Freedom of movement across EU member States.

Why ?

Not for me either.

This one's more up-to-date.

Cameron's the one who needs to read it.

By the way, whitewave did whole threads on the EU not so long ago.
You could try looking up what she's already researched, Questiontime.

durhamjen, Freedom of movement in employment. Cameron knows all this but hes playing the little englander card.

Cameron is a Thatcherite free marketeer. He wants Social Europe to ditch their long held social democratic model, and adopt our Anglo-Saxon exploitative free market model, its not going to happen.

durhamjen, I would sooner do my own research thanks!

That's you told DJ

boys can be so touchy can't they?

Okay then, Questiontime. Just make sure you do not click on any of my links or you might be corrupted by my research.
You might find they're difficult to avoid, though.

Is Questiontime more left wing than durhamjen?

Likewise, at least there was a please, but I do not click unknown links without good reason.

This freedom of movement was never intended, originally, to be a freedom to go to another member country just to claim their benefits. It was intended to allow freedom to move between EU countries to work or, possibly, to look for work.

But that's what most of them do, Anya, either that or come as students. Even students these days appear to be unwelcome, having obstacles put in their way.

Then there ought to be a time limit. If they haven't a job to come to or haven't found employment within a given time they should return to their homeland.

I have no objections at all to people coming here and 'taking our jobs' (good luck to them) but I really have issues with those who only come because our benefit system suits them. Just as I have issues with UK citizens who apparently can't find the work that these EU workers are allegedly stealing!

I can't quite see how anyone can be expected to have a job to come to (as suggested by some politician or other)Wouldn't they need to be in the country for interviews etc? And I thought that what was what the EU was supposed to be about - freedom of movement for work purposes. (Obviously not to just claim benefits) Either we are in, or we are out, I would have thought.

Good for the brain, to do your own research. If you really want to.

Most foreign born people in this country work, and do not claim benefits except for those who are paid less than enough to live on and claim tax credits.

It's not the foreign born workers that are the problem but those employers who exploit them. That includes many of the care workers working in our care homes, and hospital cleaners, etc.

From what I have heard on the news then the borders will have to be closed eventually. Then everything will be much more expensive and the whole movement of goods on trucks and lorries will go into decline.
The borders will have to be policed and evenually the first shots will fall. That and only that, might prevent immigration ( and emmigration)

The ones with valid documents and by that time the Brits will have ID cards, will spend more and more time in queues at borders.
We will then look back on the last 20 years as the Good Old Days.

jingl apparently 60% of EU migrants do have a job to come to.

You go for an interview, or have a telephone/skype interview.

Or else you are a relative or friend who has been recommended, so have a job definitely lined up.

Or have been intervied by the company in this country for a job in another[sorry for thinking of further things after I have posted]

I do that all the time S2B
