Perhaps you'd like to explain in what way all the Bulgarians and Romanians
you know (and I assume you must know a great many of them very well, since
you are prepared to make such generalisations) are any more scum than
people
from other countries?

They move en-mass to someone else's country and their only
contribution to it is to drive down wages,

I think you'll find average wages have been rising steadily since the other
eastern European countries joined the EU, which rather spoils that theory

ie the richer are getting richer quicker than the poor are getting
poorer

take housing,

Take it? Don't they have to pay for it, same as everyone else?

Demand goes up, prices go up, ordinary British home buyers who don't
sleep 10 to a room suffer.


throw people
out of work,

Rubbish. Most eastern Europeans are doing jobs that most Brits don't want to
do anyway or which are in short supply.

Eastern Europeons are doing jobs for wages that British people can't
afford to live on due to living costs being far far lower in Eastern
Europe. The British taxpayer ends up paying to keep people on the dole
in order to increase the profits of dodgy companies and individuals.

and use public services they haven't paid for.


If they are working and pay taxes, then they've paid for them. Children and
retired people use public services they haven't paid for, but most
immigrants from eastern Europe are of working age, so I suspect that a
higher proportion of immigrants have paid for the services they use than
Brits have.

Children have parents and retired people still pay taxes.

Most Eastern Europeans are paid by cash in hand
