What do people paying 40% income tax think of this?

Question

The tallest woman in the world (2003) Zainab Bibi (7ft 2in) is happily living in UK on benefits after claiming asylum because she is "too tall" to return home. The Home Office has already granted her a two year visa to remain in the UK.
Miss Bibi prefers to live on benefits and not work. She has in the past used her height to earn money making public appearances. Earlier this year an American icecream company, Baskin-Robbins offered her special promotional work. After 15 days she claimed she was unable to work due to diabetes.
No wonder she loves life in UK and even says "I have diabetes and I can get treatment for free here, unlike in Pakistan, where it is more expensive."
She lives in a council flat with no rent or council tax to pay. Now she even plans to send money back home to her family.

This can only happen in 'potty' Britain.

For those doubting the story or simply interested in the source please see Asian Voice (Sat 21st Oct 2006) page 14, a column called 'All About Us' by Nabanita Sircar. Surprised it is in an Asian paper?
It is true. This is A HINDU PAPER, highlighting an injustice.

Answer 1

I think if people refuse work they are fully capable of doing, they should not receive any more benefits.

Answer 2

Hey Nick it is an unfortunate fact, but Britain once upon a time occupied foreign countries and used the indigenous inhabitants as slaves, traded them and depleted the land of virtually all its natural resources (these are facts from history) and in return when they decided to leave after years of occupation, those they left behind were made British citizens allowing them to come and live in Britain as and when they chose. Most but not all of all settlers in this Country have done so to better their lives from poverty. The issue is the generosity of the system, political correctness and the inability to say no by those in power. There will be several more Zainab Bibi in the future unless.........

Answer 3

I don't know if this is the root of the 'height' problem but she certainly has some NECK on her.

I will have to work until I am 70 to get a state pension and someone is overhere stealing my oxygen, leaching off the state so she can sit on her lazy behind and watch TV on her state paid for large screen TV. I am off to explode...

...I am back now. Can we just give her lead boots and if she is that tall she may be able to keep her head above water as she walks all the way back home. 4k sake.

Answer 4

I'd be happy to pay 50% income tax if I thought it was being spent wisely and not on spongers (whether they are immigrants or not, and regardless of colour or religion).

Kwenzini (Answerer 11), Gazza (Answerer 6) has made a valid point. The BNP will never get into power (because they simply don't have enough candidates to win a majority), but if enough of us vote for them, then the other political parties will have to take notice (are you listening, Mr. Cameron?!).

BriantheP (Answerer 13): "heriditary rulers" is irrelevant, as they don't actually rule anything!

Answer 5

Short of being designated a "racist bigot" I fully agree with your posting.

Successive UK governments have bent over backwards to accommodate all sorts of socail security scroungers migrating to this country. People who have made absolutely no contribution whatsoever to the state.

Its bad enough accommodating migrants from British Commonwealth countries. Countries which the British gov. heavily subsidises financially with tax payers monies.

But when these migrants include persons from non-commonwealth nations then that really takes the biscuit, doesn't it?

Look at those cry death to our way of life,Abu Hamza and others, they have lived like parasites on us for decades.

Answer 6

Damned right. Day light robbery. It doesn't pay to get a mortage, work all your life to pay it off, then the state takes it if anything happens to you!!! Might as well sponge of the state!!!!! But the most of us are upright citizens and and do fight to get a mortgage and work to keep up with or payments and have too much pride and respect for ourselves to sponge off the state, so our reward is ....... robbery!

Answer 7

This is what liberalism has led to in both England and the U.S.

The liberals are robbing the honest, hard working citizens to encourage blatant dishonesty and legally 'stealing' from others.

They take our money, change our laws, demand minority rights, believe they are entitled to have the government support them and their families, offer nothing, and take everything.

What is worse: the government that allows this, the people who vote for these liberals or the dishonest clods who keep taking and demanding more?

Answer 8

well genetics has paid a horrible twist of fate on this woman,perhaps she should go home and boil some chicken heads in a pot and dance round a fire with bangles hanging from her tall ****,no she won't have to go home to do that she will be able to do it down her local community center,in some pish poor london bourough,anyone can see she is taking the piss mate,apart from the nobs that be..........

Answer 9

Asylum because shes too tall ? That's as insane as here in the States.It seems here that illegal aliens have as many "rights" as legal citizens and they don't have to pay taxes.Its disgusting how people feed off of others isn't it?

Answer 10

If she's working and collecting benefits then she's committing a fraud. She'll lose out eventually.7 foot 2 inches eh? Where's my ladder? Gazza, If you don't want the BNP in power what the f*** are you doing by voting for them?. Are you feeling alright?

Answer 11

Good God! When are you Brits going to wake up and throw off the shackles of socialism and cradle-to-grave welfare? That's the cause of all this. And sociologists are beginning to understand how state welfare induces a population to commit demographic suicide by not reproducing.

Nice system you've got there. Give me free-wheeling capitalism, separation of church and state, and no hereditary rulers any day.
