My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

I'm not anti-expat. Many go abroad for better prospects. I'm saying 2 things: there is welfare even for off-shore wealth when things go pear-shaped and if they bring their wealth home to support themselves then they'll boost the economy by being here. Either way they're our citizens and they're welcome (i.e. a place to live, plenty to eat and hopefully employment). The prodigal jibe was at the well known standard of life out there. None will be skint
