Seems like you're getting plenty of benefits out of the EU.
Most of the issues you mention, while acknowledging that they're real, are not caused by the EU.
- DyslexicAtheist 8y agofree movement should be a human right. I lived a decade in Asia before returning to EU. I'd also move to different countries even if it would require a visa. That has never stopped me. I hope to go to India next year. Has little to do with the EU "giving me the benefit". I alone make that possible not some political entity.

- DyslexicAtheist 8y agoyeah. I was ignorantly thinking of those that follow the law, are highly skilled and are welcomed into the country but didn't consider the folk who immigrate for economic reasons or refugees etc. sadly many will be prevented by a barrier if they have "the wrong type" of passport
- ben_w 8y ago> highly skilled and are welcomed into the country but didn't consider the folk who immigrate for economic reasons Aren’t those often the same people?
- tremon 8y agofree movement should be a human right Yet it never is when crossing nations' borders, except within the EU. How can you then say that the EU is not functioning?
- thesaint 8y agoInteresting. Germany and France have gotten plenty out of it. The Eastern EU is in the 'honeymoon' period, or rather being fattened for the milking...
