It depends.
"The European Commission has accused Britain of discriminating against EU nationals who have been living and working in the UK."
If it's about people who have been working in the UK and paying contributions to the social security system, then yes, it's discriminatory, because otherwise you're charging people to pay for a mandatory insurance even though they can't claim on it, which is clearly wrong. You can go on blaming the EU if Britain's benefit system is fooked, but it's still a game of 'Blame Somebody Else'. I'm absolutely fine with the idea of 'no benefits for Johnny Foreigner' in the whole of the EU on one condition; no tax and social security contributions for Johnny Foreigner, in the whole of the EU.
To the electorate and government of the UK; your benefit system is a mess. It is nobody else's fault, it is your own mess. Grow up, stop whining and sort it out instead of blaming other people.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Its just more Wail bollox.
Immigrants significantly less likely to claim benefits or use the NHS
Because they're generally hard-working and younger - and the bulk of spending is on age-related healthcare and pensions.Hard Brexit now!

There are those that believe that the homogenization of peoples and cultures is a natural progression in man's evolution and that resistance is futile.Comment

agree our benefit system needs a review. but after the 'bedroom tax' & workfare challenges it looks less likely.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
