Original Note:
This is clearly nonsense. The TOTAL annual benefits spend in the UK is £265Bn, (over half of which is pensions). To claim £500Bn is spent on immigrants on benefits is beyond ludicrous. https://www.statista.com/statistics/283954/benefit-expenditure-in-the-uk/#:~:text=Government%20expenditure%20on%20benefits%20in%20the%20UK%201948%2D2023&text=In%202022%2F23%20the%20UK,expenditure%20was%20234.2%20billion%20pounds.
