The British fought to achieve and maintain a high standard of living, We should not allow others from the 3rd world erode that, Imagine if we all try and live 10 to a room to save money?
There's more on the 'Polish invasion' here,but it's interesting to read the 'readers comments' to get a feeling for how its gone down in the UK.
In the long run, it was planed since 1974 that the EU would brake up the United Kingdom, but at this rate it will be destroyed by 2017.

Eastern Europeans benefit greatly from coming to the cost of the UK people, If someone from Poland & Slovakia comes to the UK, they can be guaranteed that one hours work here is the equivalent to five hours back home. One full week is the equivalent to five weeks, one month equals five months and so on.
The usual argument is "But they come and do the jobs British people won't". That's rubbish. I'd go to Poland and be a cleaner, if it paid me five times what a cleaner paid in the UK. That's the difference.
Even the benefit system is better than living in Poland or Slovakia for them, with free housing and free NHS.
The reason that they are all flocking to UK is NOT for work but for the unlimited freebies...for example in Spain you don't get everlasting dole money and most other countries it is restricted. What I really fail to understand is that when I came to live in France I had to produce documentation to show that I was self supporting...why is UK any different?
