Tax credits- We'll get nowt, Euro SIL and her family do :/

[cherrypieplum]

Just having a quick look at tax credits to see if we'll get anything at all. Fair enough we earn too much and this government are wankers who are stripping the poor so I'd rather it go to someone very needy but what annoys me is my SIL is a resident of EU and therefore can live here and claim here enjoying a much longer maternity leave than I can dream of.

If you can afford to not get tax credits and you'd prefer it went to more needy people than you I really cannot see what your issue is?

Hang on the state pays for weddings? Why did no one tell me this?!

:o

Yes, there are Polish Protocols, Romanian Relief Rights and Netherland Nuptial Grants. Not.

I'm half African, half goat, half plasma, I get more benefits than any of you and I have a free tracksuit, and bag of pre cut pineapple.
So there.

Oh, and I'm getting a free wedding next week to whoever I want, it ses so on the letter n everyfink.

do tell me more about this super long maternity leave I can get BTW, like the euro numpty I am I just got normal MA last time, is there as secret euro MA I can claim this time? goodie! tell me how do I claim it?

The computer I am typing this on came free with my second benefit baby.

i've been on maternity leave since 1895

EU citizens are entitles to some benefits in UK (reciprocal arrangements, UK citizens can claim elsewhere in EU).

If she is getting maternity pay beyond UK statutory provision, that is because she has a more generous employer. Any of us could have that good luck (though most of is don't),

Sadly I got no benefits, being British. But I had a cunning plan. I emigrated to another EU country. 1 more year to go till I can claim citizenship here. Once I get my forrin passport I'm coming back and I fully expect my goat to be ready and waiting on the quay in Harwich.

well - my DCs great grandfather was Polish - so they are entitled to EVERYTHING|!! goats, tvs, maty leave, weddings - the whole kit and Caboodle!!! HURRAH!

Yeah Softly, did you not know about the Massive Fuck Off Wedding Grant from the Social Fund? Ring 'em up and ask for form SF423GIMME. Just remember to tell them that you're one of them forrins.

I never understand why people are jealous of those who earn less than them and therefore need tax credits. If you want to earn less simply give half your earnings away. I'll have em. Problem solved.

I do actually work hard and the reason I get some tax credits is because I am paid such a fucking pittance for what I do.

Damn the eu residents of this country, Especially all those who work their weight in jobs people of this country would not do, and all those who work as doctore, nurses, dentists, and pharmacians. Lets also hare all those who earn 6 figures salaries working in the city, because their taxes are supporting our benefit system.

And hope for me to get a better keyboard.

Thank you

Pedigree you need to fill out form BLLX101-WANTAPUTER for a new keyboard.

When all the British pensioners living in Spain get kicked out and come home and start using the NHS again that will also cost a bit.

Or is the removal of "millions of EU residents" supposed to be unilateral ?

BTW I'm also living abroad (France) and the benefits Britishers living here can claim are more generous than those on offer to the French in Britain. There have been some complaints recently here about Brits coming over and abusing the French welfare state.

(This is addressed to the poster who made the comment about the relevance of the EUness, not the OP).

Lots of people living in Spain who are returning and will return to the UK will find that they are NOT entitled to free NHS ongoing health care.

I await Cameron and Lansley's statement with interest.

Was that your first class at uni, Unmember?

Nah, first uni class was Basic Goat Maintenance And SkyPlus Programming.

Why don't you pop off to another EU country with recriprocal benefits, for a while? Maybe that'll cheer you up. Then you can be the bl++dy foreigner stealing jobs, getting benefits of a tax system. You'll probably have to settle for a lesser paid or partime job to qualify but sure you won't mind...
