Oh, this is just delicious.
After all the graphs about immigration and benefits. After all the hand picked extracts from articles showing immigrants don't come here for benefits. After all the claptrap about how we can all go anywhere in the EU and take benefits too. After all the xenophobic, racist, bigot calls in response to anyone who suggest such a thing.
You come along and suggest we could cut welfare for immigrants.
Priceless.
Oh.....by the way. RACIST.

Priceless?
To point out that EU rules aren't the problem, and if france can do it so can we?
Perhaps you could highlight where I said we should....:rotfl:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Who mentioned EU rules?
I just found the opportunity, after being branded a racist so many times for suggesting such things, by you, too good to miss.0 -

Hamish debated - and very eloquently if I may say so - the pro's of free movement of labour within the EU and the benefits it brings to our economy. He also went out of his way to explain misuse of our benefits system has nothing to do with adhering to EU rulings, and everything with UK specific legislation and guidelines.
Furthermore, he never branded you a racist, but IIRC he did brand you as ignorant. And rightly so.
Therefore, by the way. IGNORAMUS. 0 -

.
Have you missed the thousands of posts lately complaining that the EU rules encourage benefits tourism?
Surely not.... After all, you started a thread on that very topic.:)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
