Probly worth a fortune in BongoBongoland, much like it is in Gamma Centauri.

Not even there.

Even in Gamma Centauri isn't enough for basic food for Giant Lizards.

Real story and typical of the ones I hear around the place from my sources.

Two poles come into the country and get jobs making sandwiches. They pay low level tax for a year before baby 1 appears. Baby 1 costs money to extract and support. Mummy looks after baby 1 instead of making sandwiches and tax contributions from imported family unit wane. Baby 2 appears 12 months later costing more in extraction fees and support. Having been supported in their humble abode in the private sector for the last 18 months they are allocated a free housing unit from the limited pool of such units. One sandwich maker paying limited tax on one hand and all those benefits on the other, sounds quite unequal to me. Can anyone explain to me the benefit of this to our country. Would it not have been better to get two from our own pool of skill less people to make sandwiches and pay them a little more than we do for sitting on ar5es? This is not just net negative this is very much negative on the GDP per capita whilst increasing our population for no reason.

but if you have one million Polish sandwichmakers of which ten live off benefits with the rest paying tax then you are quids in. As a bonus the sandwich makers want to do a good job and gain promotion to become sandwich making supervisors who then employ in turn Romanian sandwichmakers, and so on and so on. A British born sandwich maker who resents having to work will gob and spit in as many sandwiches as he can to the point where no one dares eat sandwiches any more. Suspicion escalates where everyone is scared that they are eating "gobbed in" food and no one dares to eat at all.

The nation starves to death and creates a free for all land grab from whoever gets here first.

More Polish sandwich makers I say with me making a fat fee out of each one

You are misquoting, quite disingenuous of you. I said they do not contribute in real terms, like you need to pay a certain amount of tax for the services, NHS, education, etc.

OK where in that report does it say that 90% are not contributing in real terms? Come on show me the numbers.

[Euro-commuter]

That may be someting to do with the business they are involved in. By the same token could you tell me why the major economies of the worls did famously well before poor immigration and now not so well.

What, like the USA? It was poor immigration that made it rich.

By the same token could you tell me why the major economies of the worls did famously well before poor immigration and now not so well. And some of the underpopulated countries continue to thrive?

Have you ever heard of something called socialism?

So you want to expel upwards of 600,000 EU citzens? There would be a few wee consequences to that but nevermind, eh!

And before you state the obvious, I do think it was a big mistake to expand the EU without a level playing field in terms of where people could work.

It is levelled in your favour. You are free to work anywhere in Eastern Europe (or western for that matter)

And the status quo is in Cassus Delis' favour - they need the immigrants more than anyone else

Do you think that Cassus is a little peeved because his Deli is being undercut with cheaper sandwiches from Eastern Europe?
