The only really interesting part is Eire <> UK, however I feel that needs way more discussion as while, of course, Eire are a part of the EU, there are inevitably a number of factors which simply aren't present in other EU countries.
Statistics detailing full welfare receipts would be far more interesting and, I suspect, present a far more negative case, hence why the Grauniad were so selective.
Very Inverse-UKIP.
