    nope that was because he was siring a girl half his age - allegedly.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Nitpick alert!

        If he sired a girl, wouldn't she have to be aged zero to start with?

        (Mind you, at some time she would be half his age.)

          Brexit will be implemented and:

          and we simply need to all accept it and pull behind it, and stop "bremoaning".

          If policed properly, freedom of movement of Labour isn't such a bad thing. Free movement of people, regardless of circumstances, is what most Leave voters decided to end. So lets all have a group and forget all about Brexit. Poor old AtW will have to take his DOOM elsewhere, or better still, take a long holiday...
          His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

            I'm guessing it's been a while and the poor chap has forgotten the difference...

              What a pity we're wasting billions on Brexit when freedom of Labour is all the EU really requires.
              Why the UK went further and implemented freedom of People when it wasn't really required by the EU, then blamed the EU for its own stupidity, is one we can leave to the historians.

              But hey that's the way it is.
              Hard Brexit now!

                Not sure what difference it actually makes. A EU citizen could move here for a cleaning job, receive benefits to bring his wage up. Move his family over, who could then claim benefits.

                He could lose his cleaning job and claim job seekers allowance.

                  Misinformed I'm afraid. EU rules specify you can deport a non-national who relies on state benefits.
                  Because the NHS is free and is a state benefit, we could even have required anyone moving here to have private health insurance (as Switzerland does).

                  But lets not discuss this any more. Time to move on. what is done is done. A sledgehammer has been used to crack a nut.
                  Hard Brexit now!

                    That is why the government didn't bother enforce it. At the end of the day there is plenty of abuse from non-EU citizens. What is interesting is the total focus on EU immigration and yet two thirds of all immigrants in the UK are from outside the EU.

                    What is also often is overlooked is that EU immigrants are much more temporary, obviously some bring their families over, but the lower paid often leave their families back in their home countries, something the Daily Mail picked up on to whip up outrage at Eastern Europeans claiming tax credits for their families in Romania. Isn't this the best way of employing foreigners ? have them come over just to do their job and return when it's finished ? no...not for Paul Dacre, they're either scrounging b***ards clogging up the schools, roads and hospitals or scrounging b*ards claiming tax credits.

                    I'm alright Jack

                      In my example, if they lose their benefits they get 3 months to get another job. Then benefits apply.
