I didnt think it was racist but that my understsnding of that. I saw it as they should pay their own way, not claiming benefits and paying into the system.
There is nothing wrong with claiming PIP when you have paid into the system to get it as that's what it's there for! But I understand people's frustration when they need that PIP money to survive and they have to jump through hoops to get it when they genuinely need it! But people that haven't ever worked in the UK still get it! That's not fair!
It was racist though, it was suggesting that if migrants are starved they will go back to war torn countries. That they are the ones here "sting on everything".
Seeking asylum in the U.K. isn't illegal. It becomes illegal when the migrant has went through the immigration process and is denied. Or they somewhat avoid the process all together and live here undocumented, in which case they wouldn't be able to claim anything. They are only then, here illegally.
Im under the impression that they unfortunately cannot work legally until they have been through this process and the reason there is so many migrants and such a backlog is because the tories put a pause on these applications.
Im also under the impression that they cannot just come here to claim benefits and not contribute to society. They get very basic care in these hotels. It's not a luxury and we should never be envious of people fleeing unthinkable circumstances.
Pip is hard enough to get as it is. I doubt there's an influx of migrants getting it handed to them when British born disabled people struggle. But I also don't agree with your statement that people have to have worked before they get disabled or they don't deserve pip? Disability just doesn't work like that unfortunately.
I know chippy has flip flopped so much on the app but I cant help but like him. His lives are chilled and in all honestly the only place I feel I can chat in comments with along with crayons, Millsy and Casey. I hope he has learned his lesson and stops gifting EQ or that opinion of mine will change very quickly again. I've disliked him. liked him, disliked him so many times. Even called him out on here.
