Blackbeard Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2632914/Child-benefit-worth-30million-paid-Britain-families-EU-Cameron-admits-impossible-stop-it.html Disgraceful. Cameron admits it's impossible to stop. This is the sort of thing we hope UKIP WILL put a stop to, if anything else. "More than 10,000 Britons are claiming unemployment benefit in Germany because they are not “hassled” in to finding work there." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/10392257/Thousands-of-Britons-claim-dole-in-Germany.html See you and raise you. I hope UKIP can put an end to that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey69 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Any links to the UK citizens that are working in the EU that are claiming for children here?. or how about the OAP who get winter fuel allowance when they live in the algarve or Bahamas. lets face it we are talking about peanuts when you think about the 55 million A DAY that goes to the EU pot.

tzijlstra Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So let's say I am working in the UK for the summer months, teaching kids Spanish. The tax system allows me to claim child benefit but I rather have the kids raised in Spain, should I not claim the child benefit? Of course I should, I am working here. We are talking about 55 million here, less than one can win in the Euromillion lottery on a good night. Another example of: Let's blame Europe! MASS HYSTERIA!!! PANIC!!! Get real. ---------- Post added 27-05-2014 at 16:24 ---------- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25628791 Poland's foreign minister has criticised David Cameron's call for a change to European Union treaties to allow the withdrawal of child benefit from migrants working in the UK. And he is quite right, it is a universal right that transfers across the EU, it comes with the play-ground. The only reason Cameron wants to abolish it is because he thinks it looks bad in the Daily Mail, if instead he'd just do his job properly and explain why the system works the way it is, he wouldn't have a problem.

tzijlstra Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ok, pretend your Cameron's speech writer. Tim, the floor is yours.... He being the Polish Foreign Minister, apologies if that wasn't clear. This is yet another story that will end up on this list of misleading stories regarding the EU appearing in the UK media. ---------- Post added 27-05-2014 at 16:40 ---------- By the way, has anybody realised that if they are sending the child-benefit home, than the kids aren't here to 'clog up the schools?' Can't have it both ways now, can we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
