Chancer, you have only got to look at the people who want to stay in the EU to realise it's wrong, Tony Blair, Alister Campbell, John Major and Gina Miller etc etc etc. The EU is of no benefit whatsoever to the UK, but the UK is a massive benefit to the EU, hence they don't want us to leave. The real cost to the EU of us leaving will probably run into £trillions. The EU is something we pay money into, it is not something that pays us money.
Free health care for lots of their citizens, free prison care for lots of their citizens and lots of benefit goodies for some of their citizens who registered here and don't even live here, and claiming child benefit for non existent children.
My wife was with a friend 2 days ago who is German and she had to call an ambulance out for a problem she had. My wife asked her, will she go to the doctors when she gets back to Germany on Monday, and her reply was, no because she will have to pay because she hasn't been contributing to the system in Germany.
We have another friend from Slovakia who lives here and works full time at Specsavers. She knows of a couple also from Slovakia who came here 5 years ago, neither of them have ever worked here but live in a house for free, get lots of benefits and have a child through expensive IVF treatment here on the NHS and are in the process of having another child through expensive IVF treatment on the NHS, I think this is what they refer to as health tourism.
As you know, my wife is Colombian, and it was a very expensive process to bring her here through the correct channels and it was made very clear to her that she had absolutely no access whatsoever to public funds!!!! Shame they don't say that to the EU visitors.
