Not only those that move for handouts but powers back to UK so it easier to deport. Other western EU countires want all this too for their countries as they fed up and agree with UK and thats what scares the rest of EU countries.
UK has to make 12 billion in welfare cuts this year to keep to the law the Lords and MPs made, to cap the UK annual welfare bill. Those 12 billion cuts needed to keep to that cap this year. More cuts to be made if more ask for welfare. Good sense to remove the EUs welfare first to try to meet some of that 12 billion in cuts this year.
I think UK will leave the EU and many more western EU countries will then follow. The perhaps these countries will have quota of movement betwen themselves with easier to deport rules and no welfare. They can then bring back rules the EU banned, that helped their own citizens. Free movement has not been good for western EU.
