Davy51 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Now EU exit talks are underway ,& Mrs May has made her opening move on the rights of existing EU immigrants to the UK , i was wondering what reciprocal rights & benefits are available to UK ex pats in Europe. Are the same housing, sickness & unemployment benefits payable & pension arrangements as all immigrants to the UK will get. I doubt this is the case as most benefits in Spain for instance are scant to say the least & it would be grossly unfair for the UK to still be attracting immigrants based on our welfare state & generosity as a nation.

observer Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, I'm seeing stories of 3 million EU citizens in the UK, that are currently heart broken. But if we read the rest of the anti-Brexit propaganda, the UK being doomed to poverty and the EU with a bright future, you'd expect the 3 million to be gagging to get home.

asperity Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 This is the proof that the experts are wrong yet again. If they were right all the EU expats would have gone home and all the would be 3rd world immigrants would have set their hearts on another EU country, anywhere but here.

Davy51 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 You see,if the EU is so good ,why do we not have a mirror image of Sangatte in Kent with people jumping in the backs of wagons to get to Europe.It seems that the further south & east you get in the EU the less you are likely to find countries that will provide welfare for their citizens in times of hardship.They will have brilliant roads & railways though & other perks from EU money all provided by net contributors to the EU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 That's why they are so uptight about us leaving, the second highest donor leaving, will blow a hole in their accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
