Come to England, speaking English is not a necessity, integrating into our culture, don’t bother. Getting a job, no need, British people will pay for you to sit at home and do nothing. Commit a crime, don’t panic, you won’t be deported, activist lawyers will be paid for you to try and keep you here at our expense.
We are now shelling out £1 billion a month in benefits to households headed by foreign nationals.
That’s £12 billion a year—twice what it was just three years ago. And while they’re hoovering up handouts, 1.26 million migrants are now on Universal Credit, with over 700,000 not working.
You’d think that’s bad enough—then add the hotel bill. We’re spending £41,000 per migrant per year on hotel accommodation.

That’s nearly £4.7 billion a year, plus £1 million a week on legal aid—paid for by the same British taxpayers now skipping meals, missing rent, or stuck on NHS waiting lists.
And it doesn’t stop there, close to a million people in England can’t speak English properly, and 140,000 can’t speak a word of it. In England! Not Paris. Not Islamabad. England.
The government has built a benefits system where speaking English is optional, work is optional, but claiming taxpayer cash? That’s always available.
This isn’t a safety net—it’s a magnet.
Bev and Ben react to nearly 1.3 million migrants claiming Universal Credit in Britain, branding it 'deeply embarrassing' for the Government
We’re told immigration enriches Britain. Really? Because what I’m seeing is a welfare state stretched to breaking point, school systems overloaded with translators, housing lists clogged, and taxpayers footing a bill they never signed up for.
Now, ministers are patting themselves on the back for raising the English requirement to B2 level—basically A-level standard. Well forgive me if I don’t believe this will solve the problem, just last night I listed a litany of ridiculous job titles that are available to “skilled” migrants abroad.
This isn’t about race. It’s not about hate. It’s about respecting the British taxpayer—the people who built and continue to build this country, fund this country, and frankly, expect some damn standards.
If you come to Britain—you must speak English, get a job, contribute and integrate into our way of life. Why is that so much to ask?
And if you don’t, why should the hardworking taxpayers of this country be expected to fork out for a free house for you, hire you a free lawyer, and at the end of it all provide you with a cushty taxpayer-funded lifestyle.
This is a country, not a refugee camp, nor a holiday park for the world’s useless.
It seems to me that we now have very limited options, and the only one that is going to work is to start deporting people like every other sane minded country around the world.
