SIR – The welfare system in this country is already at breaking point, yet with the imminent arrival of masses of Bulgarians and Romanians, Britain is heading for a new welfare bombshell. This is simply a repeat of 2004, which saw the floodgates open to many from the EU to come here to seek work.
Employment agencies and gangmasters will stampede to hire the new arrivals as it will increase their profits by paying lower wages.
There must be severe restrictions on new arrivals to stop this happening.
