........... how ridiculous! Oh well, the EU elections are being held in Britain on 22 May so let the people speak (if they can be bothered to vote) ! It appears from the report that the faster we get out of the EU the better as we are contributing far more than we are getting out of it ...................

Good.

An opportunity to tell them to go and get stuffed.


Can I claim the same level of benefits in say, Romania ?

No, didn't think so.

[joebloggs]

i don't think you can even own property in Romania Graham

well i think they will wait til after mays elections, UKIP are predicted to win a lot more seats, maybe even the majority of the 78 UK seats,

if they did anything now i think UKIP might win all 78 seats and that would send a clear message to Brussels about what the British public think

Why doesn't the UK just say "OK, we will pay benefits to anyone coming here - they will be identical to the benefits they could claim in their original country - whether it be higher or lower". Surely this would be fair and Brussels couldn't say a thing about it?

It's time the stupid British public dragged themselves away from TV soap operas and alcohol abuse, and voted sensibly back home too.
