zoony, Yes its fair to say there are some differences in Scampi's situation, its just unfortunate that its comes in the same category as the very many that come here solely to ponce off the British taxpayer, and I have always believed that you only deserve to get out what you put in with life, be it a marriage, business, work or whatever, one good thing, its unlikely that Scampi will have brought one of these weird alien cultures, to add to those that have destroyed many of our towns and cities. what I find hard to swallow, is seeing and knowing of people that live alone, ( and no I don't ) that struggle on a daily basis to get by financially, and that could include elderly ex service Vets , but they are slightly outside the criteria for claiming pension credit, while it seems those that can claim are much better off. As for those in other countries being worse off, well being brought up in one of the poorest areas of East London, It was not a bed of roses for my parents/grandparents, they just worked their nuts off to make their/my life better, rather than p**s off somewhere to be taken care of by others.
