As I explained a while back to BP in a PM, I've paid thousands of pounds in income tax and NI since I left school and started work, But when I actually NEEDED help from the state in 2000 they refused point blank to help. But if I was an illegal immigrant who has never paid tax or some 16 year old tart who could not keep her legs closed they are entitled to all sorts of assistance. The Welfare State AND the NHS are not fit for purpose.
