C'mon it's got to be a level playing field old kidda. Fanatics, remainers, traitors, brexiteers, brextards etc etc etc it's all part of the theatre.

OK, I’ll let Ellers fight his own corner. I just thought it was straying into the realms of personal mockery, Bob. As you were.

child benefit is taken in the UK by many families that can afford it

let money go to people who maybe need it

this article makes all Romanians look like cheaters they aren’t plus you now talk about other people as well ?

so you are saying its only the romanians that do it
as with the pension child benefit isnt (or wasnt)means tested
but it should go to people who are entitled to it
i dont think the fact you work in the uk but you have children in romania should be a reason

Do you remember during the 2016 Ref Nigel Farage warned of the dangers that Turkey could inflict on Europe.
He was demonised as a racist but look at what’s happening in Syria and the threat Erdogan is now making that he will flood Europe with 2.6m refugees.
ISIS amongst them.

Time for a reality check as to the financial situation of Rumanians in the UK. Rumania spends over € 100,000 to educate each doctor - currently there are over 10,000 Rumanians employed by the NHS. You can do your own maths to work out the saving there for Britain ! Only 2.2% of all social security claimants in the UK are from other EU countries, and only 0.26% of children receiving child benefit are not UK based - the leading countries here being Poland and Ireland. There are 272,000 Rumanians in the UK (what minute amount of these are claiming any benefits ?) the vast majority are paying taxes and doing jobs which the British don't want to do.
