Amused by £38 a week for refugees

11:00am Wednesday 20th June 2007 in Letters

MY wife and I have just been reading an article by Rachel Hickman.

The statement about £38 to live on we thought was very amusing.

We have a family next door to us and they all have mobiles and Sky TV which they had put in within very few weeks of moving in.

The house was fully furnished with washer/fridge/TV.

We don't think they get a bad deal considering she is again a one-parent family - free rent/electric/gas etc.

As for them saying skilled, they should take into account some of our own chaps who are also skilled and have a degree and still have problems getting a job plus the fact that they (our chaps) speak English.

When you hear most of these people speak it is in their own language.

Do they have something to hide from us?

If they want anything they speak very good English then.
