Unlike other European countries, Britain does not operate an ID card system or require EU citizens from other countries to register their presence on arrival.
Perhaps if the UK had brought this in like other EU countries you'd have been able to implement the other EU regulations such as removing people that don't have a job after 3 months, etc, and the country wouldn't be in the position it's in now.

no argument, every country I've worked in around Europe, I've had to register as soon as I got there
if Britain doesn't have such a system and doesn't have this under control, better late than never, pretty damn quick get a solution in place and get it under control
ID cards specifically targeted non-EU citizens and because we, British, got rid of ID cards after WWII - there was a court trial over it - campaigners didn't want them back.
On another note as EEA citizens have to go through passport control to get in to the UK we should have simply got them to register on their way in and those with no address simply shouldn't have been allowed in as this means they plan on sleeping rough e.g. can't support themselves.
BTW that would have meant a new computer system.
