I believe (I could be wrong) work permits (equivalent to the T2G visas) were issued to EEA citizens on providing proof that they had a job offer in the UK. They could come to the UK with their family (the Surinder Singh case is from 1992), but it did not give an independent right to settle down. Settlement would be under the then UK Immigration Rules"

That's fair enough in my book....

That's my understanding as well, which Hannan in that interview should have been clearer about: this 'free movement of labour' is something akin to the current Tier-2 visas that is in place for non-EU citizens, albeit without the annual cap.

Jean-Claude Juncker said that expats are going to lose their pensions and health care.

I'm sure that'd be against EU rules though. Maybe they can all buy cats and claim it's an assault on their right to family life?

I'm sure they used to emigrate there back in the 80's - remember TV comedy series 'Don't Drink The Water'? It was shiiiittt.....
