No doubt more for our hard pressed NHS and education system let alone housing and drain on the benefits system

but if people are only going some place to earn a few quid, not to put down roots, as people did once, then they will go home when things are better in their home countries, not to mention that much of the money they earn may well be sent home, so how does that effectively benefit Britain as a whole, also no one knows if many were skilled, unskilled, or that they paid tax, insurance. Building sites are still notorious for taking on cheaper labour, and not counting the heads, or they have to abide by rules, and regulations.
Zuehl our country is supporting them by providing social benefits including free schooling and often free NHS. They contribute little to our economy as I would guess that a lot come over to save money to go back home and settle down, spending little as possible in the UK -this fact backed up perhaps by Sharingans somewhat inaccurate post.
“Should we not be thankful that it's not our people waiting to get busses half way across Europe in search of a better life?”
Two things, Sandy:
1. For unskilled or low skilled people there are few better places in the EU than the UK in which to ply your “trade”. So such people are hardly likely to up sticks from the UK and head for Croatia, Poland or for that matter anywhere else.
2. Large numbers of people are indeed leaving the UK. But these are generally skilled or professional people or retired people who are self-sufficient. (This is because most other nations do not accept for settlement people who have nothing to offer their new hosts). Over the last ten years some 350-400,000 people annually have left the UK. It’s probably just as well that they did because during the same period some 550-600,000 people arrived annually for permanent settlement. It is true that some of these incomers may be highly skilled but it is patently obvious that many of them are not. This “exchange” of the population is hidden because the government’s “headline” figures concentrate on net migration.
Opening up our borders to even more people from poorer nations will only exacerbate this problem and place an even greater burden on services which are already struggling to cope.

So half of the poles who came here have left, Shar?
Good show. That just leaves about 325,000 of them still here. Not too bad a problem when we have a serious housing shortage, an education system which, by its own admission, will be about 500,000 places short in the next few years, a health service struggling to cope and (depending whose figures you believe) somewhere between 1.5m and 5m unemployed people already here. Another third of a million is neither here nor there I suppose.
This has nothing do with your insolent description of people who care about these things as “Little Englanders”. It’s to do with not wishing to see this country descend into a fourth rate hell-hole which attracts all the waifs and strays from across the globe.

I agree New Judge cut can't put it as eloquently. I wish people like Shari could take a walk into my city centre and then see what she thinks. We have enough people of our own abusing the benefits system without inviting any more. I could cry when I see what has become of my city and never go there now unless it is absolutely vital.
