I think I saw the same documentary as you british. There are 40,000 children living abroad but because 1 of their parents are working here they are entitled to claim child benefit from this country. I think this is terrible myself!!

I'm a bit mystified by this. If your children reside with their other parent, only that parent can get benefit for them. I can't see how anyone can get child benefit for children living elsewhere.

Well Annette Dear, if the parent that has the children lives in a country that does not pay benefits, they get ours. Got it now ?
Even Mr Farage understands this !

And even worse, when a business, like Tesco, pretends to be based in BVI or Cayman Islands, they don't have to pay taxes!
The revenue losses through 'legal' tax evasion dwarfs benefits payouts
I'm going to live in South Africa, they don't give benefits to anyone. I'd much rather live locked up in a citadel and fear for my life every time I go out than have to contribute to the unemployed.
