Personally if offered a choice between "Cameron's reformed deal" and "Brexit" I'd prefer to choose "neither of the above". Probably won't spoil my ballot though as I do have a clear preference between the two.

What if you're a Polish nurse who applied for a job in the NHS that was advertised in Poland. You move for work and want to bring your child to the UK, but it will take some time. You are entitled to child benefit and it is being used for the benefit of the child, what difference does it make how this nurse chooses to use the benefit to which she is entitled?
I'd rather not a penny of my taxes go to feeding some scabby urchin in Albania while his Mum's over here sucking cock for a living and his Dad's purse dipping old dears on London buses. Thanks.

why don't we send the Polish nurse child benefit and maybe some others while she's applying and waiting on recruitment to complete? seem daft? as daft as just accepting that children abroad are entitled to benefits. it is not much to expect that recipients of benefits or any other welfare payments should be in the country that pay them. this issue points the direction to a EU state with benefits and consequently fiscal policy determined centrally.

Then pay them the Polish rate of benefit , after all it is a lot cheaper there .
On another note why are we paying benefits to people out of work here when they could become nurses and work for a living ? If they do not want to do the jobs stop their benefits .

I think we can be absolutely 100 per cent sure that this is not happening.
No immigrant is comitting crime and also claiming benefits? I think we can be 100% certain some of them are.

I'll buy a CPFC season ticket if Turkey ever joins the EU. It will never happen.

Will Cameron resign if he comes back with nothing ?
We can only hope!

I have not read all the pages, but we may be doing ourselves out of a job if large firms move their main operations or HQ's from us if we leave.
It would only take people to start moving some operations like banking in the city and the likes of American Express, as well as many types of manufacturing for us to have a loss of many skilled high paid jobs. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders says that it employs a UK workforce of more than 700,000 at the moment. Would the likes of Honda, Nissan and Jaguar stay? Most big business wants us to stay in the EU.
A number of businesses have already made clear that they will back the campaign to stay in the EU. A source with knowledge of the bid to get businesses to sign a pro-EU letter told The Telegraph: “Businesses are overwhelmingly on side. We will have at least 80 of the FTSE 100. They will sign a letter.
“They will be a powerful voice. It will allow us to make the argument that people will be better-off if we stay in the EU.”
The world is a huge market, I cannot for one second believe that some multinationals will not move most of their operations out of the UK if we leave. I am in.

The child is Polish. Living in Poland. Therefore it shouldn't be anything to do with us. End of.
As someone that has claimed out of work benefits I'd suggest it was because my 20+ years work in IT didn't qualify me to work as a nurse. I assume you'd be happy for me to treat you ?
