Is that your own list Mrs C, or a copy and paste job from your favourite rag? You have probably just unintentionally recruited a few more UKIP members by publishing it. And anyway, the EU in/out argument is not just about UKIP, plenty on the left want out too.
He certainly puts forward a plausible scenario for managing our exit from the EU - should we ever get a referendum to make that choice,
Yes Mrs C, that is exactly what I am saying.
Of course, Mrs C, you provided a link to The Guardian which had already done the cherry-picking for you, then urged us all to take it on board as if their version was the honest truth. Why am I not surprised by that. In answer to your question, immigrants would have the prerogative to work where they please. @Lynne There is such a thing as medical insurance, But given that the NHS ...
@Mrs C It's rather rich of you to accuse me of selective reading, when you cherry-picked from UCL report to suit your own ends. I've already told you what I would restrict to new immigrants.
@Mrs C The benefits that immediately spring to mind are JSA, child benefit, the NHS. I am sure there are others to consider. Just to clarify one of your earlier points, the UCL study covered the years 1995-2011. For seven of those years even immigrants from within the EEA were a net burden on the economy. The picture you would like us all to take on board doesn't seem quite so ...
Who's talking about sending anybody home? What I would advocate is restricting access to benefits or public services until any immigrant has paid into the system for a defined period, I think five years sounds reasonable.
And the same report reveals that immigration, during the analysed period, from outside the European Economic Area cost the country £118,000,000,000. Though I wouldn't expect The Guardian (or Mrs C) to highlight that particular fact.

The UK is inexorably heading towards the EU exit door, and by pulling a stunt like this the poisonous, corrupt EU is hastening the day that happens. I welcome it, as our exit will ultimately lead to the demise of the whole stinking organisation.
Well Mrs C does have a habit of removing posts, perhaps she ought to engage her brain before spouting her bile.
