I understand that the powers-that-be want to deter immigrants from thinking that Britain is a 'soft-touch' re welfare/benefits, but surely if we accept people to live and build their lives here, we should not be creating a social underclass by depriving them of a basic standard of living through with-holding in-work benefits. Isn't that a prescription for imposing poverty and encouraging criminal activity? How are they expected to manage?
Do you get emotionally attached to the plants in your garden ?
