UK faces court over migrant benefits

It has become so totally unimaginable for me why people should have the right to demand payments when they never contributed in return.

If only Atlas would shrug. If only he would.

Well I'd certainly like to see that being the definitive position. A bit like Australia unless they've relaxed the rules in recent years.

The EU is a criminally corrupt, so corrupt they make the Mafia look honest.

Yea, EU citizens who can claim social security in other EU countries and the countries associated with the EU which are Iceland. Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. That sounds as if the EU law would be offerering great opportunities for people like you and me, does not it?

But, believe me. I have checked that already years ago.

Do you really think that I would be that stupid to be sitting here in my office right now and be posting to you if I could claim social security in other EU countries without having paid contributions to the social security scheme of that country before?

If that would be possible, I would have years ago quit working forever and would have already moved to a sunny and warm place with beaches somewhere in a French or British Oversea territory which is part of the EU , too., let say the Caribian Martinique for example, and would be living on social benefits/welfare there, as I don't need much, just a coconut and a bit of rum or red wine here and there.

Such a plan has a flaw unfortunately: the freedom of movement to any EU country and Liechtenstein, Norway, Schwitzerland and Icleand is limited for people who are unemployed. You need to have enough own funds to live without depending on social benefits/welfare to reside somewhere else. Otherwhise they throw you out of the country.

What have I been thinking? Bossmark has decribed it correctly.
