If we aren't recovering the costs we are entitled to then we should resolve it that way, as it seems we are paying out more to EEA countries for our tourists overseas. So again this is just a racist myth based on anecdotal accounts and an absence of evidence.

If it's out of date can you explain the factors that mean reality and 2016 isn't representative of reality in 2019?
EU migrants don't claim asylum here. You are conflating two separate issues that aren't one and the same.

The numbers are absolutely tiny - approx 30 000 per year since 2010 and a tiny fraction of all applications across the European Union.
What an absolutely rubbish comparison. EU migration is hardly equivalent to giving out free nice houses. The vast, vast majority make a contribution to this country.

You need to stop purposely bringing the R word into it, it's being unnecessarily inflammatory.
Anyone can repeatedly Google for out of date information to try and prove a point. Again, nobody has suggested that immigrants from the EU claim asylum. I was responding to your claim that immigrants aren't attracted to our superior welfare state.
You appear to have totally misunderstood my comparison to being forced to accept people into the UK and the reasons why they would want to do impose themselves upon us (along with the general confusion caused by you responding to points that haven't been made).
Also, whilst immigration is a key factor in Brexit, as usual you seem to become obsessed with one particular point in a thread and go on about it ad infinitum. Others have remarked that this has all been covered before (which it has), so i'm now bringing our conversation to a close before everyone else falls asleep.
