26 Answers
So we are going to let in Romania and Bulgaria. But we have lay down these conditions below. It is like opening a door to a burlglar and saying come on it and steal all you want.
Conditions
Unless Bulgaria cracks down on organised crime, legal decisions taken by its courts could be disregarded in the rest of Europe.
Both countries will have to report every six months on progress in fighting corruption.
By March, they also need to set up agencies to handle millions of euros worth of EU farm aid, or risk losing a quarter of the cash.
Both will face food export bans due to outbreaks of animal diseases like swine fever, while Bulgarian planes could be banned from flying into EU airspace until the country improves its air safety standards.

I foresee large number of UK voters from right across the poitical spectrum deserting their traditional political party at the next election and voting for the UK Independance Party who want to pull us out of the EEC.
I think many people in this country are now heartily sick and tired of the cost, bureauracy and meddling of the EEC into our sovereignty, and we have received very little benefit in return.
But the worm now seems to be slowly turning against the EEC across (with two national rejections of the proposed constitution) and its huge cost to us all.
Has anybody signed the latest online petition to campaign against the European parliament have two bases - in Brussels and Strasbourg, which is going to cost a fortune in salaries and commuting costs for MEP's?

Your look into the future "fender62" regarding the goverment making anyone in a council house share a room with immigrants is not as ludicrous has one at first imagines.
During WW2 a person called a "Billeting Officer" would knock on doors and if you had a house with spare space, you where obliged to take in Soldiers, Nurses or Munition workers or anyone else that were valuable to the war effort, and wanting accommodation.

Setting restrictions on the number of migrants to the U.K. seems a bit of a case of shutting the door after the horse has bolted, to me.
Fair enough to have restrictions on the number of Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants, but shouldn't these have been in place before the doors were opened to every other country before it?
As WendyS says above, I think the possibly effect if the situation doesn't improve will be the public choosing to vote for more extreme or marginalised political parties, purely because they support stringent immigration policies.
