Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. -
I sense a barrage of positive spin on the way for what seems to me to be a very poor deal for the UK.
I say call their bluff and leave. I'm sure they need us more than we need them.
The Times made a good point yesterday, that the EU will have us over a barrel if we stay in. We're as likely to be "punished" for staying in as we are for leaving.
I highly recommend this:

The Polish Guy honestly says 2 and gets tax credits meant to support children in the UK whilst his kids are back home in Poland. We just need to change the tax credit form, those brits with kids living in Spain or France etc will have to claim for them in the country the kids are in.Comment

If the kids are in Poland, then they're not being educated in the UK. They're not receiving healthcare in the UK. Who knows - the amount saved might be more than the the child tax credits.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Are you a contributor to, or a burden on, the nation's finances? - 'Squeezed middle' increasingly dependent on the state | This is Money
You have to get to the top 40 per cent before you can claim to be a net contributor. Households in the fourth quintile pay £4,113 more in tax than they take out, while the top 20 per cent of earners pay a whopping £20,125 more in than they get back.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Don't forget you do have generous system in place. In poland for example, you need to work at least 6 months to be able to claim anything. How would that sound if we were requiring 4 years from foreigners and 6 months from poles?
Things different, I know. But maybe changing the welfare system is the key and put some of that child breeding lazy families to work ?Comment
