    Not at all just pointing out the benefits.

    In fact if I go anywhere in the future it will be the UK because amazingly even after all this mass immigration there are tons and tons of gr8 jobs.



    incidentally that was not the case in the 1990's ....when everyone was unemployed and losing their houses. The UK really took in the 2000's
    I'm alright Jack

        ....oh wait if the UK contracting working in other countries are paying taxes elsewhere that means European contractors working in the UK are paying UK taxes..

        incidentally per capita spending on the NHS has risen over the 2000's. so you get a better service than you did in the 1990's

          You are not. You are scrabbling around trying to defend every bit of criticism of the EU. This smacks of self interest. Face it when the UK exits the EU there will be more UK contractors having to compete for UK jobs so rates will fall. I suggest you hurry along and apply for a romanian passport.

            The point Dodgy & I are making is that your argument is driven by self interest yet you do not contribute to the UK.

            I assume if you fall ill and are unable to work for a long period of time you and your like will be back to the UK to use the NHS despite not paying into it for decades?

            I and no reasonable person will have a problem with high value migrants working in the UK and paying tax so long as it is controlled and in the countries interest. Its the lowly paid ones that we subsidise with tax credits or displace UK workers.

            If the service has improved why do I wait longer for an appointment?

            grasp at another straw.

              This is good I'll repeat that because I agree with you

              I'm so glad you admit that.

                The spots will change when the vast market of Eastern european IT specialists begin to follow the freelance route. Presently labour mobility in the high value skills area is palpably low.

                    It is not a question of admitting anything! It is a question of reminding people like you that the EU was not set up just to support your privileged lifestyles.

                      And yours...
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
