IN SOME EU countries the minimum wage is a lot lower than the UK, by as much as 60 per cent in some places. 
But, according to Mr Cameron and his posse, we are all playing in the same playground and all share the same levels of pay.
If all is equal in the EU then why is the UK the place all and sundry want to get to at any costs?
One reason I learnt today was that a person from another country within the EU who works in the UK, but his wife and kids live in another country, he/she can claim child benefit at the UK levels of benefit here and have it paid in their home country.
They don’t want to claim in their own country because the payment there is a lot lower than in the UK.
 What a farce, we are the laughing stock of the EU. There is not a single politician in this country who has got the gall or gumption to stand up to Merkel and the rest of them and say no, enough is enough.
Cameron came away from his discussions, or should I say, being told what we, the British public will be getting and that’s nothing.
We will have no control of our borders, no control on the child benefits going abroad and no control of tax credits.
We will also have no control of housing allocation. If the EU says we will have  to allow 1,000,000 in then that’s what will happen.
I’m sure no one in Westminster, that includes all in Westminster, knows how to say no.
Roll on the referendum.
