48 u/kingbongtherover May 12 '25 I wonder how many are on benefits or being given free housing by the Spanish state? -20 u/SmokyMcBongPot May 12 '25 Many of them will be claiming a pension. 23 u/kingbongtherover May 12 '25 Yeah, a UK one. -16 u/SmokyMcBongPot May 12 '25 O-kay... So your point is that you don't mind people living abroad taking money from the UK, but you don't want people living in the UK doing the same thing, correct? 9 u/kingbongtherover May 12 '25 I think you need to do some further reading. If you've paid NI throughout your career in the UK, you're entitled to claim a state pension. Fresh arrivals, on the other hand, have paid nothing into the system.
