In 2004 the Eastern Europeans, whose countries had just joined the EU, flooded into Britain to take our jobs. Lies were told that they were only "doing the jobs that idle Brits refuse to do", while in reality it was often the case that British people had been "laid off" to be replaced by the immigrants (and to those who believe the lie, who do you think did the work before the foreigners came flooding in?) That was all down to the fact that the EU states there should be freedom of movement and employment across all its member states.
So how come some countries could places restrictions upon the Eastern Europeans?
Now, from the beginning of May, the Eastern Europeans will also be able to claim full state benefits, totalling £250 a week (more than a British pensioner is paid by the way!) Again, this can all be laid at the door of the EU, and Britain is powerless to stop it.
So, instead of coming to steal our jobs, the foreigners will be able to come and steal benefits, money the British taxpayer has paid into the system (and in some cases will be told they are not eligible for!)
Immigrants can also take over your home, claim squatters' rights and be awarded Legal Aid to fight their case whilst a British home owner wanting to get his property back will have to find money himself to pay expensive legal fees. Again, this is down to the EU law which allows just about anyone to come and sponge off the British taxpayer.
It is time those blinkered, deranged fools who believe the EU is good for our country opened their eyes and took a good, hard look at the damage which has been done.
