None of these countries are part of a larger organization by whose rules they have to abide.
The point i was repsonding to was that you asked why tightening up immigration rules would mean leaving the EU.

You are getting ripped off but not by a few poor Romanians, Poles or Bulgarians.
One thing I am sure of is that those who are ripping us all off will not mind one iota that immigrants time and time again immigrants cop the blame instead of them.
a good time for this joke to get another airing
A banker, a Daily Mail reader and an immigrant are sitting at a table sharing 12 biscuits. The banker takes 11 and says to the Daily Mail reader: “Watch out for the immigrant, he wants your biscuit”
with the banker is a politician and a corporate MD and you just about have it.

interesting to hear that some of our euro friends have their wages topped up through benefit additions, apparent loophole currently used by some employers but to be closed by the inland revenue shortly

What does that matter, notwithstanding the fact that the British electorate have not been asked to approve open borders for foreign nationals from EU countries, the rules are wrong because they are not serving to protect the British public from individuals not conducive to the British public good.
Had we had more robust controls we would not have some of the following here........

If you consider that it is OK for these types of crimes happen in the UK solely because of "the rules" then you are a ****ing idiot.
I fail to see the link between these appalling crimes and immigration policy as a whole. I can see the link between these crimes and controlling the movement of criminals. Innocent people should still be allowed to go about their business in the EU. That's all you are advocating isn't it?

It's many other things for example the strain increased migration places on our housing, services such as schools, hospitals and the extra costs to our benefits system, the extra competition it creates for jobs especially in the unskilled sector, and in some cases the integration of people. It is about what is going to happen in the future.
It's not the peoples fault, it is the general imcompetance of our governments that have created the mess.
Tighten the borders make it like Australia like I keep hearing, and these problems would go away.
It doesn't put any particular strain on public services. There is a tonne of data to disprove this that has been widely published. We must knock this myth on the head.
Would there ever be a time when you feel immigration should be restricted ( in terms of numbers ) ??
I have sympathy for your argument, but the British electorate are not asked to approve pretty much anything. We don't want plebiscite/referendums on EVERY major decisions - we elect our MPs to delegate that responsibility and call them to account for the decisions they make.
I'd be interested to know why you feel we need more robust controls on our borders when there are already 26 EU/EFTA countries who seem happy enough to belong to the Schengen area.

Signed up yes, but do you really think there is a joyous consensus now that they are seeing some of the consequences manifest themselves?...... you need to look a bit deeper, there is discontent across many of the 26 at the large influx of itinerant workers from some of the less prosperous regions....even Herr Tub will admit that there are issues.

And what makes you think all the other 26 EU countries follow the rules becuase I bet they don't. The focus is always on the UK being the bad guys.
France, Italy, Spain and other wealthier countries in the EU are just like the UK. There is growing resentment towards the EU and the rules around open borders.
I know this is the Daily Mail but here is one example of why open borders are failing
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...nds-outside-EU-head-UK-passport-loophole.html
Now lets be honest where are these people going to head?
Within an economic and political union? And numbers? Nope.
And that's exactly the salient point. If you don't like it vote UKIP or for an anti EU candidate from the main parties if you have one. I didn't get a referendum on what the Tories are doing to the NHS or what Labour did in Iraq for that matter.
[MENTION=468]somerset[/MENTION] and [MENTION=22389]bashlsdir[/MENTION], do you know what the Schengen area is? How can you possibly NOT follow those rules? It would pretty obvious if those rules weren't being followed. Back in the 90s, I was cycling through France, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium - and in four holidays I wasn't stopped for my passport ONCE. So yes, I'd say they DO follow that particular rule.
My position is that I'm really struggling to see what possible benefits the British man on the street is going to see, from having large numbers of East Europeans flood into our country. I don't mind immigration and see it as a necessity for a vibrant and tolerant society, but it seems to me that for skills we don't need there should be restrictions on the numbers coming in.

I am afraid that the short answer to this is that it won't. People over here still blame immigrants for their woes.

Really ??
In inner London 55% of primary school pupils dont have english as a first language , in outer london the figure is 39%, the figure across the rest of the UK is one in six, do you think the problems this causes put strain on the education authorities involved , do you think that this hinders children who are native english speakers ?
In 2012, a quarter (25.9%) of all births in England and Wales were to mothers born outside the United Kingdom. In London this figure was 57.4%. In the London Boroughs of Newham, Brent, Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea over 70% of births are to mothers born outside the UK.
A Parliamentary answer revealed that in 2011, 64.9% of all births in London were to couples where one or both were born outside the UK, do you really think that the character and identity of this country WONT be changed by this ?
