It was the best experience of my life so far and as a direct result of the EU laws on employment. The benefits of being able to live and see other cultures is amazing, and millions of people have had that benefit.
So free movement, and being able to actually live and work in a variety of different cultures is more than a "vaguely positive attribute". It is life changing. Granted that's of no benefit to people who want to just stay in their own country their whole lives, and it's of no benefit to me right now looking for full time work in my home country, but I value the ease I can go abroad and work and live now and in the future.
Granted it's fun for anybody who chooses it, but to have people forced overseas simply to find work is absurd when there are existing jobs in their own backyard which are being given away to migrant workers for the reasons above.
And i may as well copy/paste what I wrote on another forum to save writing it again..

Quote:Look at the governments current "idea" to force people off of unemployment benefit- they're going to order anybody claiming on Job Seekers allowance to take part in unpaid community service projects side by side with criminals and while the unemployed are being degraded like this the government at the same time encourages more migrant workers to take up the jobs that the "indigenous" citizens could be doing themselves!
It's complete nonsense. And I think when these mandatory community service projects get forced onto the unemployed we're going to see a lot of discontentment surface very quickly.
Apt dontcha think?
