So you have to ask the question is this true and if it is WHY
This another reason we need to look at why we are being forced in to this by the EU

Tens of thousands of children who live abroad but receive benefits claimed by immigrant families in Britain are costing British taxpayers more than £1m a week, campaigners claim.
The research by Migration Watch UK comes after the Government admitted just under 30,000 families are claiming benefits and tax credit for 50,000 children who live outside the UK but within the European Union (EU), as well as Iceland and Norway.

"At a time that UK taxpayers are being asked to tighten their belts, the Government is paying out over £1m per week to support children in other countries where costs are, in any case, often much lower.
"The majority of EU countries have the good sense to ensure that the child in question must be resident in that country in order to qualify and it is about time the UK did the same."
Poland is home to the highest number of children in the region who are receiving benefits claimed in the UK, with more than half the total, 25,659, receiving welfare.

If this is true and we have to pay this because of the EU it makes me sick and is yet another reason i see for us getting to hell out of the EU.
Our money should go to our kids not some family in Poland for instance.
This is the reason people detest the EU and the rules they force on us.
