    So says you. Apparently her families house was blown away in one of those treacherous typhoons that hit the Philippines so she felt compelled to steal blah blah there's always an opt out clause, true or not but it just stops you throwing in the towel and starting all over again. Her friend walked off with all her savings.....her sons wife walked out leaving four children with her grandmother, the son left to find her never to be heard from again. Its a weird world out there not for the feint hearted employer. Giving ultimatums seems to work as a lot of it is sadly true.

    And why should I tell someone who wants to use my DH part time illegally, their risk, not mine not so? Becoming complicit in this makes you liable as an employer? Why on earth would someone hiring a DH illegally try and involve the employer, that's outrageous.

    No offense, but I do think you are an utter twat
    No - sorry. You got my point wrong: In relation to what many HKG people have this is extremely "GOOD". Because they almost have no other expenses: We pay their accommodation (our helper for example has own room, toilet & shower), they are eating with us, we pay Octopus card etc. I do not talk about that maybe 50% of employers who are mistreating their maids ! I talk about honest & sincere people needing really a helper - it is simply give & take.

    I'd like to vote, but I'd need the option:
    'OP possesses poor interviewing and communication skills and needs to improve them' as an option

One of the biggest issues in the UK is that the general public feel that benefits are too easy to claim for immigrants but the "native" population are losing out as the government makes it harder for them to claim due to a variety of caveats (although there are also plenty of "professional claimants who scrounged off the welfare system their entire lives). If you've ever registered as unemployed in the UK, you'd know exactly how difficult it can be to claim benefits. Nowhere near as simple as your copy and paste implies.
    I take it you're also either not British and/or haven't spent any serious time in the UK and are basing your insights on the Daily Mail.

    So much misinformation in this post that I can't even begin refuting it.

    Actually, apart from the last part about difficult to make a claim, the general population of UK do think it's an easy system. You can refute it, but that's just how the general populace think.
