    Freedom of movement includes freedom to stay, those visas will be short term, not leading to permanent settlement, but obviously would be easy route for illegal immigration, assuming UK would even be attractive country for it in a few years time.

      You are making a big assumption that in low unemployment environment many of those who stay on the dole are employable in the first place, nevermind offering lots of money for it.

        Freedom of movement means you can stay over 3 months if you have the means to support yourself.

        Once you have stayed over a certain time then you are eligible for certain benefits.

        Unfortunately the UK government didn't implement the 3 month rule properly unlike other EEA nations.

          Nobody knows exactly the myriad of reasons why all people voted Brexit, because it wasn't on the ballot paper.

          Your sample of one is as valid as the sample of the bloke that just did it for a laugh.

            Sheesh. The legal profession is stooping quite low these days.

              Wait, low unemployment environment? I thought there were thousands of unemployed media studies students?

                Depends on the nature of the coffee shop

                  Freedom of non-movement you mean?

                  Are people in jobs really going to be kicked out after 2 years? Short of an army of media studies students retraining as Baristas, it's hard to see that happening.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    It's pretty much at level where it can't be driven much lower.

                    The real problem is that a lot of "jobs" that were created in recent years are rather tulipy and can disappear very easily.

                      indeed.
