yodigo Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 On one of the threads some were questioning why foreigners s liked the "Run Down UK" so much. No doubt many places are, shockingly and sadly so, but never imply that other countries aren't. Watch this. It may answer your question a bit. In fact, watch the whole series, then you'll get a much fuller answer. This is the Spain they hide from you, in fact they pretty much hide it from themselves. https://www.mitele.es/programas-tv/callejeros/temporada-5/programa-180-40_1006366075970/player/ https://www.cuatro.com/callejeros/Callejeros-Casas-Rotas_0_938700008.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who have come from Spain and got free housing because they were a single mum. If they had had to pay they would have stayed in Madrid.

Money Frugality Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Used to know someone who dealt with asylum and immigration.. The sheer amounts who are coached into passing all the tests for cash, houses etc are ridiculous.. People rocking in to interviews wearing designer & Rolexes sometimes.. A lot of their employees come in, learn the system then switch sides and ‘consult’ in order to get people in to the country.. Nothing they can do because they just tick boxes.. Cost of deportation.. 10-15k per person lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That of course would make things better for genuine refugees as they can't go back home and of course less fakes - easier for genuine refugees to be accepted.

winkie Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Create the policies, get the behaviours........someone on the top of the hill says come and get your box of chocolates, you climb up to get the chocolates, if they say come and get your rotten carrot you decide not worth it making the journey, can get fresher carrots elsewhere.
