As soon as they're in, claim asylum, get looked after albeit minimal in our eyes its a freebie for them, takes so long to process applications, work cash in hand here and there, fuck around...etc. Or just disappear into the abyss and fuck around in London instead of Ethiopia. Many have established communities/links over here already.

If they have a family, then it's a jackpot for them. Housing and allowances would mean they live better than well off middle class in their own country.

I think many have a distort image of life in Britain as well...they skip France and Spain and Germany to linger on the edge for the UK. Imagine if their wasn't a sea between us.

Funnily enough, when on holiday I sometimes meet Scandinavians and other western euro girls off middle class/ well off  backgrounds who gawk at London and say its their favourite city and are planning to move here

They already have communities and links in the UK so they know that they won't be isolated and lost once they arrive.
They are aware that even in a minimal paying job, they will earn more in a few weeks then they would in a year in their homeland.
When you add services like the NHS and free housing, the UK becomes more and more like a Utopia for them.
Don't blame them for wanting to come to the UK (you would do the same if you were in their position), blame the government for letting them.

And the reason why the government (in particular the Labour government) allow them in is because:
A) Cheap workforce
B) Future voters

because we are the soft touch of Europe

its that simple

[local hero]

The Scandinavians are the real soft touch, don't know why more don't head for there.... The 1st wave if poles we had working with us all fucked off there and moved the families from Poland with them.. Norway/sweeden are real socialist countries

In Norway its almost impossible to be fired from your job, no matter how much you fuck up, they gave to find somthing easier for you to do..

Duh, for the chronicles of the Irish Traveler Fighter and to learn the secret of the corkscrew uppercut. Once that secret is obtained, they can return to their home planet and rule with an iron fist.

there are cost of living issues over there though

[Mawse]

Not as much snow as Sweden , great benefits compared to living in a mud hut and almost no chance of being kicked out once you're there.

You wouldn't think it from how mouthy and ungrateful they act once they're actually in the UK though.

I used to work in Canary Wharf, rented an apartment across the dual carriage way in a block of many new apartments for young professionals....facing us was the opulent canary wharf, but behind us was Poplar....my gf at the time a hot young german girl made the mistake of venturing to Poplar whilst I was at work, can't remember what she was looking for....came back traumatised, guys shouting whore at her, and some pakis thought she was Polish and would mumble "Kurwa" as she walked past and his mates would giggle (kurwa is whore in Polish).

?? All the Poles I know tell me Kurwa means fuck.
