It's ok to say it. Whose fault is it then that there is free movement? Edited October 30, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rasmus Jorgensen + 1,169 RJ October 30, 2019 1 minute ago, Rob Plant said: Yes but free movement of people (EU migrants) who have paid no tax EVER have the right to access this free of charge from day 1 FACT! My understanding is that you need to work or otherwise emigrate (for example through marriage) then they are entitled to benefits. And only then. Can you guide to some more info on this? 3 minutes ago, Rob Plant said: Sorry Rasmus, if you had free healthcare for all you could appreciate this point, but you dont, See my above link - we have plenty of problems. And pay out way to many benefits. 4 minutes ago, Rob Plant said: I agree if they pay for their treatment no problem, unfortunately they dont and never have done, so its a massive problem and may explain why so many people in the UK voted for Brexit. I am fairly certain that most EU migrants in the UK are there to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just want a different solution. https://www.humanityinaction.org/knowledge_detail/the-danish-illusion-the-gap-between-principle-and-practice-in-the-danish-welfare-system/?lang=da So I can get on a plane today and have an operation on the Danish "Welfare System" totally free of charge? If so it sounds like Denmark is as screwed as the UK I'd advocate DEXIT to sort it out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally agree with you on this, however it still doesnt address the free healthcare issue. By the way this isnt an EU issue its a UK parliament issue by not sorting it out- idiots the lot of them! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Rob and I can ask the boatloads of people who cross the channel etc with no paperwork and are allowed to stay due to 'asylum' where I believe the first port should legally take them in. You seriously think people come here to work Rasmus?!! I don't. Camps in Normandy like Rob just said. Edited October 30, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is an enforcement issue of the Dublin convention. The EU proposed a solution whereby all legal asylum grantees would be distributed to the member states according to a per capita distribution key. It was nationalists in the European parliament that fougth this... If this proposal was made into law then that would solve a lot of issues. BTW - look at how many asylum seekers there are in Italy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest October 30, 2019 (edited) I see it everyday in articles. Italy overrun, France losing identity, Germany where do I start, how was their election recently and current recession?, UK Brexit Because Italy is even worse doesn't make it any better. It shows you where the EU is heading surely. How do you know they're not EU citizens anyway? They arrive with no paperwork for a start.

Rasmus I have stated on other threads and earlier on this one that it is numerous governments in the UK who have failed to address our borders and subsequently immigration failures. I disagree with DT on this and also that genuine migrants do just want a better standard of living and are prepared to work hard and pay taxes for this. I employ a few dozen and they are far more hard working than English guys as they want to prove a point. The problem lies with the vast amount of illegal immigrants/migrants (again not the EU's fault) that flock into our country. Look at the recent 39 dead from Vietnam in the back of a lorry! We just don't have the funds required to patrol our borders effectively, as I touched on before, the lure of free healthcare and the cost to the nation of this being abused are a double edged sword. These migrant tragedies MUST stop! We aren't on such a different page as you might think! Respect your views, truthfully! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest October 30, 2019 (edited) I'm not saying EVERY person is here to abuse the system obviously. I know tons of them. And I never said once it's the EU's 'fault' they are here, I even asked genuinely about free movement. But I don't believe they just come for healthcare or even for work. Look up the stats of how many are kids for a start. Rasmus seems to think anything I say is blaming the EU. I don't know why. Anyway, #EU bad. 🤣🤣🤣 I thought we sorted geopolitics the other day, and this thread is about Trump and China just so you guys know. We don't have enough of those. Haha you beat me to it Rob. Whatever the thread it will end up with Brexit or Trump. Edited October 30, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest October 30, 2019 (edited) Ok lovely, but how do you realistically see it getting reformed mate, seriously? From what I can see it's 1 country after the other slowly developing problems? Maybe I'm exaggerating them, or it's because I watch Bloomberg all day so I just see doom and gloom, whereas it may be no worse crisis/news wise than Europe was years ago (when I wasn't watching all day). But all I see is bad - monetarily, migration, etc. I blame Juncker. Edited October 30, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then : 1) EU starts taking action that citizens can feel. Like taking on big tech; dealing with tax fraud etc. Doing somehting about outer borders. 2) EU tells "new EU" to either get in line or leave the Union Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
