It is exaggerated the biggest strain on resources let alone money is WASTE.Colour Scientist said:Meaning?Topsider said:You're aware other people can check your post history, right?Sure, people are always going to abuse the system, both nationals and non-nationals.ToastiestZombie said:My argument is that they're putting a strain on our services, which they are. If that wasn't the case, why would benefits tourism even be a thing? It's common sense that so many people in such a small island wil create a strain on everything. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30011512
I just think that the proportion of immigrants coming over to use the benefit system are exaggerated, as is the negative impact it has on society at large.
I don't think the minority who do come over with the intention of mooching the benefit system is enough to justify the negative discourse that frequently surrounds immigration, especially when most people abusing the system are actually native citizens.
From the NHS to the BBC there is soo much waste in the system it's insulting.
