It is very clear that the UK has benefitted from the influx of workers from East Europe they are NOT a drain on the economy, they have added value to it , they do NOT live off social welfare, they pay taxes .

That depends who you are if you own a business and you want cheap labour it is great but if you are someone looking for a job at was a British rate you would think different.
Ask plumbers and electricians if these immigrant workers are competing at a fair rate for someone who lives in this country.
From my understanding they work very hard but spend very little of their money in this country, hardly helping our economy. They send money back and when they return they can live like kings for months on what they have saved.
And as for the argument they fill all of the jobs that the British don’t want to do this is just hogwash, I have been going down Devon and Cornwall for the last 15 years now why is it last year every Road Chef I stopped at employed eastern Europeans every campsite I stopped at had cleaners and bar staff that were eastern European, these jobs had previously been done by British workers or students.
And if there were all these jobs that businesses could not fill I take it they all went bust.
