Not the point that they may have suffered hardship getting here,it's an assumption they have work hard in their minds also for reason and finally you may apply legally for asylum almost anywhere in europe. They are illegal so therefore against the laws of the land and all should have been returned and told how to apply within the law of this country...but hey ho they might be more a credit than those homegrownfolk spongers so yippee give them more 🙂

My argument was NOT as to whether these men should have the right to stay here.

I was angry that in cases like this the insinuation is clearly made that theses men are nothing but spongers, crossing continents to get here because we are an "easy touch".

Well if £36 a week and a place in a hostel is a life of luxury then let's hear no more from the unemployed receiving twice that amount as well as housing benefit to pay the rent on a proper home!
