Gordon is pulling out all the stops in his assault on welfare cheats. That's ok with me, so far as it goes; but , he's pushing his luck when he's pontificating on his favourite subject of British Citizenship, asking migrants from non-white countries, yes non-white countries only, that they should wait a year or more before they can claim benefits; and that they should do voluntary work to show their committment to Britain. Well, I'm all in favour of voluntary work, particular from people who are not actually engaged in anything productive ie the unemployed, the retired, the 16-18 year olds, and even prison/probation population. But expecting newly arrived migrants to our shores, who have enough trouble as it is getting used to our way of life and settling in, to ask them to spend a few hours a week contributing to the good of society is, I think asking a bit too much, before they can even be considered for benefits.
