Housing
You’ll be given somewhere to live if you need it. This could be in a flat, house, hostel or bed and breakfast.

You cannot choose where you live. It’s unlikely you’ll get to live in London or south-east England.

Cash support
You’ll usually get £49.18 for each person in your household. This will help you pay for things you need like food, clothing and toiletries.

Your allowance will be loaded onto a debit card (ASPEN card) each week. You’ll be able to use the card to get cash from a cash machine.

basil b there is still nothing stopping them going back home without D H S knowing.Sign on and come back let one of there family draw there money.

they cant claim anything untill they get a NI number . the only thing they get is £49-18 pw on a payment card for food, clothing and toiletries.

NO THEY DONT , they are in huts awaiting processing .

They get somewhere to live, free food and free use of the NHS,the boat people are ruining the country

Ruining the country?

The `boat people` cost millions, tax and fraud benefit committed by UK citizens costs billions........tell us all again who is ruining the country

If you do not allow these neo-nazis to fan the flames of imagined grievance, how on earth do you expect them to get people, whose interests they totally oppose, to elect them into positions of power.

DominO it's the Tories who have ruined this country

Handsome, is Kier Starmer a tory ??

FACT CHECK

I'm only guessing here cos I don't read Daft mates posts, Its another.

'Is toms pey soop real or is it photo chopped' ??

Tomplum are you another pathetic Tory with nothing positive to say about this corrupt ,lying,self serving pathetic government

let me ask you lot who like to stick the boot into asylum seekers , do you have the same opinion of the ex pats who doss in the costa blanca & throughout spain & the other countries ? .

Whupsy

How are the two groups connected ?

well your not telling me that there,s no illegals there are you .

Surely, it is time that these flimsy boats which are overcrowded with too many people, many of whom apart from paying criminals and not wearing life saving protection were stopped from crossing one of the most dangerous channels in the world which is full of terrible underwater currents and busy shipping lanes on humanitarian grounds.

Riddiculas that the RNLI which consists mainly of civilian volenteers are doing the job of what the full time paid Coastguard and Naval services in other countries are doing to protect their borders.

All the politicians in our Parliament are to blame for this national disgrace irrespective of whatever political party is in power.

i love that the British see them self as EX PATS in Spain and not immigrants

One of my sons is an expat. His German employers have sent him to the US. Had he gone to the US under his own steam he would be an immigrant.

OC theirs only Tories been making decisions for the last 13 years so why are you blaming the other parties

because he hates labour & their supporters .

and peter israel you are indeed "an immigrant" wether your an ex pat or not .

An expatriate is a person who resides outside their country of citizenship. I don't think that, be it of their own volition, or at the behest of an employer, has any bearing upon it.

Expat

Nothing there to contradict what I have posted.

i have know problem being an immigrant i don't see it as negative connotation.... but i am seeing some on here who do have a problem with immigrants and also have family members living overseas... i just hope that they receive a more positive experience were they are then immigrants get in the uk today.....

yes there is & TTS IS ONE OF THEM . you wont get anything other than a negative responce from the likes of him & others on here who think we own the world .

Oooooh

We used to provide jobs and educate people of other countries on how to have a better life, but today they now come to our country and provide the jobs, educate and help us to have the better life while we sit back and enjoy the results of what was acceived in the time of the British Empire!

Barbers shops, convenience stores, takeaways etc and even redundances increasing while what was our production industries like coal, Locomotives, textile, steel, shipbuilding etc are all gone, but now booming in the countries we occupied in the time of good old Queen Victoria!

I don't want to go back down't pit

you,ve never been down,t pit . and who was it that closed those industries down . your beloved thatcher .

Tommy Two Stoke,

Bet I have been down a pit more than you when I visted the National Mining Museum near Wakefield!

revenge eh . a government isnt put there for revenge it,s put there for people to benefit this country . and there was nothing GRADUAL about the shutting down of pits , was there .

Deleted

the closures were coming despite anyone.s opinion by a vindictive leader of the tory party who was prepared to take the miners on from day 1 only to be talked out of in by willie whitelaw which is writted in her memoirs . why was the pit closures started in yorkshire if it was,nt deliberate . and try living without a penny for a year todger , it,s ok standing on a picket line when you dont have to go down the pit with men you have known for years who stabbed you in the back & scabbed . anyway scargill & the rest of us were right wer,nt we tell us how many pits there are now todger ? .

Deleted

More rubbish OC ,I did 90% of my picketing at Kirkless don't remember any non ncb men joining us

he,s probably lying as usual colin .

todger it started as soon as a vindictive leader of the tory party came in with the sole intention of decimating the pits & their workers which thatcher claims in here book . you forget the steel industry she also decimated with her hired henchman ian mcgregor who also was a paid assassin hired for the coal board . i suppose you think that,s not significant ? .

I prefer the term confused brian

Whupsy

I get the feeling that yoo weren't really that keen on Margaret Thatcher.

no but yoo were .

"During the strike, when not at work,I stood on the picket line at the NCB Kirkless Workshops in New Springs,"

Why would you want to do that when at every given opportunity you treat the Labour party, trade unions and Arthur Scargill with disdain?

I have relatives in Nottinghamshire who do still not speak to each other to this day because of the strike. And, they never will. Families have been divided, and the wounds will never heal Some chose to support the NUM and their work mates, some chose to scab.

Have they changed your meducation OC

and it seems that the feathers have been ruffled in thatchers fan club too .

Whupsy

Who has had their feathers ruffled

need you to guess that one .

Why have I got to guess ?

coz i say so .

Whupsy

"coz i say so ."

Thank yoo for your reply Whupsy, and I have studied it with the same intensity as a miner in 1984 who asked Arthur Scargill as to why he had called for an all out strike, without holding a National Ballet, the miner had received exactly the same answer from Arthur Scargill, as I received from you i.e. "coz i say so ."

ballet wots that ? .we had a vote 6 mths before the strike in anticipation of thatchers pit closures & gave our union delegates the power to call a strike if neccessary on our behalf.

I watched that three part documentary last Saturday night, I did not have to have watched those episodes one after another, but the thing gripped me and took me back to 1984, so me head at the moment is full of facts and figures from the strike, but Channel 4 are showing it on normal TV over three weeks, so the second episode is tonight at 9.00pm and the final and third episode is in weeks time, and not everyone on here has the ability to watch TV online, so I don't want to comment on the documentary, until I know that everyone has had an opportunity to see it, that is why I have not spoken about it.

Tonight's episode is about Orgreave, and it's 'nasty' , 'very nasty' at the time the NUM had their own video unit filming everything, because they were sick of the way the main stream media like the BBC were manipulating the news, and showing events from the governments perspective, instead of reporting in it in an 'impartial and unbiased way, which is what the BBC and other news organisations should do, so the NUM internal video unit was filming Orgreave on the miners side, the BBC and other organisations were kept well back from where everything was happening, and I get the impression that the NUM video has not been shown before, but I maybe wrong, and the way they have made it, is that in all three episodes, apart from interviews with the people involved as they are today, and one or two shots of places as they are today, it is all the video from 1984, you are back there, well I was, because 1984 was a warm summer, everyone was dressed the same, whether you were in Yorkshire or Wigan, you were wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and we were all young fellas then.
