I assume you are referring to yourself.......

Honestly don't remember that thread at all. Wowzas.

I remember discussing the Habitual Residency Test on here about six or seven years ago - nearly everyone discussing it didn't have a clue it existed. They were convinced it was just a free-for-all. In retrospect I shouldn't have been surprised at all by the leave vote, as barely anybody had any...

Not only that, but we've essentially been running an experiment on 'managed migration' for the last few decades, as it's dead easy to compare EU migrants who come in via freedom of movement with non-EU migrants who the government have to allow to come here. You can compare their employment...

...how the system works. I've had many conversations with people who voted to leave who were totally, completely unaware that the Habitual Residency test is a thing. They've bought into the far right nonsense of the UK being a free for all. Hence why I find this "skills based" nonsense exactly...

Give them whay they'd get in their own country then, that sounds fair doesn't it? If they find employment after a short qualifying period they could then gain access to tax credits etc and be classed the same as a National. Just remove the opportunity to rock up and get free housing, full...

...overall rather than just the negative. There are already systems in place that by and large do stop the negative - such as the Habitual Residency Test - which could be marginally tightened up (for example, that girl from the article DID have a partner who lived and worked long term here...

...That's an issue with non-EU migrants (who can easily claim asylum) but generally it's not an issue for EU migrants due to the Habitual Residency Test which prevents any non-UK resident from claiming benefits. Even if they float around the UK performing illegal cash in hand jobs for five...

I never said it happens en masse (it certainly does happen though).

No! That doesn't happen! Habitual Residency Test etc. It's a complete myth that EU migrants claim benefits en masse, it just doesn't happen.

Sorry mate but that is complete rubbish.....

http://www.singleresource.co.uk/viewjob.asp?ID=7 There's a job open for anyone who wants it in Skelmersdale. It's filled by nine EU migrants to every one English person due to the fact that the English would by and large rather sit on their arse on a comfortable benefit system (Housing Benefit...

No, lots do. They have to pass a Habitual Residency Test to claim benefits and settle without a job, and hardly any of them can pass it without gainful employment. An EU migrant can only come here and make money via crime or via having a job - and 99.9% of them do the latter, regardless of your...

Spot on, yes we need to control immigration but it's not the issue many on here make out. Many of the problems people describe and assign to 'immigrants' are more often about British citizens who happen to be a different colour to themselves. It is more acceptable for the BNP to say these...

...people don't hate preach, for example. In regards to EU migration, people on here are apparently unaware of things like the habitual residency test which all but prevents benefit claimants for temporary workers who try to fiddle the system - they literally cannot just walk across the border...
