"Mr President, what does social security coordination mean? Does it mean that the benefits systems of all EU states are brought up to the British standard at their taxpayers’ expense? No, it means that the British benefits system is made available to any EU citizen who wants to use it.
My constituency – London – particularly feels the impact of foreign claimants on the housing, health and benefits systems. David Cameron has had to respond to public outrage by saying that he wants to limit EU citizens’ access to benefits, but he cannot do so, and he knows it. It is not often that I can agree with an EU Commissioner, but Viviane Reding has said that this is against EU law and that he cannot discriminate on the basis of nationality. England is now the soup kitchen of the world, and the soup is running out. This is just one of the reasons why we have to leave the European Union."@en1
