Why do we slavishly obey every rule dictated to us by the EU without question yet other countries seem to have the guts to tell the EU to get stuffed if they disagree with a directive?
I don't think it's racist. It clearly isn't sustainable and it's nothing to do with race. There is a certain amount of people paying taxes and putting money into the system. It can't literally be shared around everybody who wants it. It needs to be a short-term safety net for those that deserve it, such as people who have paid in, and vulnerable people, who need it through no fault of their own.

Dave50, we don't the only one we don't obey is the one that might actually be of some benefit, guess which one that is? yep, its the law that says that asylum seekers must apply in the first safe country! You couldn't make it up!
Anyway before somone has a go I realise that the Romanian Pikies are EU and as such can claim a shed load of free money from the ever more burdened British tax payer. Perhaps some of the anti British here can put one up in their back bedroom eh?
Romanians claiming tax payers money, immigrants claiming etc , no different to Cameron and cronies , claiming benefits to pay their electric bills ,they just call it expenses , Get rid of them all.
The time will come when the British worker will be forced into paying into private medical scheme, a private pension fund, etc, etc. Whilst those who come to this country just to live off benefits and our own benefit scroungers, will be able to claim free from charge for all these things.
That will be the new Welfare State, welfare for all those who have never paid into the system.
