Rejected petition Change the rules so that incomers can receive benefits from us only if the money is provided to us by the home country.

More details

Foreign and other EU countries are more than happy for their people to come here as economic refugees. If THEY have to fund the welfare benefits to UK levels they will VERY quickly take action to reduce movement of their people to this country. NO INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RECEIVE TAXPAYER FUNDED BENEFITS.
