitled to financial assistance worth up to £29,900 per year, in contrast to pensioners who, it says, receive only £6,000 a year in benefit.The email contains text from a protest email which has been circulating in Australia for some time now, but which may have originated in Canada. Versions also circulate in the United States, and elements even appear in protest emails as far afield as India. The UK version has been adapted, somewhat crudely, for a domestic audience by someone or some organisation unknown. The figures quoted bear no relation whatsoever to the situation in the United Kingdom. as i said earlier it is nonsense |

On an aside, I'll happily admit I am have been very wary of some foreign cultures, 100% due to ignorance of them. However I had my first ever visit to a Mosque a couple of weeks ago. It was a Turkish Muslim one. I understand they are quite liberal. It was fascinating (not that anyone could persuade me to follow any religion ) Highly recommended |
