Romanians/Bulgarians effect on the UK?

I think the bigger problem will be Roma gypsies.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. They said the poles would take over but only 800,000 stay in UK and Poland has a population of 38 million.

How many are coming?

I think at least 2 millions will come lol

Romanians and Bulgarians are more inclined to migrate to countries such as Germany due to the language similarities. And again, out of all those that decide to emigrate, each country in western Europe will receive a certain proportion. I doubt that there will be one single country will undergo an anomalous wave of colossal mass immigration of foreigners, in millions. However, Britain being part of the EU constitution allows this possibility to occur.

lol that is a bit naive. England is the perfect place for any migrant to move to.

Free schools, NHS, Benefits. Its all on a plate.

I live with a Romanian, he says Italian is perhaps the easiest language for them to learn. Having said that, he started learning English when he was 4 and was taught it for 14 years so is very fluent. His grammar is often better than one of our other housemates who is british !

Your "friend" doesn't really represent 27 million people. That is just a whole generalisation.

What effect do you think the Romanians/Bulgarians will have on the UK? 2014 here we come!

Over 5 years (2014-2019) i do think the number will be a little above the 1.5 million mark (200-300000 per year as an average). It makes little sense for more than 2 million to come given that we only got that many Polish when only 3 countries had open borders and the economy was much better, plus the combined populations are smaller.



Even if your opposed to unskilled migration you surely concede that bringing in children who can be educated to a high standard and get the same skills as native Britain's is a good thing? The more children come here, the better as far as i am concerned.



I don't expect all much difference really, we still get 500,000 immigrants a year now and i don't encounter any real issues on my day to life.

I do believe that this government or the next does need an infrastructure review however to ensure capacity in 2030.

Next up is Croatia and then probably Iceland. After that it starts getting complicated.

im not against it to be honest if anything im more likely to benefit from the influx. I just like to get a feel about how everyone else feels about the situation.

Not all migration is the same i.e Pakistani immigrants are not likely to be as hard working as other asian immigrants and i think the picture will be different for Romanians/Bulgarians.

Aye, that's true. I'd actually like increased ties with Asia, hell if wasn't for the language gap free movement with the likes of Singapore could be great for the UK.

My general position is that i would prefer the EU to only expand to include countries which meet the EU average for GDP per capita (this largely takes care of the really unskilled in itself) but that i'm not overly bothered if they continue to expand into poorer countries because the negative effects are over-hyped and much is a result of our own flawed domestic policy.

Where i'm still undecided is in regards to expansion into the likes of Turkey and Bosnia, two Muslim countries.
