Let's talk politics.

Unmanagable? Imagine few 10000s of them in Serba, country that is more poor than Syria.

The Gulf states need to do much more regardless of the money they claim to have contributed to international relief funds. Truth is...they wouldn't tolerate it!

I know, we all know. Even they know, but they wont go there. There they need to resperct autorities. In Germany they get about 300EUR or more for each family member. And they do nothing. Here in Serbia is censure on each step. Electronic and printed media. Here they intruded into military object in Belgrade few days ago, but nobody tells about it. Media all the times propagate their sad stories, I guess they prepare us for the moment when Europe deport most of them over here in Serbia. As we said here, we will mostly chandge the name one day from Srbija to Srbistan. Our ancesters would shame todays politician in Serbia.

In the area I live a one bedroom flat the size of a shoe box can cost £200,000, £800 per month if you rent. How the hell are so-called refugees going to be able to afford housing even if they do find work! Most young people in jobs can't afford to buy housing without help from their parents even for the deposit. Even if they do manage to buy, the interest rates are so low at the moment that when they do eventually rise (which they will because it's reciclar) there's going to be a lot of repossessions and homeless people swanning around.

The so-called refugees will have to be given social housing (more than likely as a priority over others) and will no doubt be reliant on welfare subsidies for their low wage if they do find work. Crazy!

JS benefit UK is only 73 quid, is that right?

I have no idea LLN...but that sounds about right or maybe a bit less.

Shit, when you said apartments were in that range I googled it, I thought it may of been outdated didn't think it would be that low considering, outside the city centre of Dublin apartments are in that range, even houses if you go a bit further out. 188 is the JSA here.

You think £200,000 for a one bed shoe box is cheap? I don't live in a particularly wealthy part of London but if you go more into the city the prices are obscene.

188 is a lot per week...is that £ or Euro's?

[longerlastingnoob]

No sorry, worded that badly, the prices are high, didn't think the JSA would be that low considering.

That's euros.

Just googled some prices myself...one bedroom flat in the new development where Battersea power station is (still South London and not in the city) £2,100,000!

Other end of the scale for 1 bedroom flat is around £80,000...so where I am is pretty average. Ridiculous!
