This is just plain amusing. It seems that until now there were some kind of restrictions in UK concerning immigrants, and now their government is planning on cutting these restrictions. Now they fear of a massive invasion of immigrants from eastern countries, especially Romania and Bulgaria.

How do they plan from keeping these immigrants to come to their country?
I cite:

"Please don't come to Britain – it rains and the jobs are scarce and low-paid" -The Guardian

You have to notice that they specifically target these two countries. I think the press or public spokesmen have never mentioned the true reason for this. What country would try to keep out civilized, educated people that hope to get a better life? It's all about gypsies. I'm not a racist, I have personally met gypsies that are educated people who deserve their respect. But it's an unfortunate exception from the rule. Nobody wants to deal with the rest of these people. A lot of them lead a miserable life based on begging, and it's so hard-wired in their culture that they just won't care. The "higher class" part, who are dubiously rich, promote a chav(or how do you say it) culture.
The sad part is that they actually had tradition and folklore, but it was lost as the years past and their old people died.

These are facts I know just by observing, why do publications keep omitting such informations?

Every new wave of immigrants seem to get the same shitty treatment in the lower layers of the UK society.

Pakistanis had it bad in the 80s, racism and everything. The Polish were the next scapegoat for every job lost due to binge drinking, etc. Now it's Romania/Bulgaria.

There's tons of locals on welfare looking for someone to blame, which means bullshit articles like that sell.

I enjoy my wide open space too much to consider moving. Not a fan of crowds. Traveling to other countries is much much harder over here though, that's a bit of a downer.

Who wouldn't want to live in Britain? It's one of the richest places in Europe. Minimal wages in Britain are three or four times higher than most other countries in Europe, whilst everything costs the same.

It's not a problem with Romanians in England. This happens in every country. When you open up to immigrants, rich people from other countries don't bother moving over, because they're already rich and their moneymaking scheme is where they are (or the few that do, go mostly unnoticed). Poor people, on the other hand, flock over to the new place to find new opportunities; which there aren't that many of, so they end up begging or stealing or living off social benefits or whatever, rather than returning to their country, "because they're in a better place now" even if they are in a much worse situation than before (then again, people that do that without considering their options beforehand are idiots).

That is probably the reason I'd never move to a different country even if it is "better", if I didn't have a certainty that I could secure a stable position to make a living.

And what if you certainly couldn't secure a stable position to make a living where you are NOW?
I would think that's why most people move to 'seek opportunity'...

It's still better to be poor in your own country than to be poor in a foreign country where nobody knows you or cares about you.

Plus it's about everywhere that natives have a slightly higher chance of being accepted.
