In my opinion, nobody should require in-work benefits, because employers should be paying workers a decent wage in the first place. To remove in-work benefits from people, solely based on where they come from, is a disgrace. It's saying to low skilled workers that a condition of coming to the UK, is that they work and live in poverty.
EU migrants should have access to in work benefits why shouldn't they?, they work for them, then they can have in work benefits, but like you said no one should have them because companies should be paying them decent wages but that doesn't happen.
However on the other side of the coin they shouldn't be able to claim for child benefits for their children who aren't even in the country.... you can't do that anywhere else so why does the UK have to give them out?.
A few smaller countries are against this... i wonder why?, Is that because we give your people money so you don't have to? (My point before about been able to claim benefits for children not even in the country)
I'm not a racist, but its really annoying how they can come in to the country and soon as they arrive they can claim everything, you can't do that in America or Australia... although they aren't part of the EU... but that was a couple of examples.
Have we even been told the deal David got yet?
