Immigrants
This just sums it all up quite nicely.
Why doesn't the damn government stop them coming into the country in the first place.
Spongers’ guide for UK Poles | The Sun |News
Shaun
A SCROUNGERS’ guide giving tips to Poles on how to cheat their way through Britain was branded an outrage by MPs last night.
The dossier details how to dodge electricity bills, rent flats for free and pay no tax.
It also encourages Poles living in the UK to swindle insurance companies because laws are “too soft”.
The cheats’ charter – published in a Polish magazine – was compiled after researching the most successful scams with Poles already living in Britain.
Cheats have even infiltrated businesses like mobile phone shops so they can advise countrymen on how best to swindle them.
One “expert” dodger said: “Once you’ve cheated the Communist government and the Iron Curtain and the Soviet states, running rings around British Gas is child’s play.”
The publication of the charter sparked outrage among MPs and anti-immigration campaigners.
Migrationwatch UK chairman Sir Andrew Green said: “It’s appalling that a Polish magazine should encourage corrupt practices. The silver lining is that this strengthens the case for ID cards because then we could stamp out these petty thieves and their scams.
“Those Poles who come here to cheat do no favours to their countrymen who have developed a good reputation in this country. The grave danger is that this could encourage hoards of dishonest Poles to arrive here.”
Stephen Williams, Liberal Democrat MP for Bristol West, said: “This sort of thing completely undermines people’s confidence in the European Union.

“It’s disgraceful that somebody is encouraging people to come here in a free-for-all and sponging off hard-working taxpayers.
“Publishing a spongers’ guide only adds to the tension and racial disharmony between locals and immigrants.
“If they need to come here then they should be paying their way like British people living abroad do – and not cheating our system.”

While I agree with what been said in regards to the Polish, the same applies to every other imagrant here who is just after a free ride,
But to use this as an excuse to try and push ID cards which will do FA to stop this is just plain silly and irresponsible.
