Mister Gain 1,759 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Bangladeshis based in Italy have been flying over here to claim housing benefits etc, for a number of years, and costing us millions. One address used in Bow, East London, has been used over 400 times. I wonder how many more similar scams are yet to be unearthed. READ IT HERE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I cant see it making any difference , Europe wants & needs the £ as much as we want to spend it .If Europe were to cause a problem with cross border travel it would hit them a lot harder than it would us ..with the likes of Spain , Italy Greece etc just about holding on the loss of the tourist £ would be a major blow to their economy's .

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I wonder why the 'system' did not pick up on the same address in Bow being used over 400 times, as it appears it was only because the airport staff alerted the old bill about the amount of Bangladeshis arriving at stanstead around the same time, that they decided to investigate.

ChrisJones 7,973 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 When is comes to cheating the system why doesn't anyone focus on the major corporations, and businesses, that hide money offshore to avoid paying the exchequer? Companies like Vodafone, Starbucks, Amazon, and eBay to name but a few. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desertbred 5,490 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Simple there should be a cast in stone law if you have not paid in then you get f**k all out. If you want education, medical treatment you should have paid in for at least 10 years, or you pay the bills yourself .Any benefits and family allowance should be the same or you should have private insurance. no free rides in my world 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Honest question. How many home grown citizens have never paid into the system at all? Yet lived on it's benefits? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
