It's difficult, we have good benefits, minimum wage, NHS, great schools, etc etc. To negotiate on immigration with other EU countries that don't have these things is really hard.
- izacus 10y agoIn what way other EU countries do not have that?
- monk_e_boy 10y agoWe have a lot of Polish immigrants where I live. Health care in Poland is delivered through a publicly funded health care system, which is free for all the citizens of Poland provided they fall into the "insured" category (usually meaning that they have their health insurance paid for by their employer, or are the spouse or child of an insured person.) Minimum wage in Poland is 410 EUR, in the UK it is 1,378 EUR ... I could keep going but you get the point. The UK is a desirable place to live. The UK is small. The UK has a housing crisis. The NHS is at breaking point (our local hospital is in crisis)... Not much of this is due to immigration, but it doesn't help that 500,000 (or so) new people turn up each year.
- izacus 10y agoI still fail to see your point. What does free Polish healthcare have to do with the NHS? O.o
- monk_e_boy 10y agoYeah, it is a complex issue. I guess you just need to do your own research and make up your own mind.
