So......... Brits working in, or having retired to, another EU country would also have to have had residency in that particular country for at least 5 years? or would it just apply to those with jobs? so what about the health care of ex pat retirees then?
So......... a person turns up at A&E. The hospital people think (from that person's command of English and/or accent) that they might be an immigrant. How do the hospital people ascertain that 1. the person concerned is indeed an immigrant and that 2. they have been in this country the required 5 years.

Say, just say, that immigrants were to be banned from access to the NHS for 5 years from the date of their arrival in the UK. Anyone any idea how this could be enforced? Could it be - no access to anything. In which case how would immigrants access medical care? Or, access but have to pay.

Yep - the guy I was talking with told me that his bank is just waiting to see what branches Lloyds close and anticipate that their bank will consequently benefit, thank you very much. What banks are there presently in Teignmouth by the way? I know the co-op is closing and that there is a Barclays. What others?

In that first week alone over £1m was transferred by Britannia/Co-op bank customers to his bank's Teignmouth branch. Over £1m!
