Britain facing new eastern Europe immigration surge
Telegraph ^ | 21 Oct 2012 | David Barrett, and Colin Freeman

Britain is facing a new wave of Eastern European immigration which will put British workers’ jobs at risk...

Twenty nine million Bulgarians and Romanians will gain the right to live and work unrestricted in Britain in 2014 under European “freedom of movement” rules.

Last night forecasters said it could lead to a significant number of new arrivals, in the same way as when Poland and other Eastern European countries gained the same rights in 2004, with the scale likely to be increased by the economic crisis gripping the rest of Europe.

And a Government report was disclosed to show concern among official advisers that the British labour market will suffer “adverse effects” as a result.

Both the countries’ citizens currently have restricted rights to come to Britain since they joined the European Union in 2007, but those limits end on 31 December 2013, opening the way for them to move freely.

I’ll take Bulgarians and Romanians (both overwhelmingly Christian), any day, over what we’ve been getting here.

And joining the E.U. did what for the U.K. again?

From world’s most powerful empire to vassal state in 100 years.

I think there is some sort of award for that.

Agreed, and the Eastern Europeans will also come and start businesses while pursuing a dream of prosperity. They aren’t going to come and live off the system. Unlike the Muzzies, they can do that where they already live.

We didnt join the EU until 1973.

And btw, we ended our Empire by bankrupting ourselves fighting two world wars, the latter against the worst group of men the world has ever seen, and alone for over a year.

A lot of the Romanians who come here though are deadbeat faux-gypsy types though, petty thieves and crooks, pickpockets, scam artists.

Romanians......faux-gypsy types, petty thieves and crooks, pickpockets, scam artists.....

There is one way to correct that:
i.e., Let in many more Albanians, who have the unique ability to make Gypsies ... or indeed any iffy ethnic group, look like solid, salt 'o' the earth citizens.
