Two way street /'..............
As EU work restrictions are lifted for Romanian and Bulgarian migrants, the influx has begun... of Britons heading for Bucharest
Many Romanians were put off moving to the UK because of its increasingly racist rhetoric
It was billed as the day when a flood of migrants from Eastern Europe would descend on Britain's airports and ferry terminals, the day when thousands upon thousands of economic migrants would arrive to price our indigenous population out of the job market - and impose an intolerable burden on our free-at-the-point-of-use health service and welfare state.
So the story went. But on the evidence of Flight BA886 - from Heathrow to Bucharest's Henri Coanda International airport - it seems that Romania and Bulgaria may have more to worry about than we do.
Barnaby Davis, 30, from London, has been teaching English in Bucharest for the last six months. He now lives in the Romanian capital with his American girlfriend, Sorcha Sills, 26, who is also a teacher, and was travelling back for the start of term.
"We wanted to live in Eastern Europe because it's really interesting and we'd heard great things about Romania," Mr Davis said. "There's a large ex-pat community and it's a good place to live because the wages are so much higher than the cost of living, so fundamentally we're better off than we would be in the UK."

i hardly think floods of brits will head to the two countries in order to earn less money than they do now, the influx is likely to happen in the spring when the seasonal job markets open.

All the Brits I know who live and work in Romania or Bulgaria are self-employed or work for multinational agencies or international law firms. They are all very happy with things there; the costs of doing business dwarf those in the UK and the cost of living is still rock bottom.

the flood happened before despite the government of the day saying it would not happen.

There's lot more jobs than those seasonal ones Howard that need filling right now. If we haven't got those living here with the will to work we need the numbers to add up now.
We have our own army of seasonal migrants to the West Country resorts in the Summer, perhaps we could close down the benefit system and ask them, nicely, if they would help out?
On second thoughts we would first of all have to resurrect the will to work......
Do nothing and nothing happens.

'Parliament makes decisions, not the people' - anger as Peers say public cannot be trusted on EU vote
``They do have a point.The public are being bombarded with populist,provocative sound bites by `protest ` parties and tabloid
press that they can use and repeat easily without deeper thought and eventually believe to be true,thereby making
a Referendum a dangerous tool.It would only produce an ill-conceived judgement.``
A referendum on Europe would be a "lottery",
Peers have been accused of showing "contempt" for British voters over the proposed EU referendum, saying the public cannot be trusted to make the right decision.
Dozens of members of the House of Lords today attacked Conservative plans to set in law an in/out vote on Britain's membership of the European Union by 2017.
There are growing fears the bill will be killed at committee stage by Labour and Liberal Democrat peers, despite it sailing through the Commons and receiving an unopposed second reading in the Lords.
Lord Mandelson, the former EU Commissioner, said any vote would be a "lottery" in which the electorate would be swayed by irrelevant issues.
He told peers David Cameron had been "taken hostage by the militant tendency" in the Tory Party and was "grandstanding to the Ukip gallery."
