How would you react ?

[Brian Carragher]

What I object to is so called assylum seekers living the high life whilst old folks are left with no services.

 

I'm quite interested in this, what are the services denied to the old folk and which old folk where,by asylum seekers living the high life

Is it the method of payment you object to, the wait whilst the vouchers were scanned ,or the fact that vouchers were used in the first place. If the same people had paid with real folding paper money are you saying that , that would have been alright and not worthy of comment

 

Couple of years ago, the mum-in-law had a couple of 'dudes' checkout infront with a couple of apples.

they handed over a food voucher and were givern change in the form of cash. Straight back into the

store they went to collect a bottle of Scotch.

(Think this is the reason the vouchers are in small ammounts now)

The inlaws were site foreman & theatre nurse all there working lives, they get taxed on their pension's.

Too say they were/are puzzled is an understatement

Brian, you know perfectly well that no local authority report is ever going to state that services for the elderly have been limited by the financial limitations placed on the authority by having to provide housing and support for illegal immigrants - not because it isn't true, but because it is.

[Brian Carragher]

Sorry Ken but I think you've got it wrong

 

Local authority social services money for service provision for elderly service users is ring fenced and that means it can only be used for certain service provision and no other purpose.

 

Money to provide "housing and support for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers" is provide by the Home Office and is from a different scource and is not related to the total council spend and is disregarded in any financial budgets that the council sets.

Any money that the local authority spends in relation to the above can and is claimed back by them from the Home Office

Change should not be given from voucher payments, which is why they come in a range of small denominations:

Who's the question directed at and what is it in relation to?

[n4lly]

Davyr, not being funny, but read the above again.

 

Food voucher, immigrant voucher, call it what you like.... (i know Luncheon Vouchers)

What i was saying is the free load voucher is now in smaller denomination to avoid what

i was trying to say.

 

Sorry not being funny, dont do politics, i just stay at home and

But as they can use the vouchers for anything from a supermarket (not just food and drink), what's to stop them blowing their entire £35 weekly allowance on booze, whatever denominations the vouchers are in?

just today at a carboot sale a chap with a foreign accent (russian??) bought several mobile phones (one costing £80 and one £50 from the same table) in my usual going round 50 times while my mrs finishes the first lap i spotted him buying others as well ,i also noticed a lady doing the same .

later on putting a purchase in the car i spotted them yabbering by their car they put their purchases in the boot (a fine collection).

the questions are i presume he's sending them abroad or selling them here.

if there sold abroad then with his bit and transportation they would be expensive thus their prospective owners must have plenty of money(pop goes the image of hard done by foreigners living on a pittence).

if there sold here why are people paying the inflated prices?

i presume foreigners cannot buy mobile phones hence willing to pay high prices ? so i guess this chap is a smuggler so how does he get the stuff through customs? and does he pay tax being an exporter?

its nothing new i used to buy tellies at the local dead stock sales and make a few quid fixing them and selling them on ,suddenly asians came on the scene and swiftly bought everything at prices my meagre venture couldn't afford and my fag money disapeared overnight.

p.s he wasent using tokens but real money and lots of it

there seems to be a market out there our russian friends buy phones and at another car boot an eastern chap buys electronic goods ,why arnt err "english" people filling this hole
