[Dangee]

Best check he UN website then. Maybe they are “wrong” as well.

Thats the official stats for Asylum seekers. Turn of the Gammon blinkers.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53075318 No idea of how many illegals there are makes you gov point a bit irrelevant.

Brexit has cost about 47 years' worth of EU contributions thus far and we haven't left yet. And the moron brexiteers are chanting "no deal, no deal!"

Get Brexit Done lol.

But a pretty misleading figure I'm afraid, £60m in direct benefits maybe, but across the ~35000 asylum applications, that only equates to approx £32 a week.

You have to factor in other things like housing etc.

That's not correct, in that I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of posts about benefit scroungers / fraudsters as well.
(Which incidently are rebuked with "benefit fiddling is so inconsequential as to not be worth considering).

This report provides estimates of fraud and error levels in the benefit system in Great Britain for the financial year 2018 to 2019. ... the net government loss, after recoveries, was £3.0 billion, or 1.6% of benefit expenditure. 1.1% of total benefit expenditure (or £2.0 billion) was underpaid due to fraud and error

the 3 billion is sort of true....but then its offset by 2 billion being underpaid (Im not sure how benefits can be underpaid due to fraud.....unless there are some really thick crims about)

No, the attachment said RWRs were only bothered about 1., whereas I said they're also bothered about 2.
