Cameron policy will force Bristolians to come home
Conservative Party Conference: The Prime Minister, David Cameron has announced tough new EU immigration rules which will force Britons living and working abroad, a number of them Bristolians, to come home.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office estimates that almost 6 million Brits live overseas, with well over 1 million living in Europe. In addition to this, thousands of others are living on the Continent and working on short/ medium term contracts. The Prime Minister's plans will mean that immigration between European Nations will come to a halt potentially forcing Britons who have retired to countries such as Spain to come home. It is feared that the mass return of retired Brits will place a huge additional burden on social services and the NHS at a time when public services are buckling under the strain of government cuts.

David Cameron's proposal is of particular concern for the UK's business interests in Europe. Hundreds of Bristolians work on the Continent in the aerospace and defence sectors and this is likely to come to a halt under the Prime Minister's new policy. Business leaders will see Cameron's plans as a barrier to doing business with European partners and hurting what is already a very fragile UK economy.
It is understood that the Government could make the new EU immigration rules effective from as early as 2013 and is seen as a reaction to the Conservative Party losing a significant number of supporters and Councillors to UKIP.
The Prime Minister announced his plans during an interview on the BBC's Andrew Marr show.

“Many of Cameron's "policies" have encouraged people to leave the country, and stay away.”

“I don't know whether this is scaremongering or not but it certainly isn't helpful that the prime minister makes comments which pander to and stoke the fires of anti-EU sentiment. Unfortunately the UK is a very Euro skeptic country but most of the views I've ever heard to support this point of view are based on mis-information, or stories drummed up by the euro-skeptic press from misconstrued anomalies. Since emerging from the devastation of WW2 Europe has tried to build an economic trading block where it is easy for companies and individuals to do business and travel and work freely, trade using one currency & have human rights - things that not all the members have always had. The whole world is facing huge challenges at present, both economic and with a very dangerous situation developing in the Middle East that could easily start to involve countries outside that area militarily. We are much better off actively trying to help fix the problems facing our friends and partners in the EU than breaking away (but tied to another countries coat tails of course), or distancing ourselves. Some people would be very happy sitting in the City of London making another few billion from casino banking, and financing the war machine whilst the rest of the country are shipped of to fight Chinese and Russian troops, alongside American troops in the middle east. Hysterical rubbish? Maybe but the world is in a difficult place right now.”

“This made me spurt my tea out with laughter... Utter utter nonsense, and not what was said at all. Was that written by a school child ep?”

“He's talking about freecom of movement within the EU for non EU citizens. Are people really so gullible and stupid as to think that he's just going to attempt to autocratically send everybody back to their countries of origin?”

“And yours, mcupis, is simply a load of ill-informed nonsense. The PM explicitly stated on the Marr Show yesterday that he intended to act on restricting EU freedom of movement. The Home Secretary Theresa May also confirmed this in an interview in The Sunday Times. Now, go off and do something useful with your time and look them both up.”

“It seems that the Bristol Post is increasingly taking the view that it will deliberately distort any policy put forward by the GOvernment and indulge in unnecessarily winding people up in the quest for a headline. Absolutely shameful from a newspaper with such a proud tradition of high quality regional journalism.”

“Do the EP even know what these policies are?
From the poorly written article it appears not.”
