The government is to reduce the amount it pays out to asylum seekers over the age of 25 (whilst increasing the rate it pays to sponging asylum seeking children).
Asylum seekers have their housing and fuel costs paid by the taxpayer (unlike our poor pensioners who have to struggle to afford to heat their homes each winter!)
British pensioners are among the most poverty stricken in Europe, so surely the money would be better spent on ensuring they have a decent standard of living rather than wasting valuable resources on the incessant tide of rubbish flooding into our country from every part of the globe.
The best answer would be to stop asylum payouts completely, then maybe the scroungers could find another country to infest.
