Migrants who enter the UK shouldn't be able to claim benefits until they have been here for at least three months so say UKIP Leader Nigel Farage. Migrants should enter the UK with a skill and not just enter into the Benefit system.

I think they shouldn't use the UK as the lime light of the world and think we are soft. All Governments have caused this problem. Also it's another UKIP headline.

Mark - do you actually really ever bother reading anything before rushing desperately to post news links on here?

If you had bothered to read the item to which you were drawing our attention you would be aware that Nigel Farrage is saying that there should be no benefits available to migrants until they have been resident for a period of at least five years - a view with which I entirely agree

It is Cameron who has recently rushed through legislation introducing the three month waiting period which in my view is a weak attempt to plug the massive loss of votes to UKIP and goes nowhere near far enough to address the real concerns of the majority of the population Sad
