£1m of child benefits go to Eastern Europe every month

More than a million pounds a month in child benefit is going to youngsters who live in Eastern Europe, ministers admitted yesterday.

The money is being paid out to 14,000 Eastern European nationals who claim for offspring living in their home countries.

It is the first time the Government has acknowledged that the payments - funded by British taxpayers - are going abroad.

Even larger sums in tax credits for children are thought to be paid to recent migrants from Eastern Europe but ministers insist that total figures are 'not available'....

But benefit claims by Eastern Europeans now swallow £ 125 million a year.

One in six of the new migrants is thought to claim some kind of state benefit.

Knowledge of the benefits system is now widespread among Eastern European workers.

The biggest Polish newspaper in Britain, the Polish Express, last week ran a story headlined Benefit Hunters which claimed:

"The longer we are in Britain, the more rights to social security we are given and the better we are taking advantage of them."

It gave advice on how to claim and described the case of one Polish migrant who was given a two-bedroom house shortly after applying to a housing association, without any need to join a waiting list.

The paper said: "The formalities concerning an application for social security are extremely simple. Do not delay in submitting an application."

**And a prosperous welcome to Blair & Brown's New Cool Britannia to all the East Europeans, oh and yes New Labour will provide the forms for the benefits in all your various assorted forms of barbarous babble. No need to learn English despite the sabre rattling from the PM Gordon Brown.

Oh and for any one who can not speak good English, play dumb and the arseholes who run our NHS will leapfrog you over the queues of waiting natives who have paid into the system all their lives: Migrants and illegals first in Cool Britannia.
