    It’s the % of working age people, so anyone over 67 isn’t included in the UK figures, unlike the immigrant figures, so I’m not sure how your second point makes any sense. Pensions are the largest outgoings in welfare costs, so we really do need these eager young immigrants to inject money into the system because UK citizens are absolutely draining it dry.

      Britain’s welfare bill has ballooned, with 23 per cent of the working-age population now in receipt of some form of benefits, figures analysed by The Independent reveal.

      That would include the immigrants as well ?
