mackem 27,340 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Or the final nail in the coffin? The Government is preparing to take legal action against the European Commission in an effort to halt the rise of "benefit tourism", employment minister Chris Grayling said. Plans are being drawn up in response to moves by Brussels that could allow people from Ukraine and certain North African countries to move to the UK and start claiming benefits. Britain has already been threatened with legal action by the EC because of its imposition of eligibility tests on European Union nationals living in the UK. Now there are fears that millions more people from countries outside the EU could seek benefits in Britain under deals being negotiated by the EC. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Mr Grayling said the Government would "go to the European court and argue that they don't have the right to do this". "We are not going to be rolled over on this, it's a hugely sensitive issue," he said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,340 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 France is a great country,you can breath,lots of affordable gites etc,I spent a chunk of this year in spain,its got problems,I think somewhere further afield for me long term,cant take the shit-pile the politicians are turning this country into,benefit-tourism takes the f*cking biscuit,the idea of my kids growing up in this is seriously a big no-no,imagine 10-15 years down the line?We are not exactly going to be 3'rd world but we sure as hell will have slipped further down the ratings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
