Speaking to someone earlier who doesn't live too far from Staples.
He said there was 400 caravans housing around 1400 each paying £55 per week rent.
(I am prepared to be corrected on this as I'm directly quoting what I was told)
They pay their taxes and nic but at the end of the year return home and claim tax back!
And of course and child benefits are paid to families abroad.
It's madness
This is an interesting claim, but you are going to having to back up some of the claims with some hard facts otherwise it is simply conjecture.
Let's say we take the 400 caravans and 1400 people as fact, how many immigrants are living legitimately in actual properties in Boston? I'd guess a lot more than 1400. In addition, how do you know they are claiming their tax back and can you post some evidence of that? We have to be very careful in this debate to make decision based on actual facts rather than myths. And there is an awful lot of myth masquerading as fact out there at the moment.
One question I'd like to see answered re immigration by Brexit supporters here or on the national scene is this. If we are to believe that we will "regain control of our borders" and reduce immigration down to the "tens of thousands", why is it that we are currently seeing higher immigration from OUTSIDE the EU than from inside? The figures are as follows:
Annual Net Migration Year ending December 2015
From EU: 184,000
From outside EU: 188,000
And another question the figures throw up is, if we are being over run by migrants which the country doesn't need, why haven't we "taken control of our borders" and completely stopped the flow of non EU migrants?
