1.3 Million Foreigners Getting UK Welfare Payments, Majority Are Unemployed

The number of foreigners claiming Universal Credit in Britain in the month of June was 1.26 million people, out of a total 7.9 million claimants, new statistics from the UK Government reveal.

Universal Credit is a welfare payment that was created by the previous Conservative government to replace a plethora of other smaller benefits into one easier to administer handout. Claimants can be unemployed, unable to work, or in very low paid work and receiving a top-up to bring them up to a living wage. Migrants can become eligible for the payment if they have indefinite leave to remain or refugee status and indeed over two per cent of all claimants are refugees of varying classifications.

The statistics are the first time demographic data has been published for Universal Credit and as acknowledged by the BBC, the publication comes following a campaign by now-independent right-wing Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. Last month, Lowe wrote: “It is absolutely mental that we are paying illegal migrants benefits. And we wonder why they keep coming… Stop benefits for foreign nationals, other than those who have contributed for 10+ years, and get these millions of healthy Brits back to work.”

Cut them off- save the money! Where is Margaret Thatcher when you need her? (joke, because she had a testimony of faith in Christ so we know where she is and for those too young to remember she was known for cutting the debt in Britain)

People like her and Reagan (they worked so well together) with spines and brains (and faith in God) are few and far between.
