/// His first stop, after disembarking at Victoria Coach Station, will be a distribution centre for The Big Issue. He plans to register as one of the homeless magazine’s sellers, before finding a pitch on the streets of the capital. ///
/// Under a loophole in EU immigration rules, Big Issue sellers can claim ‘self-employed status’, thereby gaining a National Insurance number and, with it, an instant legal foothold in the British labour market. ///
/// This situation may not last for ever. People want to get into your country before someone decides to padlock the door.’ However, there is nothing to suggest the door into Britain is going to be padlocked any time soon. ///

According to a Romanian Foreign minister its like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. Thats because many of the Romanians who had set their sights on Britain are already here. Also Cameron has vowed to do something about it by December which gives him so little time to put in place the influx due in Jan 2014.
Mr Cameron, as on many issues, talks a good talk.
One of the many benefits of EU membership that we are continually being told we enjoy is that the likes of Mr Rupa, together with his fifteen cousins and estimated one hundred thousand compatriots already here, will have an absolute right to come here from next year. (Quite how those already here have been allowed to stay is one of life’s great mysteries). It is no use moaning or carping about it. Them’s the rules. Prattling on about how their benefits will be restricted or how their access to health care will be curtailed is peeing in the wind. EU rules state that they must not be discriminated against and must be treated in the same way as any other “EU citizen” living here: “…inevitably, the EU immediately warned that restrictions would be unlawful.” says the report.
Still it’s all worthwhile because our membership also means that goods (and I’m thinking particularly of beef products at the moment) can be raised in Ireland, slaughtered in England, shipped to Bulgaria, mixed liberally with horsemeat, shipped to Rotterdam to be made into Lasagne and them ferried over to the UK for sale in Tescos, all without let or hindrance.
The only way out of this mess is for the UK to leave the EU forthwith and forge trading links with nations that are prepared to trade honestly and efficiently (and more importantly, that spend more with us than we do with them). Until then you can look forward to Mr Rupa and his friends selling the Big Issue (and partaking in a number of other activities which you may find less appealing) on a street corner near you.

but we didn't know we were eating their transport, besides which many are already here, the Big Issue is a con as far as i am concerned, it didn't start out that way i am sure, but look into the fact, does it help the homeless in the long term.. The guys who used to sell it round our way are alcoholics, and used the money to get bladdered...
