    That's true in the UK too - in fact it's true anywhere in the EU. In the UK, for an EU citizen to claim benefits they have to be actively seeking work.

    But the being able to work anywhere is an EU thing, and the UK can't change that... (well, not without leaving the EU, I guess...?)

    Yes but I can't get them at all weather seeking work or not.

    The Dutch support the Dutch all others can go home essentially

    Yeah, but I think the point Larkspeed was making was the second bit of what he said ....

    ....

    I cannot however claim any benefits, if I cannot support myself then I can go back to the UK

    If I want to claim anything then I must first become a Dutch citizen

    I was going to write up a proper rebuttal of this, but if this is as much as you have to contribute to the debate then it probably isn't worth it. But you've certainly proven the point of the thread. For that I take my hat off to you.
    No. I mean what I said.

    We should put them all on a large boat, send it out to sea and then nuke it.

    And why do you think we should do that?

    I think we all know whats going on here. . In my opinon the eu will soon be invitig in paedophiles and aids because they want t breed a hybrid fetus. True patriots must chop their hand's off, see how they like it. Oh wait, that wouldn't be 'pc' enough.
