It's about time too but we already have had sabre rattling:

//European employment commissioner Laszlo Andor accused him "hysteria" and said he risked turning Britain into the “nasty country".//

Good, perhaps they will get the message we aer not a soft touch


//Last month European Commission vice president Viviane Reding, said that Mr Cameron was spreading "myths" about a "foreign invasion".//

She has clearly not visited UK Towns and cities, especially mine. Perhaps she would like the alternative: We tell the EU to stick their membership where the sun don't shine!

Looks like a move in the right direction. There's an election next year isn't there? I know, I know, damned if they do .....etc etc.

I'd hate to be thought of as nasty. We should probably go along with everything he wants in order to avoid that.

don;t understand how anyone gets benefits after 3 months of being in the country, let alone this piece of pleasing the crowd, likely won't work, nonsense. I read an article a few weeks back on some British who moved to Germany for work, and how difficult they have found it after losing their jobs to claim benefit, lots more regulation and forms, far tougher or so it seemed.
