Saw a report about this on News at Ten last night. They were in Riga, Latvia, highlighting the serious problem they're experiencing with an exodus of especially younger people leaving for a better life in the UK. Chief amongst the reasons given were the jobs and benefits available in the UK, especially the child related benefits which it was said encourage migrants to remain and bring up their families here rather than returning home where things are much harder. Free movement of people has it's problems on both sides of the fence.
