I ASK this important question because at present the Brussels bullies are trying to make Britain cough up an estimated £2.5 billion as benefit handouts to any EU jobless person who is coming to Britain, whether they are jobseekers or not. What sort of madness is that?
Employment Minister Chris Grayling has vowed to oppose the European Commission’s ruling and has warned that it could lead to benefit tourism. We are already battling with our own country’s deficit trying to trim the benefit budget; where is this extra money going to come from?
This is yet another attempt to control Westminster and should be resisted at all costs.
