And despite your bluster about irrelevant issues, there's still no sign of your source of your information.Some chose to see it that way which I actually found to be interesting, I expanded further next time I was on here. It's an instance of a narrow minded view and lack of thought about alternative views.
Sorrybut I might say the same about you. I have highlighted a negative about people arriving but there are other factors such as kids produced will benefit from our education system. Some older arrivals will too. The way people are paid which can include hand outs is how our system works. Living on the dole isn't exactly comfortable especially now. Actually for most it never has been. The humanitarian aspects can't be ignored either. There is a none obvious balance to the whole area. Those that can get jobs will.
Oh
From the OBR
UC and legacy spending was £80.4 billion in 2020-21, up from £64.3 billion in 2019-20. This increase was largely a result of a sharp increase in the UC caseload at the onset of the pandemic, together with the various policy measures in place at the height of the pandemic that temporarily increased the generosity of UC and tax credits. Spending on UC alone was £38.2 billion in 2020-21, up from £18.2 billion in 2019-20. UC spending is forecast to reach £77.8 billion in 2026-27.
The interesting aspect. It can be seen as subsidising employers. Up taxation to pay for it. Or maybe borrow.
I can only assume it was a figure you plucked out of the air.
