i find it frustrating to hear asylum seekers etc are receiving government benefits to live here for free when the government consistantly tells us year after year how little money there is to go around for hospitals, education, housing etc

OK here's a twist
how come the government provides asylum seekers with a decent house, spending money and pays all their bills as the bills arrive? AND does not allow them to seek employment until they have legal status?? BUT does not deport them when they are found working illegally!

Hear hear! I read in the paper that white British people are being made to donate body parts to asylum seekers. They also don't use the same ambulances as us, but get special gold Rolls Royce ambulances to take them to the private hospitals that the British taxpayer has to fund.
They get over £1000 per week plus an extra £500 for every extra child they have, but to be fair they need this in the 6 bedroom houses that the taxpayer provides them with. Obvously, state schools aren't good enough for them, but luckily the government has paid for extra wings at Harrow and Eton to educate asylum seeking children.
What, you don't believe it?
I bet most of you would if the Sun or the Daily Mail printed it.

Well, would it be fair to refuse treatment to an asylum-seeker who is lawfully here, who may have been tortured, and who anyway has no way of paying for treatment since they are not allowed to work?
Very few asylum-seekers come here for the benefits; £30 a week is not much incentive for someone to leave their country. Most would much rather work to support themselves, and that way they would pay into the system like everyone else.

No it's not. A relative of mine who was hospitalised with a rare infection was told by a doctor it was because of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers coming into the country. He said they were bringing back infections and diseases that we had more or less eradicated years ago. Eg. cases of TB in British people are rising so why should we have to treat the people who brought it back here for free?

Oh dear, what a question, and what a shower of answers!
Are you (nearly all) telling me that if you saw a fellow human laying in the street having a heart attack or a fit or whatever , you would question their right to medical assistance? Because you have paid into the NHS system and maybe they haven't!
I can only repeat again 'oh dear' shame on all of you!!
Let them die in agony??????

i find it more annoying when home grown chavs get benefits and use the nhs having never paid into the system .. low life scum ,... at least asylum seekers want a better way of life ... unlike chavs who drop sprogs just for more benefits ..

People seeking asylum often have very good reasons for doing so. They may be fleeing a state where they'd be persecuted or even killed. Though I suppose you could argue that they should be thankful to be here, even if they recieved no aid while here.

here here!
although it's pointless saying anything to some people about this subject as the Establishment think if we feel like you do, we're denying people, their god-given right to USE the system that we & generations of our families, HAVE paid into.
we have to be charitable & forget that the NHS, housing, etc, etc etc CAN'T COPE.
the Government would prefer us to forget that!
