If you do you can grab a house in Aberdeen, but you must be quick.  One just sold after only being on the market for 8 days and the asking price was "Offers Over Two Million Pounds"  Offers over in Scotland means a starting price, this one could have made anything up to three million.

What's that to do with migrants coming here to claim benefits Jacqui?

Sceptical as I am about many things, those immigrant's quotes sound totally made up!

"Britain is like paradise. Friends who have already made it into Britain have told me about the riches you can make there without working.

"I hear the British benefits system is generous. Britain supported our revolution so we will be more than welcome there."

"There is nothing for us in France. I sleep outside. I hear the Government in Britain gives money. I want to go to England. I will be rich. I will receive benefits.

"We have heard about your Alex Ferguson, your Ryan Giggs, your Peter Crouch, your cities of London and Manchester, your hospitality."


Sounds like things a hack without a story would dream up.
