    You can thank many of the recent documentaries on benefits and immigration for the recent votes I believe. They have highlighted huge loop holes in the system and people are sick of the cost of living going up and having to support spongers and people who arrive in the UK simply to milk the benefits system. It is a protest vote and the government need to tighten up or we could be stuck with an even bigger problem, UKIP in power. The vast majority of people are not educated enough with politics but will listen to simplified television if it shows something they don't agree with IMO.

    Did anybody see the C4 documentary the other week with the Romanian chap who was claiming over Ł800 a month for his family, nove of which lived in the UK! He is able to claim because of a loophole and I am sorry but people moving to the UK who bring no value like that should be more tightly governed. Its not about racisim, its about protecting the economy and providing a system that works for people who need it. If people move to the UK with the intention of working, then its never a problem IMO. There is also a huge number of UK born citizens who have never worked a day in their lives and are also adding to this problem. UKIP have attractive pledges in this department and the government need to listen now or we could be in big trouble further down the line.
